ACTION ALERT: Sign the CETA petition - Stop the Canada-EU trade negotiations
Petition HereCanada and the European Union have nearly completed negotiations on a sweeping trade deal called the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) but still Canadians and their elected representatives have had no say on what the proposed deal should look like -- or whether we should be negotiating at all. Leaked copies of the negotiating text and public statements about the deal make it clear that CETA offers little to Canadians while posing far too many unnecessary risks to our social services, environment, public water and democracy. It's time to put a stop to the CETA negotiations until public consultations can take place.
