Canada’s first NAFTA win over UPS could give hope to all people struggling for sovereignty, self-determination and economic justice.
On June 14, 2007, Canada won its first NAFTA decision in the seven-year old UPS case. UPS sued Canada Post for $250 million and tried to stylize public service as a monopolistic infraction.
If UPS had won, that would have meant countries couldn’t provide public services. Corporations would have the legal power to undermine state sovereignty and convert public assets into private wealth.
