10 tips on how to profit from the CPTPP
March 8 marked the one-year anniversary of the signing of Canada's newest free trade agreement: the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP)-that eliminates most tariffs across all sectors. But it took several months to implement, and by October 2018, only six-Canada, Australia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Singapore-of the 11 participating nations had ratified the deal, enabling its implementation on December 30, 2018. Vietnam followed in January 2019, and the remaining signatories-Chile, Malaysia, Peru and Brunei-will fall in line as their governments ink the deal in their parliaments.
Once it's fully in force, Canada will have access to 495 million consumers. That number may well grow since Colombia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea and the United Kingdom have expressed interest in joining.

AD Snacks
Imagine a product that requires no advertising, very little marketing, and no overhead costs. It's a golden nugget, it is the product that sells itself. And that's exactly what Peter and Angela Joyce's customers claim about their pepperoni.
"It came organically. Our customers said to us 'you don't have to sell this, just let people taste it. The product sells itself'. So we trademarked 'the taste that sells itself'.", explains Peter when describing how they came up with their pepperoni's brand.
