The use of NAFTA's Chapter 11 to put medicare out of business -- more accurately, to make it a for-profit, private, and likely American, business -- has long been feared by medicare's supporters. They have never believed government assurances that NAFTA grandfathered medicare beyond the reach of foreign insurance companies and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) seeking to replace it with U.S. private for-profit medicine. [Eric Peterson] says government guarantees about medicare's security may have been valid "at least as (our health care system) stood in 1994 when NAFTA came into force... What's less clear, however, is whether the growing flirtation by various provinces with greater private financing and delivery of certain forms of health care is eroding Canada's legal defences......

Canadians and Mexicans and Americans should all support the NAFTA renegotiation proposed by Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The U.S. senators want to strengthen NAFTA's labour and environmental standards. But most importantly, they want to abolish NAFTA's nefarious Chapter 11 which allows private capital to trump democratic government. NAFTA is "very much a relic of the Roaring Nineties," says Scott Sinclair, director of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives' trade and investment research project. "That's another era now and it's just not an appropriate framework for managing the problems of the early 21st century. There is a growing recognition we need active democratic governments to protect the environment on issues like climate change and t...

Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.

Les données démographiques, le climat et l'économie de la Vallée sont analysés et sa ligne de partage des eaux étudiée dans le but de mieux choisir le site d'extraction. La ville de Brownsville au Texas est le marché hypothétique retenu. Un plan contenant un devis estimatif est proposé. Pour exporter l'eau, on se servira de grands transporteurs de brut (VLCC).
