Harper doesn’t want Canadians to know. We’re going to tell them.
It’s now confirmed that out of the blue, the Harper Conservatives have just ratified the secretive and extreme China-Canada FIPA, a move that threatens to lock our democracy into a binding investors’ deal for at least 31 years.
Harper is trying to sneak this under the radar -- making a quiet announcement on a Friday afternoon -- because he knows FIPA is deeply unpopular with people across the country, including his own MPs, Conservative donors, and swing voters he needs in the 2015 election.
Canadians deserve to know, and if Harper won’t tell them, we will.

Harper's Sneaky, Undemocratic, Terrible Deal with China
"Ottawa capitulated to China on everything. The deal, using a hockey metaphor, allows only a select few to play on Team Canada on a small patch of ice in China and to be fouled, without remedies or referees. By contrast, Team China can play anywhere on Canadian ice, can appeal referee calls it dislikes and negotiate compensation for damages while in the penalty box behind closed doors.
"The terms agreed to by Ottawa are unprecedented and would be laughed out of Britain, Brussels, Canberra or Washington. Beijing has negotiated a heads-I-win-tails-Canada-loses deal." ~ Diane Francis
