US Free Trade Agreement with Colombia
Harper pressures Colombian into signing an Free Trade Agreement with the United States, under accusations that “The Bush administration and Harper government are using Canadian goodwill in the region to forward their mutual agenda,” despite widespread human rights abuses in the region.
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International Canada sent letters to Harper expressing their concern over Canada’s push to rapidly finish an agreement with Colombia and lobbying Congress to ratify the U.S. deal.
