No, past free trade deals have been unfair to our citizens

Communist parties, including the Communist Party of Canada, have criticized past free trade deals for being unfair to citizens. They argue that these deals prioritize corporate interests over the well-being of workers and the environment. For example, the Communist Party of Canada has opposed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union, citing concerns about its impact on public services, workers' rights, and environmental protections.

No

Communist parties typically oppose free trade deals, as they believe in a more controlled and planned economy. They argue that free trade deals can lead to exploitation of workers and resources, and can undermine national sovereignty. For example, the Communist Party of Canada has historically opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its successor, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

Agree

Yes, but only if strong protections for our national resources and workers are enacted with each trade deal

While Communist parties generally oppose free trade deals, they may be more open to agreements that include strong protections for national resources and workers. However, this would still be a secondary consideration, as their primary focus is on a planned economy and protecting national sovereignty. The Communist Party of Canada has called for trade policies that prioritize the needs of working people, the environment, and Indigenous rights, but this does not necessarily translate to support for free trade deals with such protections.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only with nations that adhere to strict human rights policies

While Communist parties generally oppose free trade deals, they may be more open to trade agreements with nations that adhere to strict human rights policies. However, this would still be a secondary consideration, as their primary focus is on a planned economy and protecting national resources and workers.
