Still a better speaker than the RNC's celebrities, unless she starts saying that Trump loves Satan or is a Muslim.

Suing other governments probably works better for you guys as well. We lose to you guys all the time under NAFTA, so I'm not too keen for Canada to enter another set of agreements so we can lose more (one of the bigger reasons I temporarily switched political allegiances in the last Canadian election.) | ||

I think it's bad in general because it continues the trend of locking IP into monopolies for longer and longer periods of time, but it'd probably work alright for those that already have, which I suspect are American.

Isn't the full text of the TPP out? | ||

And furthermore, I think it depends on the specific celebrity's knowledge and message that makes him or her relevant at a national convention. | ||

Yeah. Never thought I would vote NDP after voting Conservative and Alliance, haha. Liberals were too wishy washy, plus they were a non-entity in my riding. Besides, Mulcair popped out right of centre as a fiscal conservative, promising a balanced budget, haha. What an election that was. However, the follow up from their convention makes me very disinterested in their party. | ||

Though I wonder how many people are actually going to read the TPP. I neither have the time nor the legal expertise to read the full text. Probably by design. | ||

have you read it then fiwi? I also dislike watching vids; I'd rather have the text of osmething, that's much faster to read; and it's easier to quote which facilitates discussion. legal -> which results do you find unsatisfactory? as to it being long; wlel, everything these days is long and complicated; if you don't make it detailed then there ends up being a bunch of debates/issues over uncovered stuff. If I were in congress i'd read it; as is, i'll skim a few sections maybe. | ||

If you can't put in the effort to actually write out your argument, i won't put in the effort of reacting to it. | ||
