U.S. Military interference and occupation on Canadian soil in Québec
Has anybody heard anything about this?


CBC and other Canadian media cover-up U.S. Military interference and occupation on Canadian soil in Québec

The defence of Canada through Parliament muzzled in the New American Union agenda

by John Stokes

The U.S. Military has, in violation of legitimate Canadian law, blocked the Council of Canadians from holding meetings in Quebec to rally Canadians against the planned take-over of Canada, by U.S. ultra-right wing interests.

Connie Fogal, Leader of the Canadian Action Party, says, "So much for conspiracy theories! Now we have the ugly truth fully exposed. The U.S. military really does now run Canada."

The U.S. military, is on Canadian soil, forbidding the Municipality of Papineauville from renting a hall to the Council of Canadians, who planned a public meeting to be held the day before the "Three Amigos" meet in Montebello, Quebec, Canada August 20, 21, 2007, to plan their next moves in the dismantling of their respective countries of Canada, U.S. and Mexico.

1. This sounds a bit outlandish to me (pardon the pun), so...
What kind of fact checking is going on here? How credible is this report?

Time to do some more research I guess....

3. It sounds a bit outlandish to me as well and I was hoping someone
could shed some light on the organization and the credibility of the report. I haven't found anything else but haven't done a lot of research yet.

4. More sources:


Toronto Star: http://www.thestar.com/News/article/235060

The RCMP, the Sûreté du Québec and the U.S. Army will not allow the municipality to rent the Centre Communautaire de Papineauville for the Aug. 19 forum.

Council organizer Brent Patterson calls it "deplorable" that authorities are preventing the panel of writers, academics and parliamentarians to share their concerns with Canadians. The council says it has since been told authorities will be enforce a 25-kilometre security perimeter around the meeting site.




Global Research: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=6313

"And , Canada's silent loyal opposition has meanwhile been neither loyal nor an opposition ! US military on Canadian soil ordering Canadians did not happen overnight!"

Connie Fogal, leader of the Canadian Action Party, urges all Canadians to say NO to the criminalization of dissent on our land.

She pointed out, "So they put up a fence! So they impose a 25 kilometer no go zone! So they halt vehicles with five or more people in them! So we be on the edge propelling the power of our inner energy to stare at them through their barriers! We can just stand and stare!There is something very ludicrous about three leaders of alleged free countries hiding from their citizens."




Ottawa Sun: http://ottsun.canoe.ca/News/National/2007/07/15/4340574-sun.html

The group says it's organizing "effective, direct confrontations" during the summit.

The goal of the group is to shut down the meetings, or at least disrupt them in some significant way. But the group knows its limitations.

"We're realistic," Sawyer said. "We know what we're up against: Thousands of officers and the U.S. military."


Looks like our military is carrying out active duties on Canadian soil.

2. I've heard of the SPP but didn't realize it had gone this far yet.
I guess Canadians should be as worried as Americans about the *ush crime family.

5. What rubbish.
Essentially, the Council of Canadians and other such Canadian groups is being blocked by local police forces in Quebec, which is being run by U.S. military commanders and personnel, operating on Canadian soil.

I don't think so.

That statement in itself, if true, would be a bombshell here in Canada.

Yes, the Council of Canadians may have been prevented from using the hall, but to extrapolate that the US military is directly responsible, is a load of BS.

Where's the proof? All I see is a lot of outlandish speculation and very few facts.

And to lump Elizabeth May, the leader of the Green Party as a "sellout" along with every other political leader is sheer fantasy. She doesn't even have a seat in parliament yet, and the Greens are politically aligned with the CoC.

I've never heard of this author, but I think he's trying for the title of "Doug Thomson of the North".

8. American security organizations always get a say when the President comes to visit.

That being said... Papineauville is far enough away from Montebello that the demonstration shouldn't have been banned. And Montebello is an estate like resort - easy to make secure. My guess is this group and these "talks" have been under the radar so far and the powers that be in Washington want to keep it that way. Good luck with that!! The "meeting" has already generated lots of talk because of the ban on the demonstrators.
