    TPP to be signed

    TPP signing ceremony takes place in Auckland
    New Zealand’s government is due to host the signing ceremony of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement in Auckland on Thursday, February 4, at 11:30 local time (Wednesday, February 3, at 22:30 GMT).

    The agreement will be validated by the trade ministers of the twelve partner countries - Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the US and Vietnam.

    Several demonstrations are expected to take place in the streets of Auckland to protest against the signing of the TPP agreement. The Trans Pacific Partnership has triggered global opposition, especially due to the intellectual property chapter on topics such as drug patent security and digital data protection.




    The "standoff" in Oregon and the zika virus scare sure took people's attention away from tpp.

    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

    It still needs to clear Congress. No doubt all of the so called conservative Republicans we have elected will vote to export jobs along with the Dimocrats.

    I think it was a done deal when congress shirked its duty and fast tracked it into 0bamas court.
