For now CETA has not approved or pushed forward the investor dispute resolution mechanism that trump local judicial and legislative systems. However, those undemocratic clauses still exist. Until they are completely removed from all CeTA treaties/clauses/articles/subclauses/addenda, I for one remain wary.


To add: I think we should sign free trade with as many countries as possible without such undemocratic investor dispute clauses and with sliding tariffs. These sliding tariffs would adjust according to how equivalent a country's labour, environmental, regulatory and health and safety laws are to Canada's. These countries would also be allowed under such free trade agreements to impose tariffs on canadian goods if they pass said laws/regulations that are tougher or more progressive than ours.
