Lawmakers in Canada appear to be paving the way for "deep integration" with the U.S. and Mexico with a proposed measure that advances the controversial Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America promoted by the Bush administration, notes WND columnist Jerome Corsi.
It's an issue Corsi has fully investigated for his newest book, "The Late Great USA."
The conservative minority government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper is pressing for "The Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement", which would enable a Canadian company to challenge laws in provinces that block the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Murray Dobbin, a Vancouver author and journalist critical of SPP, argued in an article titled, "The Plan to Disappear Canada – 'Deep Integration' comes out of the shadows," the secretive trilateral bureaucratic working groups organized under the auspices of SPP are "harmonizing" virtually every important area of public policy with the U.S., including "defense, foreign policy, energy (they get security, we get greenhouse gases), culture, social policy, tax policy, drug testing and safety and much more."
The proposed legislation would allow companies that believe provincial laws and regulations harm their NAFTA rights to demand up to $5 million in compensatory damages for each violation.
When fully implemented, Dobbin argues, "TILMA would allow challenges to the location and size of commercial signs, environmental set-backs for developers, zoning, building height restrictions, pesticide bans, and green space requirements in urban areas. It also would allow challenges to restrictions on private health clinics, halt stricter rules for nursing homes and almost certainly overturn the current ban on junk food in British Columbia schools."
The controversy over SPP broke into the mainstream in Canada last month when Tory Member of Parliament Leon Benoit walked out of a House of Commons International Trade Committee hearing in protest to a leftist professor who wanted to air his objections to "deep integration" with the U.S.
The professor, Gordon Laxer of the University of Alberta, was about to explain to the committee his theory that SPP involves a U.S. grab of Canada's energy resources when Benoit adjourned the meeting and bolted out of the room, preventing the Canadian mainstream press from hearing and reporting the professor's arguments.
Laxer, nevertheless, published his testimony in the nationally read Globe and Mail newspaper.
Laxar has objected to the closed-door meeting roundtables of Canadian business and corporate elite held in Calgary by the Washington-based think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies, or CSIS, as part of its "North American Future 2025 Project."
WND previously reported two activist groups, the Council of Canadians and the Coalition for Water Aid, are protesting that the CSIS research project involves a massive grab by the U.S. of Canadian fresh water, estimated to be one-fifth of the world's supply.
WND also has reported the CSIS, chaired by former Sen. Sam Nunn and guided by trustees including Richard Armitage, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Harold Brown, William Cohen and Henry Kissinger, is planning to present its "North American Future 2025" final report to the governments of Mexico, Canada and the U.S. by Sept. 30. The report is expected to recommend the benefits of integrating the U.S., Mexico and Canada into one political economic and security bloc.
Canadian activists are preparing to protest the third summit meeting of the SPP, scheduled for Aug. 20 and 21 in Montebello, Quebec.
You’re confusing the International Oligarchical Hierarchy with sovereign nations.
The future envisioned by the CFR is one controlled by international corporations and bankers.
That’s what I’m going to have to do. Oh, yeah....that’s why I feel like getting right on top of that tonight, just for you.
You betcha!
Not on your life.
You’ve already shown yourself to be willfully ignorant....and I have no intentions of wasting my time on that, for you, tonight. It will be done, but now at MY leisure.
"I posted the proof/evidence before but you refused to read it." Indeed.
already did...and you REFUSED to read it.
Ah...but it doesn’t and didn’t. Likely why you refused to read it the first time I posted it. It contains information which you can’t refute.
I return to what I said then, you’re just talking crap. It’s just as likely I “refused” to read it because you didn’t post it . . . just like now.
He'd better get busy if he's going to abolish the Constitution and merge the world's largest and most sophisticated economy with one basket case and one minor leaguer before his term ends. No doubt the dems will want to give him this once victory before he finishes - legacy and all. I'm sure they'll also want to join him in destroying our currency, the reserve currency for the entire world, by doing away with the dollar in favor of the "Amero" which will be worth a fraction of what the dollar was once the other currencies are absorbed.
Yes, it's all making sense now. I can see why the globalist-socialist corporations would want this. Destroying our economy, the locomotive for the world and the most lucrative market on the planet, in favor of some NAU welfare state nonsense without any sovereignty, would do wonders for American business by endearing them to their shareholders as earnings and market values plummet.
There has to be something in this about stealing our precious bodily fluids. No conspiracy is worth beans unless they're coming for our vital fluids too.
Then go back and review your own pings and prove I’m lying. Otherwise, you’ve no room to talk.
Prove you don’t have posts from me on this very matter, from about mid-2006. They ARE there. Prove they aren’t. NOW.
>>And how are those unelected elites
>>going to be divided up?
What makes you think they have to be “divided up”?
Au contraire, my friend. You can't make up some BS and then ask someone else to sniff it out. I have all the room in the world (being a globalist, and all).
Let me give you a small roadmap of how this works:
nicmarlo claims A.
nicmarlo proves A.
You claim I didn’t post it; it’s in your “my comments”.
You refuse to look. And I won’t play any further with you tonight, because you refused to read what was posted the last time.....just like you won’t look now on your “my comments”. You claim they’re not there. Prove it.
Say, I’m getting ready for bed. Can one of you go through my comments during the middle of 2006 and find the one where I refused to read something? Thanks in advance.

You've posted a total of 260 threads and 30,804 replies.
and I’ve narrowed it down to about mid-2006.
Got a problem with the date? or you think I’m pulling that out of my hat, too?
I think you’re pulling it out of your hat. What do I win?
I thought they already controlled the world? Why do they also need the NAU?
One world
Whoa, its our world
Yeah, yeah, one world
Whoa, its our world
Yeah, yeah
When I walk on the street I feel glad I was born
Music comes aringin out of every door
I see faces I know and they give me a sign
We got something between us and it feels all right
I see Chrissy the clipper, she colors my hair
Micky and Margaret make the clothes that we wear
And there's Gene who runs the club where we dance all night
When you live in our world everythings all right
Politicians and dictators and the guys with the dough
They think they run the world but they just dont know
cause down here on the street we got it under control
From Berlin to San Francisco, from New York to Tokyo
Gotta love Utopia.
Guess you’ll have to wait on my leisure to tell ya that, too.
I thought of another reason why I might refuse to read something. I tend to avoid material written by leftist kooks. There are other websites for that sort of stuff, if you’re interested. I wish the folks at World Net Daily felt the same way. But they’re the ones who published Corsi’s book in the first place, so they can’t be too choosy.
