As for this specifically, look into the patent and copy-write issues if you want to see where Canadians are going to get screwed hard on the TPP. You can start with anything Micheal Geist writes. Get informed.

Harper committed to buying off dairy farmers for several billion dollars. That should tell you enough about it that our tax dollars have to placate our industry, at least temporarily, how good it will be for us. And what happens when that money is gone and our industry is suffering?

Well you don't really understand "NAFTA" considering most of the #### you order online is purchased from the U.S. but manufactured overseas. If you bought something that was "made in the USA" you wouldn't pay any duty. You pay GST.
