All out against the TPP: Vancouver edition

Shortly after election night, we received the news that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was on rocky ground in the United States. As much as most of us were ready to bounce off the walls in face of such a major victory for the people, it didn't seem quite right to declare confidently that the agreement was "dead" just yet.

The truth is that, yes -- the TPP faced a major defeat with the loss of the U.S. support and the statements senior government officials that they would not pursue a vote in the lame duck session of Congress.
