Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Harper literally selling out the farm, Referendum

Hello Looter Party supporters.
I previously sent you information about the serious
issues with the TPP (see below).
Harper is literally selling out the farm.
In the National Post, June 27, 2015, page A13, Letters to the
Editor, a dairy farmer in British Columbia, Julaine Treur of
Agassiz B.C., mentioned that she and her husband own and operate
an average size dairy farm, and that they were concerned that the
trade talks could wipe them out because they could not compete
with companies that do not have to meet Canadian standards
(safety, environment and animal welfare).
This is a valid concern, food products have to meet Canadian
standards and this could affect not only thousands of small
Canadian businesses but the health and safety of the Canadian
food supply, which is the health and safety of Canadians.
It seems the politicians are too busy blindly following their
“trade agenda” and not smart enough to understand the
details and the issue of Canadian health and safety standards.
He is selling out Canadian farms and small business to companies
that do not have to meet Canadian standards. And, endangering the
health and safety of Canadians.
And the other political parties are also not smart enough, they
should have brought up these points.
These people talk about helping small business and well paying
long term jobs while they sell out Canadians businesses and jobs
(also see below with flood of foreign workers).
We have to get better and smarter politicians, not these silly
simple people that do not have the brains to think beyond a
simple point.
Referendum.
I also point out that as the email below points out that the TPP
affects Canadian borders and sovereignty and laws, that this is
fundamentally changing the way Canadians are governed.
Therefore this should be placed before the people, with the
consequences and implications openly (details are being kept
hidden) and fully discussed with a Referendum.
Therefore I, and the Looter Party, demand a Referendum if they
want to agree to the TPP.

Previous email:
With trade, please look at ALL the implications, like multiple
issues, flooding the country with foreign workers displacing
Canadians (see excerpts from “The real fast-track
threat” below), giving away Canadian sovereignty and control
of the border and laws, and putting Canadians out of business
because foreign companies do not have to meet the same health,
safety, environment, animal welfare, etc. Canadian standards, and
the resulting concern of health and safety of Canadians.
Explained in detail below.
These so-called "trade" simpleton politicians have to
understand all the issues.
I and the Looter Party have major concerns with the Trans-Pacific
Partnership (a trade agreement involving Canada, US, Mexico,
Vietnam, Japan, etc.).
There is free trade and fair trade, many issues are not being
discussed, currency manipulation, environment laws, worker safety
laws, etc. These requires people who have the ability to think
beyond the simple and their own concerns and understand the
details. [I also add] People have to understand that health and
safety standards are different in third world countries. Do
people not remember pet food being imported into Canada that
killed a bunch of pets?
And, there are other serious economic implication issues
that are not being discussed:
- Flooding the country with foreign workers displacing Canadians
(see excerpts from “The real fast-track threat” below).
Possibly millions.
- Giving away Canadian sovereignty and control of the border and
laws.
- Jobs being exported out, moved to other countries, like what is
happening in the auto industry in Ontario.
- Wiping out Canadian small businesses that cannot compete
because other companies do not have to meet Canadian standards.
Also a danger to the health and safety of Canadians. See the
selling out the farm point above.
Flooding the country with foreign workers, etc.
With flooding the country with foreign workers, with no checking
if Canadians (he uses American, but it would be the same here)
available, credentials, skill levels, etc., article “Dick
Morris: The real fast-track threat, by Dick Morris -
06/16/15” at:
http://thehill.com/opinion/dick-morris/245179-dick-morris-the-real-fast-track-threat
Some excerpts:
An article by Daniel Costa and Ron Hira of the Economic Policy Institute wades through the pages of TISA documents posted on WikiLeaks to find provisions on open immigration. Article 4, concerning “Entry and Temporary Stay of Natural Persons,” states signatories “shall not maintain or adopt Economic Needs Tests, including labor market tests, as a requirement for a visa or work permit.” Costa and Hira explain: “In other words, U.S. laws or regulations limiting guestworkers only to jobs where no U.S. workers were available would violate the terms of the treaty.”
Article 5 goes further, proposing that member nations “shall take market access and national treatment commitments for intra-corporate transferees, business visitors, and ... contractual service suppliers and independent professionals.” The draft then goes on to require signatories to “allow entry and temporary stay of [contractual service suppliers and independent professionals]” in a long list of specific fields.[I also add] Costa and Hira point out that "foreign firms would not be required to advertise jobs to U.S. workers, or to hire U.S. workers if they were equally or better qualified for job openings in their own country." They note that the treaty means that "potentially hundreds of thousands of workers could enter the United States every year ... importing cheaper labor to supplant American workers."
Other points:
Dick Morris, has raised other issues and they are discussed in a
video and article at:
http://www.dickmorris.com/the-trade-agreement-fraud-dick-morris-tv-lunch-alert/
Main points are about 1:25 into the video.

I also sent an email to Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade,
in May, and do not have a reply as of yet. The email is below and
includes an article discussing mass immigration.
They are keeping the details of this secret and I cannot get
answers.
Thank you for your support and I would appreciate any comments.

TPP = Mass Immigration
Dick Morris Reports

TPP = Mass Immigration
By DICK MORRIS
Published on TheHill.com on April 21, 2015
Under the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a proposed free-trade
agreement, Congress could lose the power to control immigration
policy. We could find ourselves back in the era before there were
restrictions on immigration and anyone from anywhere could come
to our shores. And Republicans, from leaders Mitch McConnell and
John Boehner on down, are unwittingly helping President Obama
achieve this goal.
The TPP, generally supported by pro-free-trade Republicans but
opposed by labor-union Democrats, reportedly contains a barely
noticed provision that allows for the free migration of labor
among the signatory nations. Patterned after similar provisions
in the treaties establishing the European Union, it would
override national immigration restrictions in the name of
facilitating the free flow of labor.
The draft treaty, now under discussion among 12 Pacific Rim
nations, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Vietnam and Japan,
makes provision for needed labor to move across national
boundaries without restraint. While much of the commentary on the
deal has been focused on high-skill, white-collar migration, it
could easily be interpreted as allowing farm workers and others
to flow back and forth without legal regulation.
In seeking approval of the TPP, the Obama administration has
proposed giving it fast-track authority to conclude trade deals
-- a power that would restrict Congress's ability to amend the
deal, allowing only an up-or-down vote. Led by Republicans, the
Senate is moving toward passage of the fast-track authority as a
precursor to ratification of the TPP treaty, immigration
provisions and all.
Democrats are staging a last-ditch stand against the bill, which
their labor allies condemn as the worst trade deal since the
North American Free Trade Agreement of the 1990s, pointing to the
potential loss of jobs. But Republicans are using their
majorities to grant Obama fast-track authority.
It is odd, indeed, to see Republicans falling all over themselves
to reward this president with more power while voluntarily
reducing congressional oversight. At the very least, one would
assume the TPP would give the GOP-led Congress bargaining power
to force Obama to backtrack on amnesty for illegals and possibly
on ObamaCare. But far from forcing concessions, Republicans are
lining up in support of fast-track and, by implication, the TPP.
Because foreign treaties are the "law of the land,"
according to the U.S. Constitution, any provision governing our
borders and the flow of immigrants could not be overridden or
even modified by Congress. A new president would be able to
reverse Obama's amnesty plan but not the open-border provisions
of the TPP. The treaty could lead to the effective repeal of the
specifically enumerated power granted to Congress in Article I of
the Constitution to regulate immigration and naturalization.
While the treaty is still being negotiated, the current focus on
white-collar immigration would be sufficiently elastic to allow
open borders. For instance, what is white collar compared to blue
collar? Are we going to set an income limit on immigration?
Curtis Ellis, executive director of the American Jobs Alliance,
calls the trade deal "a Trojan horse for Obama's immigration
agenda" on The Hill's Contributor's blog. He notes that
"one corporate trade association says bluntly that 'The TPP
should remove restrictions on nationality or residency
requirements for the selection of personnel.' "
In his seventh and eighth year, every president worries about his
legacy and tries to control events in the future. But here Obama
is enshrining in a treaty -- that cannot be repealed or amended
-- an open-border immigration policy for all time.
Those who say he would never carry the treaty's provisions that
far have only to ask themselves this question: Would Obama extend
his powers to their maximum limit? Of course he would. Don't give
him the power.
