And you feel that way all because I have the audacity to question you if you can direct me to some specific areas of the SPP that you find bothersome, instead of muttering some pablum about “incrementalism.”

Audacity? You’ve been peeing on everyone for the better part of 2 years. No matter what points of fact people bring up. Arguing with you is a waste of time.
Here is how it will be done:
Pickard’s article is definitely worth reading. Here are some highlights:
“The elites of the three NAFTA countries (Canada, the United States, and Mexico) have been aggressively moving forward to build a new political and economic entity. A ‘trinational merger’ is underway that leaps beyond the single market that NAFTA envisioned and, in many ways, would constitute a single state, called simply, ‘North America.’ Contrary to NAFTA, whose tenets were laid out in a single negotiated treaty subjected to at least cursory review by the legislatures of the participating countries, NAFTA Plus is more the elites shared vision of what a merged future will look like. Their ideas are being implemented through the signing of ‘regulations,’ not subject to citizens review. This vision may initially have been labeled NAFTA Plus, but the name gives a mistaken impression of what is at hand, since there will be no single treaty text, no unique label to facilitate keeping tabs. Perhaps for this reason, some civil society groups are calling the phenomenon by another name, the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPPNA), an official sobriquet for the summits held by the three chief executives to agree on the future of ‘North America.’ The building of a new North American space is rapidly progressing, yet lacking civil society consultation and legislative oversight. By doing away with treaties or accords, the three chief executives are achieving deeper integration through NAFTA Plus by signing “regulations,” thus foregoing the bother of seeing their plans bogged down in one of the legislatures.”
Thanks Ol Dan. I have personally seen the wage suppression first hand.
I have learned through my own and many others’ experience
exactly how alien life forms gut the blue collar jobs while also pushing compensation down.
I used to tout the “re-education” as a means to overcome the loss of blue collar jobs but now it seems even jobs for the educated and re-educated are shipped out or cheaper folks are shipped in.
SOrry folks I didn’t read the entire debate, just want to add that we tin-foil-hatters are not just a USA
phenomena; we have recruits north and south of the border too.
Actually, I’ve been here since Jan. 21, 1999. So if you can’t be bothered to support your argument beyond mouthing generalities, better to be accurate.
Not true. You’re a 19 year old kid from Weehawken, NJ.
And I started posting here at 11? Nice.
You still sound like it too.
