The following news articles will, I hope, raise alarm bells regarding the extraordinary impact the TILMA Agreement (an agreement drafted in secret by corporations and the B.C. and Alberta governments) will have on citizens. It is my hope that we can join together to put a stop to this very serious attack on our rights as citizens to make public policy. Keep in mind too, that those who drafted this agreement were hard-pressed to come up with any tangible restrictions to trade. And certainly the very few they did find in no way warrant this agreement.
