thanks for the view from your neck of the woods. Btw, left wing dems here in Congress don't support it at all. In fact, the vast majority don't support it. The last count I've heard in the House, is 20 dems have said they'll support it. In the Senate, it's easier going, but I doubt more than 10 will support it.

The worst thing about that PM ISDS case is the chilling effect that it (and the ISDS case by PM against Uruguay) has had on other countries re their proposed similar labeling laws.
