Campbell Setting Precedent For Giving Away Canada Under NAFTA

Wendy Holm from The Holm Team Has written a very informative piece for the website Save Our Rivers

"It is a commonly held belief that the greatest risks to Canada’s water resources under NAFTA are related to exports. In fact, the more immediate area of public policy concern is not water exports but water use in Canada by firms that are American or have US investors.

Private sector firms issued water licenses by government – be it for hydroelectric generation or for snowmaking – hold NAFTA rights far superior to any rights held by Canadians if those firms are American or have American investors."

For anyone who thinks that Campbell is not giving away our province and setting a precident for the whole country this is a must read. Including the FatCat PAB
