The biggest threat to indigenous trade import or export is Canada itself. Despite having treaties that guarantee the right to trade and our own self-governing and aboriginal rights to trade, Canada has made things like gaming and tobacco criminal acts. It does not recognize the Jay Treaty and our right to cross and work over the border, as the United States does. Many of our people are in jail or suffer fines from the Canada Revenue Agency in the hundreds of millions of dollars because of the crackdown on our own right just to maintain economies, let alone trade. Oftentimes we are prohibited or monitored when we do any international trade scenarios.
This isn't a process. We can't save the TPP. We are not in negotiations. It is a done deal. It has already violated the Constitution. It already violates our rights. It cannot be fixed. The worst and biggest threat to us.... We already have transnational corporations and domestic ones destroying our territories. Imagine allowing more international ones into our territories when we can't even sustain ourselves or protect our territories.
