Justlied Truedope sabotages Trans-Pacific Partnership, shocking leaders
http://amp.smh.com.au/world/canadas-...10-gzj866.html
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sabotaged a pact to salvage a multibillion-dollar, 11-nation Pacific Rim trade deal at the last minute, surprising leaders of the other nations, including Australia's Malcolm Turnbull.
Mr Trudeau failed to show up at a meeting late on Friday that was set to officially revive the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement that had been negotiated on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in the Vietnamese coastal city of Danang.
...
Mr Turnbull said the pact would bring together economies with a collective GDP of about $US10 trillion.
"So that is a huge market," he said.
Mr Trudeau's walk-out is deeply embarrassing for Canada's Trade Minister Franois-Philippe Champagne, who has agreed to the deal.
...
"There were a lot of unhappy leaders left sitting there," said an official who was in the meeting.
But Mr Trudeau raised issues at the last minute that forced Japan's Prime Minister Shino Abe, who is chair of the gathering, to announce the meeting had to be abandoned.
The national embarrassment doesn't show up in Ottawa for the 100th anniversary of Passchendaele and 150th of Canada on Remembrance day and then skips out on the world leaders waiting for him and in so doing pisses off a 10 other countries many of whom had their leaders there. Someone once said he isn't incompetent, he is a saboteur .... I am thinking they are right! I mean it was an agreed to and approved deal and yet he just doesn't show up?????? Skipping on the PM's of Japan AND Australia and ??? So did Gerald Butts just call him and tell him not to go or is he so clueless about the agreement or did he want to add virtue signalling items to it too or is it because it might compete with his loved Chinese dictatorship ... but definitely #NotrealPM heck to not even show up ... #NotRealMan

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe entered the room to announce the signing was off because Mr Trudeau would not attend.
An official familiar with the process summarised the frustration of all leaders in the room, who represent economies with a combined $12 trillion in GDP.
"The Canadians screwed everybody," he said.
