"Can the prime minister president tell us why he will be pursuing an agenda of deeper integration with the U.S. Canada and Mexico, sacrificing Canadian American sovereignty ? Why is he pursuing this hidden agenda without telling Canadians Americans about it?"

Asked whether the deal is paving the way for a continental integration, Martin said: "What we are talking about here is not a big bang, we're talking but big progress."

Comrade Jack is a pure-blood socialist. The Liberals are socialists on the take.

Like this?
***

Canada's opposition Conservative Party, fresh from its weekend policy convention, is preparing to mount sharper attacks on a minority Liberal government that it sees as tired and discredited.

No, the Liberals are actually not the far left, that's the NDP. The Liberals are left of centre but not as much so.

Giggle. These Canadians seem more and more insane every time they open their mouths. But alas, I suspect that what's really behind this is just that the liberal media wants to slime Bush, and it thinks that portraying the Canadian viewpoint in this way accomplishes that.

Another possibility is that the Canadian media is quickly becoming the last bastion of truly unadulterated liberal bildge.

I interpret his remark like this:

Its hard enough to maintain socialism Canada, let alone taking on the cost of convergence with Mexico to bring their standard of living up to the one Canada has.

Nice! But Ontario and Quebec decide the government alone - so nothing's bound to change with a new election.

I wish Quebec would seperate.

The Liberals are "center-left"; the NPD are "moonbat left"; the Conservatives are "center-right". The Conservatives, led by Stephen Harper, have a chance at toppling the Liberals which have been in power for over a decade. The Conservatives are willing to talk about BMD, are anti- gay marriage and are pro-trade. They are a somewhat left of today's Republicans, but are considered to be radicals by the media establishment and have been relentlsessly demonized in the press.

I should also note that the organizational prowess of the Conservatives in Canada pales to that of the marketing and organizational tactics that sprung from Rove's brain. We have no similar political genius up North at present(unfortunately). The Liberals and the Conservatives are each getting about 33% of the vote according to latest polls. So, whenever Martin yaps and dithers he has to appear as non-commital as possible so as not to irritate parts of his anti-American base.

No, I think they are finding that the painful wrenching Al Gore talked about in the early years of the Clinton adminstration (he was talking about the lowering of our standards to be more compatible with the rest of the world) is too painful.

Our president is fully on board the "vision" for hemispheric integration. If you listen to his remarks you will find he talks about it.

Canada's left? The whole dang country is "left".

Except parts of Alberta, eh?

Not just Alberta. Maybe 20-25% of B.C. where I live is practically Republican. But, yes, we are the minority in a province dominated by leftist moonbats.

"Can the president tell us why he will be pursuing an agenda of deeper integration with the Canada and Mexico, sacrificing American sovereignty ? Why is he pursuing this hidden agenda without telling Americans about it?"

Because he is part of the elite. While us ordinary people think that North America is made up of three nations, the elites understand that North America is actually just a market full of laborers and consumers to be exploited.

Things like borders, constitutions, democracy make it harder for the President's rich friends to fully exploit the market.

If we did, that would give Candadians and Mexicans inalienable rights too. I don't think that it is in the plan for these citizens to have a guarantee of freedom(even though ours is being sorely tried) with their respective governments.
