"A NAFTA tribunal held Canada liable for rejecting a bid by Bilcon to build a gravel quarry in the
ecologically sensitive coastal area of Digby Neck, N.S. It is estimated that Canada would have to pay
more than $500 million, just for protecting the environment in accordance with Canadian law." THIS IS WHAT FREE TRADE LOOKS LIKE, FOLKS! This is what Justin Trudeau et al are fighting hard to PRESERVE!
