Yay Wallons!

Good to see this treaty dead (for now). And TTIP with it.

If anything, Americans and Canadians should adopt our strict standards and not we the crappy American ones ...

And if the Wallons didn't block it, it would likely have been blocked by a President VdB or Hofer early next year.

It remains to be seen if Austria's Parliament ratifies CETA before the New Year or not.

If they do it before New Year, it will likely be ratified.

But if they are not doing it, there's a chance CETA will still be blocked because it needs the signature of the President and if Hofer wins on Dec. 4 he won't sign it (VdB is opposed to CETA as well, but he'll likely sign it anyway).
