UPDATE: We're planning to deliver your petitions directly to Harper and his trade representatives but we need your help to grow the petition and get it over 100,000 names first. The more names on the petition, the more powerful our message will be.

Stephen Harper is hastily negotiating a top secret global pact that would give corporations the right to sue Canadian governments for billions -- just for passing laws that protect our health and the environment.

Harper wants us to believe that the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is all about getting a better deal for Canadians, but the truth is the pact could end up being one of the biggest corporate power grabs in a generation.

The TPP puts profits ahead of environmental protection and police our everyday use of the internet is in trouble, but people are starting to realize that this deal is bad for Canadians. Together, we're starting to win. Trade experts and analysts around the world are saying the talks are in trouble.

We're planning to deliver your petitions directly to Harper and his trade representatives but we need your help to grow the petition and get it over 100,000 names first. The more names on the petition, the more powerful our message will be -- and the harder to ignore. Can you add your name now so they hear our message loud and clear?
