Killing Toxic Trade Deals: CETA

On Monday 16 May War on Want will host a public meeting in the Great Hall at King's College London with a fantastic line up of speakers including Maude Barlow, renowned trade expert and Chairperson of the Council of Canadians, Leader of the Green Party, Natalie Bennett, our very own executive director John Hilary, and Nick Crook, head of the international department at UNISON.

The meeting will focus on toxic EU-Canada trade deal, CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement), which is due to be signed off later this year before heading for ratification in the European Parliament.

CETA had no input from MPs or the public and is a massive threat to public services and democracy – under CETA, big business, including US corporations with offices in Canada, will be able sue the government for policies that affect their profits.
