Well, if it's a bad agreement, it wouldn't be foolish to sit it out. The problem is that it affects different people/industries differently. If copyright and internet privacy is important to you, then you might find it a very bad agreement. If you're a dairy farmer, it might be very good.

Interesting discussion about the weeds of the TPP were on yesterday's Canadaland podcast in a discussion with Michael Geist. Certainly worth listening to. Link here.
