Thread: Sabotage of Canada - The North American Union

The Metamorphosis and the sabotage of Canada by our own government, written in three parts:
written by Connie Fogal, Leader CAP/PAC, November 2005

The North American continent is being transformed from three sovereign nations Canada, USA, Mexico) into one regional corporate power base, the North American Union. Unlike the creation of the European Union, there is no public political/ academic discourse on the merits, or pros and cons of a North American Union building up to a vote within each nation as to the wish of the people to join such a union. Instead the union is being created by stealth, is already well on its way to fruition, and is being imposed on us by our own elected representatives and government with no opposition.

The driving force is corporate. The Chief Executive Officers of the most powerful corporations operating in the three countries want this union and have been working for some time devising their strategies and goals. Their facilitators are first, unelected officials and bureaucrats who move easily between corporations and government; second, former elected officials like John Manley , former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada; third, the heads of the three nations, Martin, Bush, and Fox; and finally, the governments and the rest of the elected members who apparently just rubber stamp what is put in front of them by the unelected officials- few questions, if any asked.

The ultimate enforcement mechanism for the North American Union is a police state.

The tools for the police state are "anti-terrorist" laws which, in themselves, are a ruse to strip the citizens of civil liberties in order to prevent dissent against the police state.

The Orwellian justification is "security", "safety".


Summary and Part 1:The Metamorphosis and Sabotage of Canada by Our Own Government- The North American Union
written by Connie Fogal, Leader CAP/PAC, November 2005

Summary:

The North American continent is being transformed from three sovereign nations (Canada, USA, Mexico) into one regional corporate power base, the North American Union. Unlike the creation of the European Union, there is no public political/ academic discourse on the merits, or pros and cons of a North American Union building up to a vote within each nation as to the wish of the people to join such a union. Instead the union is being created by stealth, is already well on its way to fruition, and is being imposed on us by our own elected representatives and government with no opposition.

The driving forces are corporate and military. The Chief Executive Officers of the most powerful corporations operating in the three countries want this union and have been working for some time devising their strategies and goals. Their facilitators are first, unelected officials and bureaucrats who move easily between corporations and government; second, former elected officials like John Manley , former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada; third, the heads of the three nations, Martin, Bush, and Fox; and finally, the governments and the rest of the elected members who apparently just rubber stamp what is put in front of them by the unelected officials- few questions, if any asked.

The ultimate enforcement mechanism for the North American Union is a police state.

The tools for the police state are "anti-terrorist" laws.

Anti Terrorist laws are a ruse to strip the citizens of civil liberties in order to prevent dissent against the police state.

The Orwellian justification is "security", "safety".

Part one deals with the North American Union of Canada USA and Mexico. It is being created by the corporate side under the North American Task Force, and the military side by the Binational Military Planning group.

Part Two deals with -Laws Arrangements and Agreements all of which throw away our sovereignty, independence, and our civil liberties.

1. The Canada -U.S. Smart Border Declaration with a 30 point action plan signed Dec 12,2001
2. The Public Safety Act, 2002 with despotic powers to certain Cabinet Ministers
3. The Anti Terrorism Act currently under review
4.The North American Security and Prosperity Initiative (NASPI)- a report released January 2003 of the project of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives(CCCE) to develop a strategy for shaping Canada's future within North America and Beyond
5. The Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement signed by Bush and Martin in March of 2005
6. 40 Point Smart Regulation Action Plan
7. The Report of Ministers to the Leaders -SPP- North America June 2005

Part Three deals with the effect of all this bad law, some history, and what to do about it.



The Metamorphosis and Sabotage of Canada by our Own Government

Part 1- North American Union

The Metamorphosis of Canada, USA and Mexico into the North American Union

Canadian patriots have been focusing on the wrong threat- annexation to the U.S.A with no voting rights, only colony status like a Gibraltar. The real plan emerges. The fact is that we are now already metamorphosing into something else- A North American Union comprised of Canada, U.S.A.,and Mexico. The goal is an internally borderless North America rid of the constitutional structures and rules of the separate nations that created and protected the democratic fabric of the respective peoples.

This Union is planned, directed, organized and coordinated by unelected, unaccountable people of the military /industrial complex with a few academic apologists thrown in for good measure. It is being facilitated by all three elected governments. This is the same military/industrial complex that General Eisenhower warned against.

This group is creating a despotic regime for the pursuit of their interest (rapacious greed and power) which is diametrically opposed to the needs and interests of the citizens in all three countries. Their plan is to make all of North America their power base acting in their interest only. Forget the people

The two bodies (one corporate, one military) which have been functioning for some time to create this treasonous union are well advanced in that formation. They are: the Canada-U.S.A-Mexico task force and The Binational Military Planning Group.

1. The corporate side: the Canada-U.S.A-Mexico task force

The Canada-U.S.A-Mexico Task Force is comprised of the leading CEOs of the most powerful corporations from Canada, USA and Mexico, prominent former officials, businessmen, and academic apologists from all three countries. They are: (a.) From U.S.A. - Council on Foreign Relations;
(b). From Mexico- the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales;
(c.) From Canada: Canadian Council of Chief Executives- Founded in 1976, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives is Canada's premier business association composed of the chief executives of 150 leading Canadian enterprises. The CCCE was the Canadian private sector
leader in the development and promotion of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement during the 1980s and of the subsequent trilateral North American Free Trade Agreement.

This task force is currently headed by Canada’s own former Liberal Deputy Prime Minister, John Manley (who allegedly seeks to replace Paul Martin as Prime Minister).

This task force was sanctioned by the three leaders, Prime Minister Martin, President Bush and President Fox, in March of 2005 at a special meeting in Texas at Bush’s ranch at which the three leaders signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.

In practice, the elected governments of the three countries are the willing dupes promulgating laws that impose a police state in order to enforce rules that enable the new regime. Some would call this treason.

(2) The military side: The Binational Military Planning Group-

Founded in late 2002,its mandate is to lay the groundwork for the integration of a Canada -US military command structure, and the militarization of civilian law enforcement, and judicial function in Canada and the USA. Their stated mandate is first to prepare contingency plans to respond to land and sea threats, and attacks, and other major emergencies; and second, to plan for coordinated response for military assistance to civil authorities in the event of threat or attack, and for civil emergency in Canada and the USA.

Neither of the Task Force nor the Military Planning group is accountable to the US Congress, nor to the Canadian House of Commons, nor to the Mexican government, and certainly Not to the citizenry.

1. Let’s focus first on the corporate side, the Canada- USA- Mexico task force.

See: Trilateral Task Force Recommendations

And: Trilateral Commission website

And: Council on Foreign Relations: Trinational call for a North American Economic and Security Community by 2010

http://www.cfr.org/publication.html?id=7914

These Canadian, U.S., and Mexican elites are the same players who gave us the FTA and the NAFTA. They continue their work creating a North American union that integrates our economies and transforms our total policy-making capacity away from the public interest and away from the public good.

This plan goes by various names:
· Deep Integration
· Harmonization
· NAFTA-plus
· the "Big Idea" (C.D. Howe Institute)
· the "North American Security and Prosperity Initiative"
· Americanization

The plan of this Canada-U.S.-Mexico task force is to establish a continent-wide customs union with a common approach to trade, energy, immigration, law enforcement and security that would virtually eliminate existing national borders. The task force released its recommendations for a common North America in May 17/18 2005.There was minor reference to it in mainstream media- no headline presentation. The recommendations include:

* * a common security perimeter by 2010.
* * a North American Border Pass with biometric identifiers.
* * a unified border and expanded customs facilities.
** a single economic space: (It is this area that would destroy any opportunity to bring back the use of our Bank of Canada.)
* * a common external tariff.
* * seamless movement of goods within North America.
* * Full labor mobility between Canada and the U.S. (Note they apparently do not want the Mexican labourers??)
* * A North American energy strategy -as a regional alternative to Kyoto.
* * Review those sectors of NAFTA that were excluded.
* * A North American regulatory plan that would include "open skies and open roads" and a unified approach on food, health, and the environment.
* * Expand temporary worker programs and create a "North American preference" for immigration for citizens of North America.
* * A North American Investment Fund to build infrastructure to connect Mexico's poorer regions in the south to the market to the north.
* * Restructure and reform Mexico's public finances.
* * Fully develop Mexican energy resources (Mexico wisely kept their energy out of NAFTA)
* * A permanent tribunal for trade and investment disputes.( Here is where any vestige of democratic government disappears)
* * An annual North American summit meeting.
* * A Tri-national Competition Commission with a common approach to trade remedies.
* * Scholarships for a network of Centers for North American Studies. (To serve the corporations)

The few media references to the task force parrot the Orwellian double speak of the task force and politicians. The effect is to trick the people into believing this process is something good for us. But if you read carefully, you can identify that the regime change is all about the greed of an elite few. In order to manipulate us into accepting the regime change, they pretend it will protect us from “terrorists”. Terrorism has become the external threat, the bogey- man replacing Communism, just as Moslems have replaced Jews as scapegoats..

From Reuters:

“NEW YORK (Reuters) - The United States, Canada and Mexico should establish a common security perimeter to guard against terrorism in North America, a tri-national independent task force said in a report released onTuesday.

The countries should police their borders together to help border trade, allow easier movement of citizens and to keep out potential security threats, the task force said at New York's Council on Foreign Relations.

‘If our two borders, the one between Canada and the United States and the U.S. and Mexico, became a frontline for security the impact that would have on normal relations and economic relations would be profound,’ said co-chairman John Manley, a former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.”

From All American Patriots News:

“May 17, 2005--North America is vulnerable on several fronts: the region faces terrorist and criminal security threats, increased economic
competition from abroad, and uneven economic development at home. In response to these challenges, a tri-national, Independent Task Force on the Future of North America has developed a roadmap to promote North American security and advance the well-being of citizens of all three countries.

Pointing to increased competition from the European Union and rising economic powers such as India and China in the eleven years since NAFTA took effect, co-chair Pedro C. Aspe, former Finance Minister of Mexico, said, ‘We need a vision for North America to address the new challenges.’
The Task Force establishes a blueprint for a powerhouse North American trading area that allows for the seamless movement of goods, increased labor mobility, and energy security.

John P. Manley, Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance said, ‘We are asking the leaders of the United States, Mexico, and Canada to be bold and adopt a vision of the future that is bigger than, and beyond, the immediate problems of the present,’ ‘They could be the architects of a new community of North America, not mere custodians of the status quo.’”

In other words, forget Canada; forget the United States of America; forget the United States of Mexico. Some might consider this rather treasonous!!

Let us be very clear here. What the task force addresses is an economic/legal system in their interest with a police state to enforce it.

This task force is extrapolating the globalization process into a North American unit. Under the mantle of the WTO (an agreement in its own right,) there is in process a transformation of the forces of power in the world from sovereign national control of resources over to the global corporate control. It is what they call “deregulation” and”privatization”. That is why they called all the agreements “Free Trade”. They meant free from regulations and controls that protect consumers and the public generally, including protections from theft of the commons.

Now the intent is for transfer from global corporate control to regional corporate control, e.g., European Union, North American Union; that is, corporate political control free from government accountability to electors. The North American task force seeks to create a unit even freer from the vestigial citizen involvement that exists in the E.U. (Britain and Australia are lackeys of the United States.)

The FTA, the NAFTA, are well known. The Canadian Action Party and other concerned Canadians have been detailing the harm of these agreements for years. CAP has steadfastly called for the abrogation of the FTA and NAFTA. We have always said,” Issue the 6 month notice to abrogate!” The most recent justification for abrogation is the U.S.’s refusal to pay back $5 billion they owe our lumber industry for illegal duties the U.S. charged.

Despite years of proof of uneven and unfair use by the USA of the rules of the FTA and NAFTA, including the unfair closing of the U.S side of the border to Canadian beef, the Liberals, Conservatives, the NDP, and the Bloc Quebecois have refused to call for abrogation. It is only in the face of the clarity of this latest U.S. abuse of Canada that all of them are beginning to pretend they are not wimps or complicit dupes. Still, none of them is willing to say, “Abrogate, period!” How much longer are we willing to tolerate these politicians who not only meekly submit to being stomped on, but then turn to their attacker and apologize for being victimized?

Why do they do this? It is because all of their most influential leaders are members of this elite group who seek to remove democracy and entrench plutocracy. It is not a question of what is good for the citizens of Canada, U.S.A or Mexico. Note that the United States is turning that $5 billion which has been stolen from the Canadian lumber industry over to their own lumber barons, not their general body of citizens.

This North American Impetus is a natural political extension and outgrowth of all these global economic arrangements as the greedy financial elite look around for the best ways to effect their goals. It has everything to do with the destruction of democracy and the death of freedom. These corporate bodies have no allegiance to the nation they happen to operate in, or to its people.

Other harmful international agreements include the General Agreement on Trade and Services, (GATS), the Financial Services Investment Agreement, (FSIA), the Free Trade Area of the Americas, (FTAA), the Central American Free Trade Agreement, (CAFTA). All of these grow out of the World Trade Organization, (WTO), itself being an agreement that commands an ongoing deregulation and privatization process.

The eventual goal is to have all of North and South America as one regional power block stronger than anything in Europe or Asia. Fortunately for human beings, South America has not been the easy pushover that the corporations presumed, so they have to settle for a North American Union for now. (Why do you think Pat Robertson, a U.S. religious leader, on national U.S. media, and on Canada’s C.B.C., recently called for the Assassination of Hugo Chavez, the Leader of Venezuela?)

There exists a North America Bureau of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. See: http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/can-am/mai ... eau-en.asp

The role of the North America Bureau is twofold:

* to advance, in cooperation with other parts of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Canadian diplomatic missions in the United States and Mexico, and other Canadian Government departments and agencies, Canada's wide-ranging interests in its relations with the United
States and Mexico; and

* to promote Canada's broad foreign policy objectives within and through the Canada-US and the Canada-Mexico bilateral relationships.

In fulfilling this role, the Bureau is organized into four divisions:

* the United States Relations Division,
* the United States Transboundary Division, and
* the United States Business Development Division and
* The Mexico Division


2. Let’s now look at the second body, The Binational Military Planning
Group. (Source Michel Chossudovsky. http://www.globalresearch.ca
http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CH0411C.html

Chossudovsky says the people of NORAD and the Binational Planning Group are the same . They operate the same command. NORAD has essentially been scrapped. It has been integrated into US Northern Command, and Canada has become a de facto member of NORTHCOM under the auspices of the Bi-national Planning Group. (BPG).

So, when Prime Minister Paul Martin said "no" to Star Wars, he did not really say no. He lied to us.

The Binational Planning Group was set up in late 2002 after Prime Minster Chrétien refused to join NORTHCOM. The creation of Northcom had been announced unilaterally in April 2002 by Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfield who dictated that the US Northern Command would have jurisdiction over the entire North American region. Canada and Mexico were presented with a fait accompli. US Northern Command’s jurisdiction set out in the US DoD includes the continental US ,all of Canada, Mexico, portions of the Caribbean, contiguous waters in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans up to 500 miles off the Mexican, US and Canadian coastlines, as well as the Canadian arctic.

Northcom was being quietly negotiated with Ottawa’s Department of Defence and the PMO. Under NORTHCOM the US military will cross the border and deploy troops anywhere in Canada, in our provinces as well as station American warships in Canadian territorial waters. The locale for these
discussions is not in Canada, but at the Peterson Air Force base in
Colorado, the headquarters of the US Northern Command(Northcom) .

Chossudovsky reports that Rumsfeld is said to have boasted that “the
NORTHCOM with all of North America as its geographic command ‘is part of
the greatest transformation of the Unified Command Plan (UCP) since its
inceptions in 1947'”

When PM Chretien refused to sign on the dotted line, Rumsfield et al, the
military establishment, both US and Canadian, refused to take no for an answer. They immediately created a new name to accommodate the concept of NORTHCOM and called it the Binational Planning group . It is still operating out of the Peterson Air force base. It was supposed to last only for two years but its mandate has been renewed to spring of 2006. (Note- look for a Canadian election before the expiry date.)

The BPG has a staff of 50 US and Canadian military planners laying the groundwork fo the integration of Canada -US military command structures. The BPG works in close coordination with the Canada-US Military Cooperation Committee at the Pentagon- responsible for detailed
joint military planning.

Respecting missile defence, Martin told the press on February 22,2005: "[The Americans] were told we will not participate." "It is a firm 'no.'"

Chossudovsky reminds us that simultaneously, Frank McKenna ambassador designate to the US, in a contradictory statement, told the media “ Canada's participation in the controversial BMD is a "done deal". It's de facto. It was part of a negotiation process initiated two years ago.

"We're part of it now and the question is what more do we need?" said McKenna. "There's no doubt, in looking back, ... that the NORAD amendment has given, has created part, in fact a great deal, of what the United States means in terms of being able to get the input for defensive weaponry."

What Ambassador McKenna was hinting at, without revealing the substance of US-Canada negotiations (behind closed doors), is that NORAD is a defunct military body.

So the military side of this treason is waiting for government sanction in the spring of 2006 after our next election. Once again the arrogant confidence is at least irritating if not alarming.

Even though there is no official sanction yet, de facto sanctions exist as Canada is participating more and more in the US wars.. Now we have more troops in Afghanistan, and General Hilliard is warning Canadians to be prepared for the body bags returning to Canada. There is something really wrong with this picture.

In a comprehensive report prepared shortly before the Bush-Martin talks November 2004, the BPG made recommendations on: " how the two countries' militaries can work together more effectively to counter these [terrorist] threats. ... formalizing cooperation already taking place on an informal basis." (Statement of BPG spokesman, US Department of Defence Information, November 3, 2004)

With regard to military negotiations, McKenna knows what is happening behind the scenes. He was on the board of directors of the Carlyle Group together with Bush Senior and Frank Carlucci (The bin Laden family were investors in Carlyle until 9/11).

Carlyle, is the leading private equity investor in the aerospace and defence industries in the US and Canada. It plays a key role in the formulation of US defence and foreign policy. It has a vested interest in Canada's integration into NORTHCOM. Michel Chossusdovsky points out that “Canada’s participation in the
Bilateral Planning Group and hence the Northern Command implies Canada's acceptance not only of Star Wars, but of the entire US war agenda, requiring significant hikes in Canada's defence spending. The latter are intended to fuel the military-industrial complex. Canada's defence contractors are supportive of this process.”

Chossudovsky points to Canada's February 2005 budget, released on the day following P.M. PaulMartin's categorical "No" to the Missile Defence Program. Chossudovsky notes that “an additional $12.8 billion dollars (Cdn) (over the next five years), has added to Canada's spiralling defence budget. The stated objective is to ‘burnish the country's credibility as a global peacekeeping partner’.”

Chossudovsky notes further that the budget is not meant to refurbish the country's conventional military hardware, but rather will be channelled to Canadian weapons producers, many of which are affiliates of US defence conglomerates, upon Canada's accession to NORTHCOM.. He lists some major players in Canada's defence industry: General Dynamics (Canada), Bell Helicopter Textron (Canada), General Motors Defense, CAE Inc, Bombardier,
SNC-Lavalin Group, etc.


So we can see that those two bodies, the trilateral task force and the Bilateral Planning group, are well entrenched in process.

The fact is that most Canadians oppose this deep economic and military integration.

Now the greedy corporations are staking out a claim on more and more land in a region of North America in order to be bigger, and better and more profitable than a group of corporations from another regional block. The European Union was the first block. There is a rising Asian block. I am not the first to see the USA attacks on the middle east as a means of
preventing the Asian blocks from becoming the most powerful . The third region is the Americas. South America has not been an easy go for the globalizers. So the focus is concentrating for now on North America.)

By examination of the arrangements and deals happening under our noses but by stealth, we can see that our worries expressed over the years are coming to fruition. The globalizers are well into the process of implementing a clear regime run by them, about them, for them, and enforced by governments. The masses of people do not count except as cannon fodder in the wars of conquest and as slaves for the production process .

There is every intention of regime change from democracy to tyranny. Our governments are already the willing whipping boys being the instruments of social control. They have no shame in removing our civil liberties and destroying our constitutional protections .This is happening all around the world with the USA, Britain, Australia and Canada being the most advanced in the regime change process. It is an outrage and a disgrace that Canada is now competing with Britain to become the lowliest lick spittle groveling agent to the USA led regime change process. There is nothing good in this regime change process for the citizen.



Part 2 of Meta-Morphosis and Sabotage of Canada by our own Government - Laws, Arrangements and Agreements
written by Connie Fogal, Leader CAP/PAC, November 2005

Lets look at some of the other incredible arrangements our government has made, all of which throw away our sovereignty, independence, and our civil liberties.

1. The Canada -U.S. Smart Border Declaration with a 30 point action plan signed Dec 12,2001
2. The Public Safety Act, 2002 with despotic powers to certain Cabinet Ministers
3. The Anti Terrorism Act currently under review
4.The North American Security and Prosperity Initiative (NASPI)- a report released January 2003 of the project of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives(CCCE) to develop a strategy for shaping Canada's future within North America and Beyond
5. The Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement signed by Bush and Martin in March of 2005
6. 40 Point Smart Regulation Action Plan
7. The Report of Ministers to the Leaders -SPP- North America June 2005

-------------------------------

1. The Canada - U.S. Smart Border Declaration signed Dec 12,2001. Note John Manley signed this when he was deputy Prime Minister along with Tom Ridge, US Homeland Security Director. Manley is now the head of the North American Union Task Force promoting the end of the nations of Canada , USA, and Mexico as we know them. http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/newsroom/fac ... art-e.html


The Canada -US Smart Border Declaration has everything to do with total integration of Canada into the USA dominated system and control, with total loss of Canadian sovereignty and independence. Our government through one Cabinet Minister and his officials committed Canadians to arrangements which had not been discussed in Parliament, nor presented to the Canadians at large. Some would say it is treasonous to be making, in effect, fundamental changes to our constitutional structure without taking this to the citizens. The arrangements are after the fact being rammed through Parliament piecemeal without any Member of Parliament making a fuss about the fact of the pre-arranged agreement between Manley and Ridge, nor demanding that Canadians should have a say in this. No Member of Parliament was elected on any platform to create or enter a North American Union which this Smart Border Declaration is doing. The tragedy for Canadians is that we appear to have no MP's, nor party with representatives elected to the House of Common who are prepared to fight for Canadians, or even to inform us. In effect, there is no opposition in government. The opposition is us, outside of government. This should not have to be!

This declaration outlines a set of initiatives called the 30-point Action Plan. The Canada Customs and Revenue agency is working collaboratively with the United States Customs Service, the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The CCRA has the lead responsibility for eight of the initiatives outlined in the 30 Point Action Plan. Making those eight happen is the priority for CCRA. The eight are:
- A Single Alternative Inspection System
-Air Pre-clearance
-Advance Passenger Information/Passenger Name Record
-Ferry Terminal Reviews
-Harmonized Commercial Processing
-Clearance Away from the Border
-Customs Data Exchange
-In-Transit Container Targeting at Seaports

The 30 points are:

1) Biometric Identifiers- Jointly develop on an urgent basis common biometric identifiers in documentation such as (this means in other ways too) permanent resident cards, NEXUS, and other travel documents. (That means DNA markers, eyeprints and fingerprints) ( CBC recently reported that this month our Government will present to Parliament a bill that will permit "chips" being placed in our passports .The chips will hold untold amounts of personal data, even possibly to the amount of money you have in your bank account. This chip can be accessed and read by any one or place that has the existing technology. It has been reported to me that the Mohawk Indians have been approached by our government to volunteer to being "chipped" and to have DNA records of them created for tracking. Chips are microscopic devices that can be implanted in your skin as easily as on a card. This is no longer science fiction folks. It is happening.)

2) Permanent Resident Cards- a secure card which includes a biometric identifier. (It is the impending legislation that will require all citizens to be
fingerprinted and eye printed, and to have all their personal data encrypted on a national card- even human chip implants to track your location and activity. Many cell phones already do that. Some clothing manufacturers, and I am told Walmart is one, already have microscopic tracking chips that remain in the clothes after you leave the store with your purchase. If someone wanted to, they could track you if you wear Walmart clothing. Who has sanctioned that?

3) Single Alternative Inspection System- Resume NEXUS for two-way movement of pre-approved travellers at Sarnia-Port Huron,and expand a single program to other areas along the land border. Discuss expansion to air travel.

4) Refugee/Asylum Processing-Review practices and procedures to ensure that applicants are thoroughly screened for security risks and take necessary steps to share information on refugee and asylum claimants.

5) Managing of Refugee/Asylum Claims- Negotiate a safe third-country agreement to enhance the managing of refugee claims. ( The Safe Third Country Agreement was signed by officials of Canada and the United States on December 5, 2002. The agreement allows both countries to manage the flow of refugee claimants. No longer does Canada make its own decisions based on our sovereign principles. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/policy/safe-third.html ) Did you hear any fuss being made by anyone in Parliament about this destruction of our sovereign capacity? Or by the media?

6) Visa Policy Coordination- joint respective visa waiver lists and share look-out lists at visa issuing offices.

7) Air Preclearance- implement the Preclearance Agreement signed in January 2001. Resume intransit preclearance at Vancouver and
expand to other airports per Annex I of the Agreement.

The following url shows the Bill C22 The Preclearance Act. I do not know if the Act has come into force yet. It clearly allows for the no fly lists and gives authority to pre-clearance officers in special setoff areas at airports to do thing with persons named. http://www.parl.gc.ca/36/1/parlbus/cham ... nt/S-22/S-

Advance Passenger Information / Passenger Name Record- Share this on flights between Canada and the United States, including in-transit flights. Identify risks posed by passengers on international flights arriving in each other's territory. (These are the "no fly" lists whereby any of us can be defined as a bad guy and not allowed to fly. Senator Kennedy was put the no fly list of the US . It took a while to get his name removed. )

See what Canada's privacy commissioner says about the No Fly lists: http://news.gc.ca/cfmx/view/en/index.js ... eid=163059

See what our government says: http://www.psepc.gc.ca/publications/new ... 05-1_e.asp

and at http://www.psepc.gc.ca/national_securit ... rism_e.asp


9) Joint Passenger Analysis Units-Establish joint units at key international airports in Canada and the United States.

10) Ferry Terminals- Review customs and immigration presence and practices at international ferry terminals. ( End of sovereign Canadian only decisions)

11) Compatible Immigration Databases- automated database, such as Canada's Support System for Intelligence, for information exchange, and enhance sharing of intelligence and trend analysis.

12) Immigration Officers Overseas- Increase number of Canadian and US immigration officers at airports overseas and enhance joint training of airline personnel. ( More do it the US way when maybe we would not do it at all if we made our own decision)

13) International Cooperation- technical assistance to source and transit countries.

14) Harmonized Commercial Processing-complementary systems for commercial processing, including audit-based programs and partnerships with industry.
Explore the merits of a common program.

15) Clearance Away from the Border- integrated trade facilitation through away-from- the-border processing for truck/rail cargo (and crews), including inland preclearance/post-clearance, international zones and pre-processing centers at the border, and maritime port intransit preclearance.

16) Joint Facilities- under current legislation and regulations create small, remote joint border facilities. Examine the legal and operational issues associated with the establishment of international zones and joint facilities, including armed protection or the arming of law enforcement officers in such zones and facilities. ( An armed border)

17) Customs Data - Sign the Agreement on Sharing Data Related to Customs Fraud, exchange agreed upon customs data pursuant to NAFTA, and discuss what additional commercial and trade data should be shared for national security purposes. (By sharing financial data, they can drive anyone into bankruptcy if they want to . Re- read Orwell's 1984) (Lougheed Martin, a military oriented company has been given the contract to handle Canadian census data which means under the USA Patriot Act , all the information about every Canadian is in the hands of the US Homeland Security. .That body has Orwellian powers with tentacles now into Canadian homes. At what point will Canadian outrage emerge? )

1 Intransit Container Targeting at Seaports- exchange information and analysis. Work in partnership with the industry to develop advance electronic commercial manifest data for marine containers arriving from overseas.

19) Infrastructure Improvements- joint and coordinated physical and technological improvements to key border points and trade corridors - dedicated lanes and border modeling exercises. (Easy movement of troops into Canada)

20) Intelligent Transportation Systems-Deploy interoperable technologies in support of other initiatives to facilitate the secure movement of goods and people, such as transponder applications and electronic container seals. (Transponders are devices that take a picture of you as you drive by and track you - like on Ontario's highway 407)

21) Critical Infrastructure Protection- Conduct binational threat assessments on trans-border infrastructure and identify necessary additional protection measures, and initiate assessments for transportation networks and other critical infrastructure.

22) Aviation Security- Finalize Federal Aviation Administration-Transport Canada agreement on comparability/equivalence of security and training standards.

23) Integrated Border and Marine Enforcement Teams-Expand IBET/IMET to other areas of the border and enhance communication and coordination.

24) Joint Enforcement Coordination-comprehensive and permanent coordination of law enforcement, anti- terrorism efforts and information sharing, such as by strengthening the Cross-Border Crime Forum and reinvigorating Project Northstar. (Law enforcement is a crucial part of sovereignty-)

25) Integrated Intelligence- joint teams to analyze and disseminate information and intelligence, and produce threat and intelligence assessments. Initiate discussions regarding a Canadian presence on the U.S. Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task Force. (Canada gives up any semblance of independent policies. ) ( Is this the source of the bill coming before Parliament this month that will give increased powers to security forces to spy on and take action against e mail and websites and cell phones and fax communications

26) Fingerprints-RCMP to access FBI fingerprint data directly via real-time electronic link (and vice versa) .

27) Removal of Deportees- Address legal and operational challenges to joint removals, and coordinate initiatives to encourage uncooperative countries to accept their nationals. (In other words, Canada will adopt US rules on who is to be deported. That explains the transition to violation of international human rights by Canada in the harsh treatment in Canada of the 5 Muslims detained without trial and without defence in provincial prison without release.)

2 Counter-Terrorism Legislation-Bring into force legislation on terrorism, including measures for the designation of terrorist organizations. (This is the source of our Anti--terrorist legislation - our Bill C 36, and the USA Patriot Act. It was not Canadian philosophy and policy and tradition that brought this Orwellian legislation into being. It was the demand from the US, and Canada's submission to and under this agreement. Canada promised to deliver this. 9/11 was the impetus, the excuse, to do what was intended any way. In both the USA and Canada, the anti-terrorist legislation is up for review now. The goal is to make the laws in both countries even more invasive and liberty stripping, more Orwellian. )

29) Freezing of Terrorist Assets-Exchange advance information on designated individuals and organizations in a timely manner.

30) Joint Training and Exercises- joint response to terrorism- joint counter-terrorism training and exercises

Read how the U.S. Homeland Security website explains this agreement: http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/display?content=97

This Canada -US Smart Border Declaration militarizes Canada and sets the stage for a police state. It is responsible for our anti-terrorist law which emulates the US Patriot Act. The anti-terrorist laws discriminate against racial groups, remove habeas corpus, (ie, the right to be produced before a court rather than arrested, locked up and the key thrown away), remove the right to a fair trial or in some cases to any trial at all. They remove the right to defend yourself. They criminalize dissent. They revokes civil liberties. They are Draconian laws sitting there waiting to pounce on lawful citizens when the right occasion presents itself. Canada's anti-terrorist law is already being applied against Canadians of middle Eastern heritage- note the 5 Muslims incarcerated in Toronto upon being accused of being terrorists. Our judicial history prevented indefinite incarceration without a trial.We had to be found guilty, not just accused. That protection is gone now.


2. The Public Safety Act, 2002 (Bill C7) grew out of Bills C 17, C55, and C42. This act amends 23 existing acts and implements the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention Act. http://www.parl.gc.ca/common/bills_Is.a ... l=37&Ses=3

The Public Safety Act imposes many terms that restrict civil liberties. The section dealing with interim orders grants despotic powers to a number of Cabinet Ministers such that at their individual, sole decree without prior Parliamentary oversight, approval or sanction, they can impose the police state. Eight parts of the Bill amend various statutes to provide a new power permitting the responsible Minister to make interim orders in situations where immediate action is required (as he alone determines) . For example, the Minister of Health can require mandatory vaccinations and quarantine.

Interim orders under The Public Safety Act are exempt from the usual requirements of our law that are in place to prevent abuse and excess. These orders are specifically free from checks to avoid abuse or violations of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Bill of Rights These orders avoid examination by government lawyers whose usual job is to ensure regulations and orders are not an unusual or unexpected use of authority;and that they do not trespass unduly on existing rights and freedoms.

The respective Ministers, are:
* Department of Health Act * Minister of Health;
* Food and Drugs Act* Minister of Health;
* Hazardous Products Act * Minister of Health;
* Navigable Waters Protection Act* Minister of Fisheries and Oceans;
* Pest Control Products Act * Minister of Health;
* Quarantine Act * Minister of Health;
* Radiation Emitting Devices Act * Minister of Health; and
* Canada Shipping Act; Canada Shipping Act, 2001
(4) * Ministers of Transport and Fisheries and Oceans.


Now it is clearer to understand what the gun registration was all about!. Disarm the people from protecting themselves from their own government , not protection from criminals. This concept of possibly needing to protect ourselves from our government is so foreign to the Canadian psyche that most of us did not see the malevolence of the gun registry program. We became unwitting dupes to the police state agenda because of our antipathy towards violence.

3. The Anti Terrorism Act - (Bill C 36) Currently under review to make it even more prohibitive.

4. The North American Security and Prosperity Initiative (NASPI)- a project of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives(CCCE)launched in January 2003 to develop a strategy for shaping Canada's future within North America and Beyond.

See: http://www.ceocouncil.ca/en/view/?docum ... &area_id=7

This url is a must read. It was posted or updated November2, 2005 as News and Information. It is a discussion paper released April 2004. Here you can see that the chief executives of the 150 leading corporations of Canada are in the driver's seat setting out the political agenda to meet its own interests. Their own language has a flavour of their attitude that they do rule.

Here is the preface to their discussion paper. The bold markings are mine for emphasis.


"The Council was the private sector leader in the development and promotion of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement during the 1980s and of the subsequent trilateral North American Free Trade Agreement. North American economic integration is now well advanced and irreversible, and in the face of global terrorism, the economic and physical security of the continent have become indivisible.

While the Council's fundamental vision for North America remains trilateral, we believe that to be most effective in addressing some of the key challenges facing our continent today, Canada and the United States must take the lead in developing a new paradigm for cooperation, one that will increase the security of our respective citizens and maximize the ability of our countries to prosper in a world marked by increasingly intense competition among developed and developing countries. Given ever-growing international flows of goods, services, people, investment and ideas, this new paradigm must be based on respect for sovereignty while achieving more effective and mutually beneficial interdependence.

Following more than a year of research and consultation with academics, business leaders and government officials in Canada, the United States and Mexico, we are ready to share some of our thinking. Many important questions remain to be answered, but we hope that the 15 specific recommendations we offer in this discussion paper serve as a point of departure for debate within Canada and the United States and as a spur to action on the critical issues that we have identified.

On behalf of the members of the Council, we are grateful to our readers for your interest in the shared challenges facing Canadians and our North American partners. We look forward to your thoughts and to working with you to ensure growing security and prosperity for all North Americans.

Richard L. George
Chairman

Thomas P. d'Aquino
President and Chief Executive"



Most important is the CCCE statement that both the Martin Liberals and the Harper Conservatives support the CCCE initiative for a North American structure that will serve the corporate agenda. . The CCCE paper states:

"While 2004 will bring elections in both Canada and the United States, political interest in new approaches to North America crosses partisan boundaries. Prime Minister Paul Martin has made clear his intention to reinvigorate Canada's relationship with the United States as part of a broader strategy for strengthening Canada's influence in the world. Stephen Harper, the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, has called for a continental "strategic partnership", one that would link freer flows of goods, services, labour, capital and technology with improvements in continental security."

So for all those strategists who urged people to vote Liberal to keep out the Conservatives, and for those voters who complied, we now can realize the stupidity in that approach. But most voters did not buy into that lie. In 2004 Canadians produced a minority government precisely because the voters knew intuitively that something very rotten is transpiring.

The report sets out five pillars for a comprehensive strategy:

"In launching its North American Security and Prosperity Initiative (NASPI), the CCCE suggested that a Canadian strategy for managing its future within the continent should be based on five pillars: reinventing borders; regulatory efficiency; resource security; the North American defence alliance; and new institutions.

Over the past year, there has been an explosion of research and discussion about options for North America. The intensity of the discussion has been greatest in Canada, but it has spread into both the United States and Mexico, across academic, business and government circles. There is clearly much more to be explored, tested and eventually negotiated, but the immense amount of work done over the past year has established a meaningful foundation for more detailed discussion of our options.


Based on all of the work by the CCCE and by many others, this discussion paper builds on the original framework of the CCCE's North American initiative, suggests points of emerging consensus and puts forward 15 specific recommendations. From here, the CCCE hopes to foster further dialogue on the best options for Canada and on how best to move forward in building a 21st century Canada-United States partnership in North America.


ELEMENTS OF A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY

Ever since September 11, 2001, there has been no question that the management of the Canada-United States border must evolve. The two countries quickly agreed on the 30-point Smart Border action plan in late 2001, and much has been and continues to be achieved under this umbrella. Our two countries have been working closely, sharing information, developing and deploying new tools for managing risk, expanding border infrastructure and experimenting with new ways to speed the flows of low-risk goods and travellers while improving security overall.

As the CCCE suggested in launching its North American initiative, however, much more can and must be done. The CCCE continues to believe that a comprehensive strategy must encompass five pillars:
First, it must move beyond border management to the true reinvention of North American borders.
Second, efforts to smooth customs processing must be reinforced by a sweeping effort to reduce the costs and delays at the border caused by regulatory differences.
Third, and linked to regulatory issues, it must address issues in the resource sector to ensure that trade flows respect the twin principles of security of access and security of supply.
Fourth, it must recognize that all of the progress Canada desires on the economic front depends on a credible reinvigoration of the North American defence alliance.
Fifth, it must consider the development of a range of new institutions to manage the deepening of the Canada-United States relationship
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These suggestions of the CCCE are being implemented incrementally by our government . Read the section on North American Defence carefully if you had any doubts about the points raised in Part 1. of my paper respecting Canada's complete integration with the US military agenda.



5. The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America signed by Martin (Canada) , Bush (USA) and Fox ( Mexico) in March 2005. This is the political arm complying with its marching orders from the CCCE. Read this url to get the full flavour of the power unfolding.

Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America Established March 23, 2005 Waco, Texas

Below are highlights of the statement made by the Leaders setting out the Security Agenda and Prosperity Agenda and announcing the establishment of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) . The statement was released March 23,2005 at the conclusion of Prime Minister Paul Martin's meeting with United States President George W. Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.


SECURITY AND PROSPERITY PARTNERSHIP OF NORTH AMERICA

We, the elected leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, gather in Texas to announce the establishment of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.

Over the past decade, our three nations have taken important steps to expand economic opportunity for our people and to create the most vibrant and dynamic trade relationship in the world. Since September 11, 2001, we have also taken significant new steps to address the threat of terrorism and to enhance the security of our people.

But more needs to be done. ...

... This work will be based on the principle that our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary...Also, it will help consolidate our action into a North American framework to confront security and economic challenges...

... The Partnership is trilateral in concept; while allowing any two countries to move forward on an issue, it will create a path for the third to join later.

Advancing our Common Security

We will establish a common approach to security to protect North America from external threats, prevent and respond to threats within North America, and further streamline the secure and efficient movement of legitimate, low-risk traffic across our shared borders. As part of our efforts, we will:

* Implement common border security and bioprotection strategies;

* Enhance critical infrastructure protection, and implement a common approach to emergency response;

* Implement improvements in aviation and maritime security, combat transnational threats, and enhance intelligence partnerships; and

* Implement a border facilitation strategy to build capacity and improve the legitimate flow of people and cargo at our shared borders.

Advancing our Common Prosperity...

.... regulatory cooperation
....sectoral collaboration in energy, transportation, financial services, technology, and other areas to facilitate business; and invest in our people;
....efficient movement of goods and people; and.....


Next Steps

We will establish Ministerial-led working groups that will consult with stakeholders in our respective countries. These working groups will respond to the priorities of our people ( I do not think the people are the masses of citizens) and our businesses, and will set specific, measurable, and achievable goals. They will identify concrete steps that our governments can take to meet these goals, and set implementation dates that will permit a rolling harvest of accomplishments.

Within 90 days, Ministers will report back to us with their initial report. Following this, the groups will report on a semi-annual basis. Because the Partnership will be an ongoing process of cooperation, new items will be added to the work agenda by mutual agreement as circumstances warrant.

Through this Partnership, we will ensure that North America remains the most economically dynamic region of the world and a secure home for our people in this and future generations.


SECURITY AGENDA
... Canada, the United States, and Mexico will work together to ensure the highest continent-wide security standards and streamlined risk-based border processes are achieved in the following priority areas:

Secure North America from External Threats

• Develop and implement a North American traveler security strategy, and a cargo security strategy for screening prior to departure from a foreign port and at the first port of entry to North America.

• Develop and implement a North American bioprotection strategy to assess, prevent, protect, detect, and respond to intentional, as well as applicable naturally occurring threats to public health and the food and agriculture system.

Prevent and Respond to Threats within North America

• Develop and implement a strategy to enhance North American maritime transportation and port security.

• Develop and implement a strategy to establish equivalent approaches to aviation security for North America.

• Develop and implement a comprehensive North American strategy for combating transnational threats to the United States, Canada, and Mexico, including terrorism, organized crime, illegal drugs, migrant and contraband smuggling and trafficking.

• Enhance partnerships on intelligence related to North American security.

• Develop and implement a common approach to critical infrastructure protection, and response to cross-border terrorist incidents and, as applicable, natural disasters.


Further Streamline the Secure Movement of Low-risk Traffic across our Shared Borders
...... a border facilitation strategy to build capacity and improve the legitimate flow of people and cargo at ports of entry within North America.
.....new technologies to advance our shared security goals and promote the legitimate flow of people and goods across our borders.


PROSPERITY AGENDA

• Regulatory Cooperation .....compatibility of regulations and standards and eliminating redundant testing and certification requirements.....Strengthen regulatory cooperation, including at the onset of the regulatory process, to minimize barriers.

.......greater cooperation in sectors such as autos, steel, and other sectors identified through consultations.

......increase reliable energy supplies for the region's needs and development, by facilitating investment in energy infrastructure, technology improvements, production and reliable delivery of energy; ..... to streamline and update regulations; ....promoting energy efficiency, conservation, and technologies such as clean coal, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen and renewable energy.

.... North America's transportation system by expanding market access, facilitating multimodal corridors, reducing congestion, and alleviating bottlenecks at the border that inhibit growth and threaten our quality of life (e.g., expand air services agreements, increase airspace capacity, initiate an Aviation Safety Agreement process, pursue smart border information technology initiatives, ensure compatibility of regulations and standards in areas such as statistics, motor carrier and rail safety, and working with responsible jurisdictions, develop mechanisms for enhanced road infrastructure planning, including an inventory of border transportation infrastructure in major corridors and public-private financing instruments for border projects).

...... freer flow of capital and the efficient provision of financial services throughout North America (e.g., facilitate cross-border electronic access to stock exchanges ... further collaboration on training programs for bank, insurance and securities regulators and supervisors.....improve convenience and cost of insurance coverage for carriers engaged in cross border commerce.

.... cross-border technology trade ... preventing unnecessary barriers from being erected (e.g., agree on mutual recognition of technical requirements for telecommunications equipment, tests and certification; adopt a framework of common principles for e-commerce).

.... Lower the transaction costs of trade in goods by liberalizing the requirements for obtaining duty-free treatment under NAFTA, including through the reduction of rules of origin costs on goods traded between our countries. ...

....rationalizing minor differences in external tariffs, consistent with multilateral negotiation strategies.


..... facilitate further the movement of business persons within North America and discuss ways to reduce taxes and other charges residents face when returning from other North American countries.

.................................................. .................................................. ....................

Enhance public health cross-border coordination in infectious diseases surveillance, prevention and control (e.g., pandemic influenza).

...............................................

-..... Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use....identification and adoption of best practices relating to the registration of medicinal products.

6. The 40 point Smart Regulation Action Plan - announced March 24, 2005 at a Newsmaker Breakfast at the National Press Club. (Globe and Mail March 21).

See: www.regulation.gc.ca
And: http://www.regulation.gc.ca/default.asp ... ap16_e.htm

This plan introduces huge changes to Canada's regulatory system. This plan is the result of another corporate "task force". The plan will make it easier and faster for corporations to get approval for new drugs, complete environmental assessments, and the like. On March 21, the Globe and Mail stated that one of the initiatives is:"A paperwork-burden-reduction task force with the private sector to reduce the obligations for business to comply with regulations at all levels of government"

The Smart Regulation Plan will "harmonize" Canadian regulations with U.S. regulations,i.e., make Canadian regulations the same as U.S. regulations, which means more deregulation and fewer protections for consumers. Canada often has very different regulations from the U.S in terms of things like safety and environment. For example, Bush's U.S. refused to sign on to Kyoto, and has instituted environmental regulations that many U.S. citizens believe are a step backward for the U.S., and harmful to the environment.(see www.bushgreenwatch.org)

It has been impossible to find an actual list of the 40 points referred to in various media reports. However, there are many references to the smart regulations in the various urls presented in this Part 2..

7. The Report of Ministers to the Leaders -SPP- North America June 2005

This is an important url to read.: http://www.fac-aec.gc.ca/SPP-report.PDF

It is signed by three ministers from each of Canada USA and Mexico. For Canada they are : Anne McLellan, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness; David Emerson, Minister of Industry; and Pierre Pettigrew, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

They begin their report by saying that the leaders on March 23, 2005 asked their Ministers to create an architecture to enhance the security of North America and this report is a response to that request.

Thanks Kate. I found this over there also. Has about the same name as an article put out a few months ago about end of the US...

The End of Canada?
What would you think if it was announced that Canada was to cease as an independent country as early as 2007? Would it matter to you? Would you want to know who was responsible? What would you do?

Well, during the last week there have been announcements from at least two sources that Canada will soon cease to exist as a sovereign country.

The first notice I received was in the form of an Aug. 18 email from Connie Fogal, leader of the Canadian Action Party. The email includes a bulletin from the Fraser Institute entitled, "The Case for the Amero: The Institutions of a North American Monetary Union." A statement near the end of the bulletin reads, "On the day the North American Monetary Union is created--perhaps on January 1, 2010--Canada, the United States, and Mexico will replace their national currencies with the amero. On that day, all American dollar notes and coins will be exchanged at the rate of one US dollar for one amero."

Then much worst news came. On August 30 I received, indirectly from an email correspondent, an article from vivelecanada.ca entitled, "Timeline of the Progress Towards a North American Union". At the end of the timeline it projected that the North American Union would be created in 2007, three years before the projection of the Fraser Institute!

You might ask how we got into a situation where our country would be dismantled without our consent. Well, from World Net Daily we read that "the White House has established working groups, under the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the Department of Commerce, to implement the Security and Prosperity Partnership (also called the North American Union) signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, March 23, 2005". This was done without authorization of the US Congress or any level of government in all three countries as far as I am able to ascertain.

A 400-yard-wide superhighway will link Mexico, the US and Canada.

According to Alex Jones, US radio personality and patriot, a superhighway has been covertly constructed piece by piece for the last two or three years. Patrick J. Buchanan says that "within the median strip dividing the north and south car and truck lanes would be rail lines for both passengers and freight traffic, and oil and gas pipelines."

Inexpensive Chinese-made goods, produced for about US$0.45 per hour , will enter ports in Mexico and flood into the US and Canada. US and Canadian workers in those industries will be forced to compete against these wage rates, among the lowest in the world. Also, it is said that low-waged Mexican truck drivers will transport goods from Mexico into what is now the US and Canada. The well-paying jobs of US and Canadian long shore workers will be lost to lower paying Mexican long shore workers. The overall effect of the North American Union will be to drive down the wage levels across the board, as Canadians and Americans are forced to compete against the world's lowest wage levels.

Where is all this heading?

We are heading into a One World government and a One World economy where sovereign countries are being systematically destroyed. It's called the New World Order and it's been in the works for decades. At the moment, George W. Bush is the figurehead leader in front of a neo conservative (fascist) ruling elite which is the driving force behind the NWO agenda. It is an agenda by and for the ruling elites. The middle class, the only collective power that has the strength to fight back against this agenda, if they could ever unite in purpose, is being systematically destroyed. If the trend continues, the vast majority of workers will be driven down to the lowest level.

Don't look to Prime Minister Stephen Harper to fight against the North American Union and to save our sovereignty. He is solidly behind President George W. Bush. It is even said that NDP leader, Jack Layton, has formed an alliance with Stephen Harper - see Jacques Lemieux's article in the Canadian in which he makes his case and concludes, "A working alliance between Mr. Harper and Mr. Layton is the only thing that can explain why Mr. Layton has chosen not to apparently rally Canadians against the clearly reactionary agenda of Mr. Harper."

So who's fighting for Canada?

There is only one party that has a solid sovereigntist agenda - the Canadian Action Party. David Orchard is also trying to recruit followers in an attempt to turn the Liberal party into a sovereigntist party. But these political efforts, even if one succeeds, will be too late. This is because the North American Union will already be in place before the next Canadian national election. Clearly, another strategy is necessary if we are to save our country.

Where is the discussion on how to save Canada?

The discussion is definately not in the mainstream media. The mainstream media is an arm of the same elite that is trying to implement the North American Union. The discussion will take place on the internet amongst concerned citizens and concerned organizations, on the streets and in your community. It is the people at the grassroots that have the potential to fire up a meaningful discussion on this issue. If they don't, we are finished as a nation.

Finally, what does this mean for people in Lumby?

In a nutshell, as the nation goes, so will its people. We will not be impervious to these high level machinations. Our economy will continue to be corporatized and those corporations will continue to merge into larger entities. With the influx of cheap imported goods, small farmers, businesspeople, and entrepreneurs will be driven under by being forced to compete against larger, more powerful corporate entities.

Unless we wake up fast and begin to unite and pose an effective fightback, we can say goodbye to Canada and our prosperous way of life.
