At that point, Tory MP Leon Benoit, chair of the Commons Standing Committee on International Trade which was holding the SPP hearings, ordered Laxer to halt his testimony [ concerns about the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), a 2005 accord by the U.S., Canada and Mexico to streamline economic and security rules across the continent.], saying it was not relevant.
The "free traitors" world-wide, do not want public debate on their agenda

“The firestorm erupted within minutes of testimony by University of Alberta professor Gordon Laxer that Canadians will be left “to freeze in the dark” if the government forges ahead with plans to integrate energy supplies across North America. “
The fact this statement is ludicrously false shouldn’t be overlooked by anyone.

We also provide defacto military defense to Canada which is something that most people don’t consider.

The "free traitors" world-wide, do not want public debate on their agenda Isn't it strange that the conservatives are the ones doing this? This has nothing to do with conserving any kind of sovereignty, regardless of what country is being discussed.

I have to agree with the Liberal party on this one. Why should the Canadian Conservative government guarantee an energy supply to the U.S. when it won’t do the same for Canada? This is an issue that will resonate with Canadians.

"It's shocking the extent to which the Conservative party will go to cover up information about the SPP," says NDP MP Peter Julian, who also sits on the committee. Afterall, we do have a lot in common with Canada....they even think this SPP is crappola.

Canada has huge surpluses of energy and is a big net exporter. The idea that Canada will be "left in the dark" is just nuts.
This sounds like more of the "North American Union" crap we hear down here, which is also nonsense.

The SPP—doing the jobs that freedom-loving Americans and Canadians won’t do.
