Canada-Colombia Free Trade Pact

The Governments of Canada and Colombia got it signed, on the sidelines at APEC PERU 2008. Upon ratification, tariffs start downward with the end-goal being reached 10 years thereafter.

At least S. Harper's administration has a reasonable chance of getting ratification. Would that the U.S.-Colombia FTA was given such a chance.

As long as the unions have a say (and they do) this won't get done, unless Congress and the new administration have a sudden epiphany!

Now Marie's comment was funny-- the epiphany....

Well, I am glad Canada is in it with Colombia!!!
