[R-G] Canadians Completely Unaware of Looming North American Union

[Macdonald Stainsby]

This article is a great follow up to the piece titled "Alberta
Distortions" posted by Anthony Fenton to RG yesterday. THe fact is and
remains: after the FTA, NAFTA and similar measures, the energy-- at
whatever horrid return-- inside Canada now belongs equally to all of North
America, making it illegal to produce even a Canadian national reserve. Of
course, the facts of peak oil, dwindling returns elsewhere, and far far
more play into it-- but the SPP is the brainchild of the same
administration in the US (along with the Liberals/Martin north and Fox
south in the time frame spoken of here) that decided to use the tar sands
to try and overcome the glut in energy North America is facing. This
"union" is correctly derided as undermining every conceivable right there
is, but more importantly is about maintaining a collapsing US/Canadian
economic structure. It is the vast destrcution of the tar sands that are
leading the hyper destruction of labour rights; Oil and similar energy is
the one thing the imperialists on both side of the 49th cannot do without.
This SPP will give them the leverage to get that oil out of the earth even
long after the labour dried up (last year).

We are watching the US Department of Energy destroy land on a level truly
incomprehensible, destroy what remains of the 1982 Charter, to beat peak
oil-- defying peak energy and peak labour to do it. The SPP greases the
wheels.

Canadians Completely Unaware of Looming North American Union
Bush and Calderon to Visit Canada

In just over a month’s time, on August 20, the most powerful president in
the world will be arriving in Montebello, Quebec for a two-day conference.
President George W. Bush will be meeting with Stephen Harper and their
Mexican counterpart, Felipe Calderon. So far, the silence from the
Canadian and American media has been deafening.

Talk to 90% of people on the street and they won’t know about this
upcoming conference, and if by a slim chance they do, they won’t know the
purpose of the meeting or why the leaders of Canada, United States and
Mexico are meeting in the dog days of summer under what amounts to a veil
of secrecy.

So, what’s this upcoming conference all about, and why are the newspapers,
radio and television keeping silent about it?

The purpose of the upcoming conference is to ratify the Security and
Prosperity Partnership of North America, which was initiated by Bush,
Martin and Fox in 2005 in Waco, Texas. Essentially, this so-called
‘partnership’ will result in what the politicians refer to as ‘continental
integration’-newspeak for a North American Union- and basically a
harmonization of 100’s of regulations, policies and laws.

In layman’s terms, it means that once this ‘partnership’ has been ratified
which is a fait accompli; we will be following in the footsteps of the
European Union. It will mean that Canada will become part of the North
American Union by 2010, and that our resources, agricultural, health and
environment issues, to name a few, will be controlled not by Canada, but
by the government of the North American Union.

A huge ‘NAFTA’ highway, one quarter of a mile wide, is already being built
in Texas, where private land is being expropriated, and will eventually
reach the Manitoba border.

Water will be the ‘issue’ of this century, as more than 25 states in the
U.S. are currently in desperate need. Where do you think they will get the
water they need?

The United States is already guaranteed 60% of our natural gas resources
from NAFTA, which mean that even during emergencies when we need energy,
we will have to import it, while we are forced to export gas to the U.S.
This is just one example of how Canada is being shortchanged, and it’s
only going to get worse.

Why has there been absolutely NO public consultation on the biggest issue
(North American Union) facing Canadians since Confederation? Why isn’t Guy
Lauzon, our local MP for Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry, holding
town hall meetings, bringing in cabinet ministers and explaining how the
emerging North American Union will affect our Canadian way of life? Ask
the citizens of Canada for their feedback. Isn’t that how democracy is
supposed to work?

Folks, I suggest that Mr. Lauzon isn’t even aware of the SPP or the North
American Union, which explains why the Conservative government has denied
all Canadians information to which they are entitled. If he does have
something to say about it, then let him raise the issue in our riding.

Furthermore, the example of the North American Union illustrates that our
government claims to be democratic, but in fact, does it act like one, or
does it prefer to make the big decisions at committee level behind closed
doors, while masking its real intentions?

The ratification of the SPP, and the emergence of the North American Union
have been organized entirely by government committees and private
enterprise. I refer readers to my website at www.realitycheck.typepad.com

for further information on the North American Union.

If our citizenry allows the North American Union to come into existence,
then our way of life will change drastically, for the years to come. With
privatization of our resources, increased foreign ownership, and a
Canadian government with less and less authority, our children and
grandchildren will be come ‘North Americans’ and our quality of life will
drastically decline.

The founding fathers of Canada must be rolling over in their graves.
