Berlin Protests the TPP

#StopTTIP: Hundreds of Thousands Protest Trade Deal with US in Berlin

Critics say deal will benefit large corporations at the expense of average Europeans

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is meant to improve trade between the US and the EU, bringing tens of billions of dollars in extra profits to businesses.
Critics fear that it would lead to worse safeguards in Europe, bringing down standards for consumer safety, food and health or labor rights down to those in America. European nations have stricter regulations for things like genetically modified foods or workers benefits than the US does. There is also discontent with the secretive nature of the negotiations, which prompts skeptics to assume the worst about the document they would eventually produce.


This TPP, may be the deciding factor about the Canadian election as well to take place next Monday, the 19th of October.
