Tories storm out of meeting on sharing energy with U.S

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

[Badeye]

“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.

So there’s an UP side to Global Warming?

[misterrob]

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

[ckilmer]

The Bush Administration has gone off the deep end with NAU. I think it comes from hanging out with billionaires and EU officials at places like Davos.

In any case, its not just energy. Water is another place where the administration has gone luny tunes.

[Badeye]

‘So there’s an UP side to Global Warming?’

That myth has nothing to do with the laughable assertion Canada will leave its citizens ‘in the cold’ via a sale of energy to the United States.

[Badeye]

‘The Bush Administration has gone off the deep end with NAU.’

Sorry, I don’t buy the fringe view concerning NAU.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

If Laxer actually said this during testimony, I agree with Benoit’s ending of the testimony.

This clearly shows an agenda (fear, like all good liberals use) and is irrelevant. After being over-ruled, he should have moved immediately to the next witness, not acted like a baby.

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.

Sorry, I don’t buy the fringe view concerning NAU.

Then, what do you buy? Or should I say, luego, que compra Ud.?

Thats how I see it.

Sure it is just because it hasn't happened yet. Five years ago, I might have agreed with you. But now after China is importing most of our food, with very little inspected, I can see anything happening from melamine poisoning to anything else. Socialism just doesn't work. It never has and never will no matter what label (SPP),( NAFTA). Well, gotta run. Checking chicken labels today.

“Sorry, I don’t buy the fringe view concerning NAU.

Right, because I don’t buy this fringe view, I simply must be what? An ‘open border’ nutcase?

Knee jerking will hurt you, I suggest you avoid it.

And, btw, I don’t ‘habla’ sorry to crush your hopes.

Nothing you cite here has anything to do with energy being sold by Canada to the United States. I’m concerned about our dependence on China for wheatglutton as much as anybody, due to my dogs, and my concern they might be screwing up the food you and I consume as well.

But that has nothing at all to do with this topic. Just my opinion.

Translated - ya' got nuttin'. Instead of stating a position on the benefits of free trade gone wild, you attack.

How'd you know I need arthroscopy? I gotta find a way to turn this web cam off...

And, btw, I don’t ‘habla’ sorry to crush your hopes.

Better learn.

These people are not conservatives. They infiltrated conservative groups so that they could control the debate and assume control over the funding of the organizations. Think about how much money the Republican party has to influence government. If you were a crooked globalist with no moral underpinnings, you would think nothing of invading the party and by stealth and manipulation, usurp the power from the grassroots.

This is exactly why you see so-called Republicans like Arnold et al, who clearly do not believe in conservative values, get the support of the party. It is all about deconstructing institutions, as has been done with the family and the church. America could fall, because we have not been vigilant in protecting our bedrock institutions.

You launched a personal attack, not me. No reason. This is kookery associated with fringe websites. I’m surprised its here at FR.

Very surprised.

As a matter of policy, any sovereign nation should want to be as independent on foreign supplies of strategic resources as it possibly can be. That's just prudent, for any number of reasons.

For example, if conditions warrant, it enables your diplomats to tell a neighboring country's diplomats to go soak their heads.

[hedgetrimmer]

No NAU?

The US doesn't have 'ministers', yet they are making US policies.
