Milos Barutciski and Matthew Kronby,
part two
From: Sold Down the Yangtze
$0.70
The key claim in Barutciski and Kronby’s Globe and Mail article
was that the FIPA would benefit Canada.
When they made this claim, I suggest that Barutciski and
Kronby should have identified and addressed criticisms of the
deal: its lopsidedness, its allowances of secrecy, its transfer of
powers from judges to arbitrators, its risks for voters and taxpayers
