Lawmakers in Canada appear to be paving the way for "deep integration" with the U.S. and Mexico with a proposed measure that advances the controversial Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America promoted by the Bush administration, notes WND columnist Jerome Corsi.
It's an issue Corsi has fully investigated for his newest book, "The Late Great USA."
The conservative minority government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper is pressing for "The Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement", which would enable a Canadian company to challenge laws in provinces that block the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Murray Dobbin, a Vancouver author and journalist critical of SPP, argued in an article titled, "The Plan to Disappear Canada – 'Deep Integration' comes out of the shadows," the secretive trilateral bureaucratic working groups organized under the auspices of SPP are "harmonizing" virtually every important area of public policy with the U.S., including "defense, foreign policy, energy (they get security, we get greenhouse gases), culture, social policy, tax policy, drug testing and safety and much more."
The proposed legislation would allow companies that believe provincial laws and regulations harm their NAFTA rights to demand up to $5 million in compensatory damages for each violation.
When fully implemented, Dobbin argues, "TILMA would allow challenges to the location and size of commercial signs, environmental set-backs for developers, zoning, building height restrictions, pesticide bans, and green space requirements in urban areas. It also would allow challenges to restrictions on private health clinics, halt stricter rules for nursing homes and almost certainly overturn the current ban on junk food in British Columbia schools."
The controversy over SPP broke into the mainstream in Canada last month when Tory Member of Parliament Leon Benoit walked out of a House of Commons International Trade Committee hearing in protest to a leftist professor who wanted to air his objections to "deep integration" with the U.S.
The professor, Gordon Laxer of the University of Alberta, was about to explain to the committee his theory that SPP involves a U.S. grab of Canada's energy resources when Benoit adjourned the meeting and bolted out of the room, preventing the Canadian mainstream press from hearing and reporting the professor's arguments.
Laxer, nevertheless, published his testimony in the nationally read Globe and Mail newspaper.
Laxar has objected to the closed-door meeting roundtables of Canadian business and corporate elite held in Calgary by the Washington-based think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies, or CSIS, as part of its "North American Future 2025 Project."
WND previously reported two activist groups, the Council of Canadians and the Coalition for Water Aid, are protesting that the CSIS research project involves a massive grab by the U.S. of Canadian fresh water, estimated to be one-fifth of the world's supply.
WND also has reported the CSIS, chaired by former Sen. Sam Nunn and guided by trustees including Richard Armitage, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Harold Brown, William Cohen and Henry Kissinger, is planning to present its "North American Future 2025" final report to the governments of Mexico, Canada and the U.S. by Sept. 30. The report is expected to recommend the benefits of integrating the U.S., Mexico and Canada into one political economic and security bloc.
Canadian activists are preparing to protest the third summit meeting of the SPP, scheduled for Aug. 20 and 21 in Montebello, Quebec.
“They’re not a real country anyway.”
I've done no such thing. The Communist Manifesto does not mean the Communists control the world. A CFR report about the NAU doesn't mean the NAU controls the US, Canada and Mexico.
you acknowledge the globalist effort to erase countries and form regional unions. Priceless!
Huh? I think you missed your last dose of meds. Call your nurse before you act out and lose your internet privileges.
You clearly linked the communist manifesto and the CFR documents. And you acknowledge that there is a global effort to create regional unions that will erase country borders and eliminate citizen sovereignty. It’s all right there where you wrote it.
As documents that don't magically cause things to happen.
And you acknowledge that there is a global effort to create regional unions that will erase country borders and eliminate citizen sovereignty.
I was just admitting that the unions you posted actually existed. And that they were scary!!
It’s all right there where you wrote it.
If you say so. Have you posted any articles lately where you agree with Commies? That's always funny.
Don't forget the article at the top of this thread . . . it is swimming with leftists.
...and that smug look on his face.
“You’re gonna buy my chicken. Oh!”
It's funnier when she posts one. But as long as she agrees with the leftists, it's a win.
Coming from a Commie symp like you, that really hurts. LOL!
It was a map of the NASCO Highway System from NASCO or SPP files that you put up. I replied to you as the poster.
I didn’t, but I posted it from my cube on the third floor of CFR headquarters. Does that count?
Why do you want to do things the hard way?
The time to get rid of Hitler was the 1930's or the 1920's. But noooo, we had to wait until he was master of the Wehrmacht and half of Europe.
In 1937, your logic would bid us wait while he gathered his strength, on the grounds that he hadn't yet done anything that merited our squashing him. You might have raised numerous arguments from sovereignty and international law -- and you'd have been dead wrong the whole time.
The right answer, which George W. Bush exercised against Saddam Hussein and which Henry Kissinger implemented against Salvador Allende of Chile and the MNR that was waiting in the wings with their "second revolution" to take Chile, finally and unshakably, into the Second World's orbit, is to move when one is morally sure of one's grounds against something that is recognizably a Bad Thing, or against someone who is recognizably a Bad Actor.
That's the point, which you are scoffing at because you're shilling for the bad guys, and have been for some time.
So who are we getting rid of now, before it's too late? Bush?
That's the point, which you are scoffing at because you're shilling for the bad guys, and have been for some time.
Who am I shilling for?
Post #259 contains the link to your agreement with Commies. So when you said I loved Commies, you were clearly projecting.
