The European Union and Canada signed a free trade agreement that aims to generate jobs and growth though it must still clear some 40 national and regional parliaments in Europe in the coming years to enter fully into force.

What are Some of the Other HIDDEN LIABILITIES that the GLOBAL CORPORATE ECONOMY is SHIFTING to the 'harmless' TAXPAYERS & NON-SHAREHOLDERS?

Do CORPORATE CANADA (EAST - TRUDEAU) & CORPORATE EUROPE Need the TAXPAYERS to FORGET that the CETA (EU- Canada) is the BACKDOOR for U.S. with its BRANCH PLANTS in CANADA, the EU, et al?

During the 1980's the U.S. government declared that its Branch Plants in other countries would No Longer be 'Good Corporate Citizens of the Host Countries'. That is to say; if the U.S. wants to punish another country by an embargo, or, pressure another country for its business 'friends' in 3rd party countries, then, not only will American companies in the U.S. be not able to sell to the punished country, but, American Branch plants in Canada, Europe, et al, will also not be able to sell to the punished, or, pressured nation. Therefore, thousand upon thousands of workers in Canada, the EU, et al, would be thrown out of work to satisfy the capriciousness of 'American' foreign policy.

There will be holdouts until Juncker (if he is still above ground and President) bribes them or blackmails them to sign.

And the Remoaners want to keep a single market and all the immigration that goes with it.

Hard Brexit or a general election (having repealed the LibDem Faustian Pact).

The Unmighty EU will almost certainly screw it up,
Red tape , incompetence , corruption ,
And yet again this year the EU has failed to be signed off.

Still, lets await and see if it all unravels.
