CETA Deception

Studies have shown that CETA will result in substantial 
job losses by increasing Canada’s existing trade deficit 
with EU countries while reinforcing an imbalanced trade 
relationship where we export raw resources to the EU 
and import high-value manufactured goods.

Marcus Tullius Cicero Quote

  





A nation can survive its fools and even 
the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason 
from within. An enemy at the gates is less 
formidable, for he is known and he carries his 
banners openly against the city.
But the traitor moves among those within the 
gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through 
all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears no traitor; 
he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, 
and he wears their face and their garments and 
he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the 
hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly 
and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars 
of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can 
no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. 
The traitor is the plague.

The human right to water and sanitation

On 28 July 2010, through Resolution 64/292, the United Nations General Assembly explicitly recognized the human right to water and sanitation and acknowledged that clean drinking water and sanitation are essential to the realisation of all human rights.

The human right to water is indispensable for leading a life in human dignity. It is a prerequisite for the realization of other human rights.

The right to water defined as the right of everyone to sufficient, safe, acceptable and physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses.
