Green Party Releases International Joint Statement Criticizing the TPP 76

Dangerous_Minds writes "The New Zealand, Australian, and Canadian Green Parties have released a joint statement on the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP). Among the concerns are the secretive nature of the talks and 'could hinder access to safe, affordable medicines, weaken local content rules for media, stifle high-tech innovation, and even restrict the ability of future governments to legislate for the good of public health and the environment.' ZeroPaid also notes that the statement is starting to appear in New Zealand and Australian media."

    Reasons to hate the TPP:

    "latest attempt by the US at legislative colonisation of sovereign countries' IP laws."

    Reasons to love the TPP:

    Stick it to neo-religious enviro-nazi "green" hippy fanatics.
