CETA was finalized in 2014. Trudeau signed the documents for Canada in Nov. 2016, right so no heavy lifting unless a BIC is considered heavy. TPP fell apart when the U.S. under Trump withdrew from the agreement. Its successor, CPTPP followed much of the same format but eliminated a lot of the US clauses. The jury is still out on whether it is a good thing for Canada or a bad thing. So you are back to 1 out of 3 with the second as a sort of achievement and the third as a loser

EU-Canada trade deal in crisis as Canadian minister walks out
President of European parliament makes last-ditch bid to save talks as Chrystia Freeland announces ‘failure’ of Ceta over Wallonia objections

As for CPTPP, only you would call free trade with Japan, Australia, Singapore and the UK a bad thing.

Solution? Actually negotiate in good faith, it was known 2 weeks ago the gov was going to potentially use the NWC. Why was it used? To prevent court challenges against the back to work order. Which last time that happened in 2002 the gov lost. This has set up a major battle at the supreme court, as well between the AB gov and the AFL.

New Leger poll gives UCP government failing grade in wake of strike
Demo at Elections Alberta, Gordon McClure will show how citizen initiatives are processed. With Lucaszuk's Forever Canada petition in the wings and another going to court (the first test of citizen initiative legislation) and last week's municipal ballot debacle, people are going to be curious.

you are grasping at straws. Belgium backed down on the ratification vote. The deal was actually signed by the harper clan. All she did was have a hissy fit and walk out of the meeting, As for free trade, Free trade with Japan is very similar to free trade with China in that it puts our enterprises out of business. 1 for 3 plus you were taking bows for a failed agreement, that lack of attention to detail isn't like you at all. (sarcasm)

Which, if she didn't do, the deal would have been dead. If it was signed by Harper and nothing else needed to be done, then it wouldn't have mattered what the belgians did. Score one for Freeland.
Only you would deem free trade with Australia, Japan, , Singapore, and the United Kingdom as a bad thing. Tell you what, you point to a credible source showing CPTPP is a bad thing and I'll give it a read. Till then...
Fixed.
Now that this exhausting conversation that is going nowhere fast is concluded I bid you adieu
Why do you think this has set up a battle at SCC? Collective bargaining rights are all from section 2 of the Charter, which can be completely subject to the Notwithstanding Clause. The teachers would need a different grounds on which to challenge the law if they want it to go to court. And it wouldn’t be at SCC any time soon; it would start at Alberta Court of King’s Bench, then Alberta Court of Appeal. But that assumes there’s something live to actually go through court.

A little Roar from the past?
That's weird. The Global Citizen NOW conference was held in New York on April 27, 2023. Why try and obscure it from the public record?
Completely unrelated, 2.7km's away Katy Perry appears to have performed at the grand reopening of the Tiffany & Co. flagship store, "The Landmark," in New York City on April 27, 2023. She was a headlining performer, singing hits like "I Kissed a Girl,".

Holding companies are not unusual. Contracts with companies are not unusual. Contracts with holding companies are not unusual.
A bigger scandal would be changing the name on a contract released to the public.

If you're insinuating what I think you are, then all I can say is, on a personal level, it worked out really well for the former PM.

I'm thinking Ms Perry was also staying at the InterContinental New York Barclay hotel where she accidentally bumped into Trudeau and gave him musician advice for his son who is an aspiring rapper.

I wonder if people who dug in and refused to give up working from home despite being directed to do so are worried.
I have no doubt that the sacrifices will include program cuts and I would not be surprised to see something with OAS.
Or, maybe national service is the sacrifice…
Either way Tuesday will be telling.
