Here’s what I think:
There are exteral threats coalescing in various ways. Particularly the Islamic caliphate and Asian power bloc (China/Russia becoming more united). Meanwhile, we have the internal threat to our sovereignty that is the NAU. We can argue whether it’s a threat or not, though, since all these external forces need to be met with some kind of unified terrirorial structure. There’s no doubt that our alliances ae being redefined.
My comment about the Patriot Act, which I regard as an eminent threat to the Bill of Rights as much as McCain/Feingold, was a parrallel. 911 caused a shift in thinking among the average guy that made such a law acceptable. Along the way, it was pitched as PART of a plan to secure the US against our enemies, foreign and domestic. The reality is, the Patriot Act was as far as it ever got, since the borders were never secured and decisively winning the war was subjugated to economic concerns and PC sensitivities.
My question was, ‘what will it take for people to accept the loss of sovereignty and the unification of North America?’ The answer lies in your post 24- the external threats that the MSM is ignoring, as much as they’re ignoring the NAU. If we suffer another ‘incident’, the ensuing paradigm shift will make way for this.
And the people at Montebello know it.

And, although Judicial Watch has said that they will file FOIA to find out what those evil businessmen are up to, we(the globo-phobes) can find, on the internet, all of NACC's recommedations for 2007, 2008, and 2010.
Not necessarily. I think it was allowed to progress, for various reasons. Not just the 911 incident, but terrorism in general since 1973. (watch ‘The Road to 911’. That’s what I think.)
Was it used by internal control freaks to further undermine the sovereignty of free people? Yep. Did America deserve to have our freedoms undermined? In many ways, yes. As a culture, we worry about Hollywood morons more than anything of real substance. The founders uttered dark prophecies about this.
Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. We are asleep at the switch.
Candor, WMA was replaced by :
The Emergencies Act is an Act of the Government of Canada to authorize the taking of special temporary measures to ensure safety and security during national emergencies and to amend other Acts in consequence there of the Parliament of Canada.
It received Royal Assent on July 21, 1988, replacing the War Measures Act.
The Emergencies Act differs from the War Measures Act in two important ways:
1. A declaration of an emergency by the Cabinet must be reviewed by Parliament
2. Any temporary laws made under the Act are subject to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Thus any attempt by the government to suspend the civil rights of Canadians, even in an emergency, will be subject to the “reasonable and justified” test under section 1 of the Charter.
“why did 25 members of the House send a letter to the President asking for more “Transparency” regarding the SPP and NAFTA?”
That’s a very good question. Eventhough Congress is constantly trying to get the Admin to reveal their bag of tricks, why would they bother with conspiracy theories??
LMAO!
We Canadians who believe that we are superior to the US in areas of personal freedom simply need to know the truth of the matter, before casting stones at the "Patriot Act. We could have its equivalent in Canda so fast that it could happen in 24 hours , subject to parliamentary review, but by then , boots would be on the ground and troops on the move.
Smugness often is a precursor to ignorance, as I have found in my own experience.
Gatun,
Is there anything you can tell us about the Chinese Cmpany that now manages ( controls) the Panama Canal. I am strategically curious about how they could prevent the US
Navy Atlantic Fleet from getting quickly into the Pacific.
I think that is true. There are even border checkpoints with customs agents where the roads cross the borders.
Churchill and northern Manitoba needs a 2-lane highway (currently served by only a railroad for part of the way) but no more.
Except in the urban areas, a 4-lane freeway is adequate along the corridor north of Kansas City to Winnipeg. The traffic counts range from about 5,000 to 20,000 along there.
Oh please. That's just a conspiracy theory! < /sarc>
It's tough to maintain a real road in the frozen North. I took a trip to Moosonee long ago, and the last miles were by train, and Churchill is further North and really in the tundra ....................... FRegards
The bigger question is, would any of it get past Texas?
