Canada/USA military??
Deal that could lead to U.S. domination of Canada flying under media radar
Business CEOs, faceless bureaucrats deciding future of North America behind closed doors

Friday, August 17, 2007

Canada Day is long past, and a parade is hardly what you'd call hard news--but work with me here.
--
The Canadian military put in an appearance, but where were the real representatives of Canada, our true masters? Where was the float bearing the CEOs and political insiders?
--
The Security and Prosperity Agreement between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico aims for a more integrated North American economy and security region. If that's news to you, join the club. Apparently the vast majority of the Canadian and American public is in the dark on this one. The SPP was deemed one of the top 25 stories in 2006 by Project Censored, a respected academic body devoted to ferreting out big stories that fail to go prime time or make the front page. Even the Project Censored story, "U.S. plans for hemispheric domination include Canada," failed to get national media attention.

The harmonization includes resources, agricultural, health and environmental measures, along with the merging of U.S. and Canada military under Northcom. This is not some paranoid future projection from conspiracy-mongers, it's happening right now. In 2005, when reporters asked then Canadian ambassador to the U.S. Frank McKenna about Canadian participation in Star Wars, he replied, "We're part of it now." According to Project Censored, "It has also been noted that Canadian personnel are taking part in large scale American operations space war games to prepare for combat in orbit."

At the second summit of the SPP in 2006 in Cancun, Mexico, the SSP's official trinational working group came into being: the North American Competitiveness Council, comprising 30 CEOs from some of North America's largest companies. According to the Council of Canadians, "the NACC has been mandated to set priorities for the SPP and to drive the integration process through changes in government in all three countries."

1. Hey, Canada, if we get a unified monetary system
could you insist that "In God We Trust" not be put on the money?

I've always wondered that the religionists think it's a good thing, what with Jesus having thrown the money changers OUT of the temple.

2. well, we have tried at least twice militarily to capture Canada
once during the revolution and again during the war of 1812. both times the canadians refused and kicked us out. We even tried to get the British to hand it over during the Treaty of Paris. I guess we should've gone right to the colonial CEOs of the time and we'd have had it by now. :eyes:

4. It was nice while it lasted...
... but you didn't really think we'd allow you to have a functional, non-profit health care system to taunt us with, did you?

Plus as the climate changes, and the Midwest becomes a creosote desert and the groundwater dries up, we'll be needing some new acreage -- like what's been covered by permafrost in northern Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan for a zillion years and is now exposed by the magic of your very good southern neighbors' addiction to burning carbon.

And the water... You should have thought about US needs before choosing to inhabit an area with rivers, streams, lakes and groundwater galore. Careless of you not to factor in the wants and desires of your very good neighbors down here in JeebusLand (tm).

And for the ironically challenged... :sarcasm:
