Canada's secret constitution

NAFTA, the WTO, and the end of sovereignty?

Canada's sovereignty has been undermined by the international agreements the federal government has entered into with the World Trade Organization (WTO), and with the United States and Mexico in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)--so much so that these agreements in effect now constitute "Canada's Secret Constitution."

This is the main thrust of Stephen Clarkson's monograph Canada's Secret Constitution: NAFTA, WTO and the End of Sovereignty? published today by the CCPA which is an adapted version of the core chapter of his newly released book Uncle Sam and Us.

“We need the CCPA to remind us that our dreams of a decent, egalitarian society are reasonable — indeed that with a little work, they are practical.  And I love that practicality, that protection of the dream of the possible.”
