I will add that this nonsense is a deliberate strategy. There are bad-acting lawyers who, after imposing significant expenses, have repeatedly—across many cases—nonsuited during a TPPA hearing, minutes before a TPPA hearing, or the night before a TPPA hearing. Ask me how I know,

Clients have started telling me that they were referred to me by Claude. (“Who?” “Claude.” “I don’t think I know a Claude? Can you tell me Claude’s last name?” “…It’s a bot.” “Oh.”)
So I am now reconsidering all of my skepticism about AI strictly based on that and how much the bot flatters me.

Interesting news. I knew that our former PM was working on trade agreements as well as updating the existing CETA & TPPA. Justin Trudeau continued working for our country even though he had resigned. Not such a terrible person as Poilievre would have Canadians believe.

Another exercise like this will be needed, to repeat Jane Kelsey’s partial victory in her OIA judicial review over access to TPPA documents.

Just working out a setlist for a wee gig & realise I have a ton of songs that are hideously relevant. Treaty, Seashell (anti-seabed mining campaign), Whole World’s Watching ( re TPPA), Give It Up Now (smokefree), Peace Song (anthem for Moriori), AEIOU (reo), Hands Up…
It’s all coming back lol

This is why twatface Seymour's Regulatory Standards Bill must not be allowed to go through. Jane Kelsey warned us about this exact thing when the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) was signed back in 2016 (it wasn't ratified). She is warning us again. #nzpol

that's a bit "no true Scotsman" fallacy though isn't it?
A lot of those people had been actively involved in the anti-war movement, Occupy, MANA, protesting the TPPA etc. Their anti-vax views got a hearing (or at least, a free pass) because to their credit they had done the mahi

CTPPA. But we have TPPA enabling legislation (with an extension to the copyright term and various other US bullshit) on the books, with commencement contingent on the TPPA coming into force. Which will now never happen.
We should repeal it.

The reason why is simple: Plaintiffs can now file SLAPP-suits; impose expenses and see if a defendant retains counsel; and then parachute out of the litigation by nonsuiting before a TPPA hearing, thereby evading all consequences and leaving defendants with unreimbursed expenses.

These MFers came after Pharmac (and the PBS) under the guise of the TPPA and now have “discovered” negotiated pricing?!? Miss me with that
Wait a minute, so it *is* a good thing to have a government agency that can negotiate with drug companies to lower prices for tax-funded medications…huh?
White House says prescription drug deals will produce billions in savings for taxpayers, seniors
Taxpayers are expected to save billions after the Biden administration inked deals with pharmaceutical companies to knock down the list prices for 10 of Medicare’s costliest drugs.

Would have thought that Trumpism would have killed off the remnant anti-free-trade crankery that survived the dire prognostications of the TPPA haters failing to emerge, but here the fuck people are, hating on Indians who want to come here in exchange for our goods & services

Of course, many of us do this work on contingency because we believe in it. That was also viable, since the TPPA assured fee-shifting. No longer. Nobody will defend these cases on a contingent basis anymore. You might see some pro bono representation, but contingent work is dead.

Those unreimbursed expenses can be steep. If you are hiring lawyers who are skilled at defending SLAPP-suits, the cost of reaching a TPPA hearing will range from about $30,000.00 on the low end to literally millions on the high end (as in the recent SmileDirectClub v. NBC case).
