   Why won't Harper release TPP agreement ?

   I think we know why . . . . there are details in it that would *fry* any   
   chances for their re-election and likely put them on a hot seat that Harper   
   could not withstand. And you can bet the lizard of Oz has told them to delay,   
   delay, delay  until the    
   election is over.   
      
   Secret negotiations that will affect each and every person in Canada - and now   
   the purposeful hiding of the results of those secret negotiations.   
      
   Demand they release the TPP text, or else ask Hillary Clinton to send us a   
   copy from the U.S.     (=^.^=)

   The NDP is stepping up its offensive against the Trans-Pacific Partnership.The   
   ad, which started running on Sunday, criticizes the 12-nation trade deal for   
   including countries where the "wages are low" and "environmental laws are   
   weak."   
      
   It also points to Doctors Without Borders' disapproval of the agreement with   
   an argument it will "drive up" the price of prescription drugs, and claims   
   that it will also "drive down wages."   
      
   The ad also takes aim at Conservative Leader Stephen Harper for negotiating   
   the deal "in secret" and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau for not being "clear"   
   in his position.   
      
   NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has emphasized that his party does not support the   
   trade deal in its current form.   
      
   At a campaign rally on Vancouver Island on Sunday, Mulcair said the NDP "will   
   not be bound by Harper's secret deals" and will "fight for a better deal for   
   Canadians."   
      
   "Harper won't release the full details of it, and if he's so proud of it, why   
   won't he show it to Canadians?" said Mulcair.   
      
   The full text of the agreement has yet to be released, but Mulcair says he's   
   seen enough in his briefings to predict it will cause drug costs to go up,   
   wages to go down, jobs to be lost and it could be "devastating for the   
   environment."   
      
   In an appearance on CTV's Question Period Sunday, also expressed concern about   
   the implications for Canada's auto and dairy sectors, and commended U.S.   
   Democratic presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton, for opposing the agreement.   
      
   "We would never put that deal before Parliament. We would try to get a better   
   deal, the same way Hillary Clinton says that she doesn't like the deal that's   
   been negotiated for American working families, I don't like the deal that's   
   been negotiated,"    
   Mulcair said.   
      
   "And you can understand if Hillary Clinton finds it's a bad deal for American   
   families, you can imagine how bad it is for Canadian working families, because   
   we got a worse deal than the Americans did on auto," he added.   
      
   The NDP has seen their support plummet in the past several weeks, dropping to   
   third place behind the Conservatives and the Liberals, according to the latest   
   polling.   
      
   However, the TPP could act as a wedge issue, especially in B.C. where the   
   trade deal could have the most perceptible effects. Countless goods departing   
   to and incoming from newly opened markets in the Pacific Rim will pass through   
   the province's ports.   
      
   B.C.'s forest and technology sectors could also be affected by the deal, which   
   Mulcair highlighted in his rally speech in Vancouver on Sunday.
