The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a trade deal that would make it easier for Canadian companies to sell their goods and services in the U.S., Mexico, Australia and eight other Pacific Rim countries. The deal will benefit Canadian service companies who will be able to open up operations in Asian and South American countries. Opponents argue that this bill will incentivize Canadian companies to move service and manufacturing jobs overseas. Proponents argue that it would make Canadian companies more successful at selling their goods and services in Pacific Rim countries, leading to a stronger economy, more jobs and higher incomes for Canadian workers.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
@9JLF2GL10mos10MO
a trade treaty is a good idea but this will incentivize companies to move jobs out of the country so if moving jobs outside a country is prevented in some way then yes.
@9FM9QN91yr1Y
Yes, this might lead to economic growth.
@9C8YBHH1yr1Y
Yes, as long as said oversea country also gets a part of the profit
@962KL2Y2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as an industrial policy can be implemented
@99SZPFK2yrs2Y
Yes, if they use more environmentally friendly alternatives to fuel the shipping process
@99SFZCX2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as the shipping is eco-friendly
@98F2D7F2yrs2Y
Depends...jobs and production facilities should not go offshore unless no practical alternative. Must be able to carbon tax imports.
@9CGBPXC1yr1Y
Don't have a preference.
@937NK832yrs2Y
Only if servicing and manufacturing remain domesticated including any profits

@8CG85VWLibertarian4yrs4Y
Cut all trade ties with Communist China as soon as practical. All other TPP members are okay.
@8C5KS8Q4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should avoid importing what we can easily produce here in Canada (grain, beef, oil for example)
@8KX67Q94yrs4Y
No, I support a unilateral free trade policy, but if the TPP must exist, I suggest we renegotiate it.
@78S5M874yrs4Y
We should be peaceful to everyone and trade with anyone.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, but incentivize companies to keep service and manufacturing in the U.S.
Deleted2yrs2Y
I’m uneducated on this issue.
@8KLLCKT4yrs4Y
Don’t know enough on this topic
@8WFV28T3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should be one line that says there are no trade restrictions between any nations in the TPP
@29G823T4yrs4Y
Favor free trade in principle as beneficial, but dislike increasing intellectual property law guarantees.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
No, this will incentivize companies to move jobs out of the country, plus there are too many hidden provisions in this specific agreement
