> contains “troubling” rules on intellectual property that threaten to make Canada a “permanent underclass” in the economy of selling ideas

Why?

> He fears it would give American firms an edge and cost Canadian companies more money because they would have to pay for someone else’s ideas instead their own.

What?

> On top of that, Balsillie believes the structure could prevent Canadian firms from growing as it would also limit how much money they can make from their own products and services.

Again why?

I don't think this article ever specifically explains why TPP is bad for Canada.
