First NAFTA now this. I first wrote about this in my Blog a few months ago, now other leftists are picking up the flag of opposition. So please take a look and make note of the upcoming events planned. Thanks. Ya Basta!


Security and Prosperity Partnership and the North American Union

-- Canada integrating with the U.S.A.

As some of you may know, Canada is in the process of
aligning its policies with those of the USA. Very quietly.
Without public debate. It is all part of the Security and
Prosperity Partnership (SPP) signed in Waco, Texas, 2005.
This is not a left-right issue -- Martin signed the accord,
Harper is ardently continuing it. This seems to be a
corporate-driven venture.

What does SPP mean for Canadians?

We are adopting US immigration, security and foreign
policy. Commits Canada to supporting US-lead wars on
terror and increased military spending. Our military is now
led by USA's Northcom. We now have no-fly lists. We are
likely to have to accept fingerprinting and other biometrics.
We will be required to treat immigrants and refugees
differently.

Our resources will be proportionally shared. Huge areas
of the US are short of water. Our government is currently
moving toward bulk exporting of water. Oil export will
increase (now 63%) due to 'proportional sharing'.

Lowered environmental and health protection. NAFTA
already allows corporations to sue our federal governments
when their regulations stand in the way of profit. SPP
allows corporations to sue provincial and municipal
governments -- which is where many safety standards rest.

Loss of democracy -- it is intended that Canada, USA and
Mexico will merge into a North American Union (NAU),
having one currency, the Amero. The Union will be
overseen by 10 non-elected corporate CEOs from each
country.

Accelerating privatisation of health care and other public
services.

President Bush is arriving in Montebello, Quebec this
Summer -- August 19-21st -- meeting with Calderon,
Harper and the 30 CEOs for the next stage in this
integration. If this matters to you, join the demonstrations
in your city (1:00 pm at City Hall, Ottawa, Sunday 19th
August) or at Montebello 19-21st.

We need to consider these events, and their effects for
future generations.

If this is all new, you might be thinking, "How can this
be?!" If you think this is a 'conspiracy theory', go to
the 2006 budget listed on CBC news

tp://www.cbc.ca/news/background/budget2006/docs/budget06/bp/bpc3de.htm
Scroll around 40% down to the SPP section. If this is all
conspiracy theory, the government has already spent a few
hundred million dollars on a &#39;conspiracy.&#39;

If this is new to you, you might consider educating yourself
-- and your friends and family. Canadians have a right to
know what has been is planned for them.
