"We've been outfoxed": Jim Balsillie fears TPP will become worst-ever policy move
Jim Balsillie of BlackBerry fame has come out against the TPP. From the CBC article:
"Jim Balsillie warns that provisions tucked into the Trans-Pacific Partnership could cost Canada hundreds of billions of dollars — and eventually make signing it the worst public policy decision in the country's history.
After poring over the treaty's final text, the businessman who helped build Research In Motion into a $20-billion global player said the deal contains "troubling" rules on intellectual property that threaten to make Canada a "permanent underclass" in the economy of selling ideas."
