Harpers Conservatives have declared all out war on the environment in true 1984 Orwellian style by, first dissembling scientific opposition by cutting departments, withdrawing grant funding, and destruction of scientific reports. These actions were followed by the Harper government’s approval of Enbridge’s $7.9-billion Northern Gateway pipeline through sensitive environments and First Nation lands. As a coup detat on the environment and any opposition, Harper is now fully engaged in cementing Canadas position in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The TPP, negotiated behind closed doors, has been described as being the demon child of NAFTA, as it prioritizes the financial requirements of multinational corporations over any countries requirements, regulations or laws enacted to protect their environment and population. Under the TPP, the multinational corporations will have the ability to sue offending countries for upholding such safeguards that interfere with profit margins.
