     CUP) — The Canada-U.S. 
     
     ree trade agreement signed 
     
     )ctober 3 means university 
     
     ducation in the two coun- 
     
     ries will eventually become 
     
     tandardized, says an oppo- 
     
     ent to the deal. . 
     
    

    
     University of Ottawa 
     
     litical science professor 
     
     nd Council of Canadians 
     
     olicy Chair John Trent 
     
     aid that since the agree- 
     
     aent helps more Canadian 
     
     rofessionals enter the U.S. 
     
     ervice industry, the result 
     
     nll be a trend toward the 
     
     harmonization™ of quali- 
     
     cation examinations, po- 
     
     entially resulting in a com- 
     
     ion education system. 
     
    

    
     Trent 
     
     aid a recent agreement be- 
     
     ween the Royal Architec- 
     
     ure Society in Canada and 
     
     s American counterpart 
     
     aat standardizes profes- 
     
     onal requirements in the 
     
     «ce countries will likely be 
     
     choed in other fields, like 
     
     iedicine and engineering. 
     
    
   
   
    
     And while he admits 
     
     it has some fine architects, 
     
     Trent said with its small 
     
     population relative to the 
     
     U.S., Canada will not be 
     
     the one that determines the 
     
     standards. 
     
    
   
   
    
     One of the few sectors 
     
    
   
   
    
     in which the U.S. has a 
     
     trade surplus is the service 
     
    
   
   
    
     industry and Canada is a 
     
     prime target for expansion, 
     
     Trent said. _ 
     
    

    
     Once the merging of 
     
     Canadian and U.S. pro- 
     
     fessional is complete, he 
     
     said it won't be long be- 
     
     fore the two countries share 
     
     labour unions and, eventu- 
     
     ally, crime rates. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ~The 
     
     we face is the Americaniza- 
     
     tion of Canada,” Trent said. 
     
     * We're opening the door to 
     
     the importation of Ameri- 
     
    
   
   
    
     danger 
     
    
   
   
    
     can standards and culture.” 
     
    
   
   
    
     Trent is a spokesperson: 
     
    
   
   
    
     for the Pro-Canada Net- 
     
     work, an umbrella group 
     
     of opponents to free trade 
     
    
   
   
    
     started last March, which 
     
     claims a total membership 
     
     of 10 million. 
     
    
   
   
    
     It comprises 15 trade 
     
     organizations, including the 
     
     Assembly of First Nations, 
     
     the Cana- 
     
     dian Labour Congress, the 
     
     Church Coalition for Eco- 
     
     nomic Justice, the Cana- 
     
     dian Teachers’ Federation 
     
     and the National Farmers’ 
     
     Union. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The goal of Pro-Canada 
     
     Network, Trent said, is 
     
     to turn Canadian public 
     
     opinion against the _ free 
     
     trade deal, which it believes 
     
    
   
   
    
     will mean the large- scale: 
     
    
   
   
    
     loss of Canadian jobs and 
     
     sovereignty. 
     
    

    
     Funded by a $1.5 mil- 
     
     lion grant from the Cana- 
     
     dian Labour Congress, the 
     
     organization holds debates 
     
     and advertizes in the media 
     
     to get its message across to
