Video: Day of Action against the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Corporate Globalization

On January 31, 2014, the Council of Canadians participated in an Inter-Continental Day of Action against the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Corporate Globalization. Actions and events took place in more than 50 cities across Canada, the United States, Mexico and Australia. 

Dan Peruzzo of D See Video Productions captured the action in Comox, British Columbia and is inviting everyone to share and post the video to their websites, Facebook accounts and listserves. It’s a good time to do so with TPP negotiations continuing behind closed doors in Singapore this week.

“Agreements like these adversely affect all regular people of the globe,” says Peruzzo. “They only feed the economy of the wealthy at the expense of public and their resources.”

Please share the video, and if you haven’t done so yet, take a moment to send Canada’s trade minister, Ed Fast, and trade MPs a letter demanding they release the full TPP text now and hold public hearings before it can be signed. Click here to Expose the TPP!
