Open wide cuz all this is gonna be hard to swallow if your on the YES side of this SPP straight jacket the governance systems of Canada, the U.S.A. and Mexico are currently finalizing in Quebec.

In Europe members who join the union [EU] must bring their standards up to par with the rest of the members. While here in North America we will be dropping our standards to fit the those of the other partners.
A bad bad deal unless your a corporation or you jingle when you jangle...

The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, signed in March
2005 by Canada, Mexico and the United States, has a familiar sound and feel.
It 's remarkably like the North American Security and Prosperity Agenda
launched in January of 2003 by the Canadian Council of Chief Executives
(CCCE),Canada 's premier big-business lobby group. Security, Canadians are
being told, trumps all other concerns :if we want the border to stay open,
we will have to help build a security perimeter around North America and
support the U.S.'s military, energy and economic interests abroad. The pact
signed in Waco, Texas is, in effect, the political "good housekeeping seal
of approval "for a new "big idea "engineered to please the corporate sector
of all three countries. It contains no concrete action to improve the lives
of the continent 's ordinary citizens. Here are the reasons why Canadians
should oppose this initiative:

1.THE CLOSER WE ARE TO THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION 'S SECURITY AGENDA, THE
HARDER IT WILL BE TO MAINTAIN AN INDEPENDENT FOREIGN POLICY.

While public opinion forced Paul Martin to refuse participation in missile
defence, CCCE head Tom d 'Aquino says missile defence should be revived in a
future Parliament.

2. CANADIANS 'CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS WILL BE COMPROMISED BY FURTHER
HARMONIZATION

WITH THE U.S. The Safe Third Country Agreement, signed by the U.S. and
Canada in December 2004, requires Canada to turn back any refugee claimants
who enter the country through the U.S. Anti-terrorism legislation as well as
"security certicates "allow the government to detain non-citizens on the
basis of secret evidence. The new Partnership would go much further with its
biometric identication and a North American common entry system, further
jeopardizing Canadians ' civil rights..

3. CANADA WILL LOSE WHAT LITTLE CONTROL WE HAVE LEFT OVER OUR ENERGY
SUPPLIES.

The Partnership calls for an energy security pact that will cement a
continental energy regime, ensuring that Canada will lose what little
control we have left over our oil and natural gas.It would also open the
door to an integrated electricity grid. Remember the "great blackout "of
August 2003?There could be more with an integrated grid.

4. IT COULD OPEN THE DOOR TO A CONTINENTAL WATER MARKET.

While water is not mentioned in the pact, it is clearly on the table. In
leaked minutes of an October meeting of the Task Force on the Future of
North America, co-sponsored by the CCCE, the Mexican Council on Foreign
Relations and the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations, participants (including
Tom d 'Aquino and John Manley) agreed that "no item, including Canadian
water ...is 'off the table '...but it will simply require more time to ripen
politically."

5. A NORTH AMERICAN TRADE BLOC COULD PUT CANADIAN SOCIAL PROGRAMS ON THE
CHOPPING BLOCK.

The CCCE recommends many steps that would set the scene for a North American
trade bloc; they include requiring a common passport and tariffs and
treating all North American citizens as domestic investors in each country.
Under this scenario, Canada would most surely lose its NAFTA exemptions for
health, education and social security.

Summary and Part 1:
The Metamorphosis and Sabotage of Canada by Our Own Government-
The North American Union

Summary:

The North American continent is being transformed from three sovereign
nations (Canada, USA, Mexico) into one regional corporate power base, the
North American Union. Unlike the creation of the European Union, there is no
public political/ academic discourse on the merits, or pros and cons of a
North American Union building up to a vote within each nation as to the wish
of the people to join such a union. Instead the union is being created by
stealth, is already well on its way to fruition, and is being imposed on us
by our own elected representatives and government with no opposition.

The driving forces are corporate and military. The Chief Executive Officers
of the most powerful corporations operating in the three countries want this
union and have been working for some time devising their strategies and
goals. Their facilitators are first, unelected officials and bureaucrats who
move easily between corporations and government; second, former elected
officials like John Manley , former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada; third,
the heads of the three nations, Martin, Bush, and Fox; and finally, the
governments and the rest of the elected members who apparently just rubber
stamp what is put in front of them by the unelected officials- few
questions, if any asked.

The ultimate enforcement mechanism for the North American Union is a police
state.

The tools for the police state are "anti-terrorist" laws.

Anti Terrorist laws are a ruse to strip the citizens of civil liberties in
order to prevent dissent against the police state.

The Orwellian justification is "security", "safety".

Part one deals with the North American Union of Canada USA and Mexico. It is
being created by the corporate side under the North American Task Force, and
the military side by the Binational Military Planning group.

Part Two deals with -Laws Arrangements and Agreements all of which throw
away our sovereignty, independence, and our civil liberties.

1. The Canada -U.S. Smart Border Declaration with a 30 point action plan
signed Dec 12,2001
2. The Public Safety Act, 2002 with despotic powers to certain Cabinet
Ministers
3. The Anti Terrorism Act currently under review
4.The North American Security and Prosperity Initiative (NASPI)- a report
released January 2003 of the project of the Canadian Council of Chief
Executives(CCCE) to develop a strategy for shaping Canada's future within
North America and Beyond
5. The Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement signed by Bush and
Martin in March of 2005
6. 40 Point Smart Regulation Action Plan
7. The Report of Ministers to the Leaders -SPP- North America June 2005

Part Three deals with the effect of all this bad law, some history, and what
to do about it.

The Metamorphosis and Sabotage of Canada by our Own Government

Part 1- North American Union

The Metamorphosis of Canada, USA and Mexico into the North American Union

Canadian patriots have been focusing on the wrong threat- annexation to the
U.S.A with no voting rights, only colony status like a Gibraltar. The real
plan emerges. The fact is that we are now already metamorphosing into
something else- A North American Union comprised of Canada, U.S.A.,and
Mexico. The goal is an internally borderless North America rid of the
constitutional structures and rules of the separate nations that created and
protected the democratic fabric of the respective peoples.

This Union is planned, directed, organized and coordinated by unelected,
unaccountable people of the military /industrial complex with a few academic
apologists thrown in for good measure. It is being facilitated by all three
elected governments. This is the same military/industrial complex that
General Eisenhower warned against.

This group is creating a despotic regime for the pursuit of their interest
(rapacious greed and power) which is diametrically opposed to the needs and
interests of the citizens in all three countries. Their plan is to make all
of North America their power base acting in their interest only. Forget the
people

The two bodies (one corporate, one military) which have been functioning for
some time to create this treasonous union are well advanced in that
formation. They are: the Canada-U.S.A-Mexico task force and The Binational
Military Planning Group.

1. The corporate side: the Canada-U.S.A-Mexico task force

The Canada-U.S.A-Mexico Task Force is comprised of the leading CEOs of the
most powerful corporations from Canada, USA and Mexico, prominent former
officials, businessmen, and academic apologists from all three countries.
They are: (a.) From U.S.A. - Council on Foreign Relations;
(b). From Mexico- the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales;
(c.) From Canada: Canadian Council of Chief Executives- Founded in 1976, the
Canadian Council of Chief Executives is Canada's premier business
association composed of the chief executives of 150 leading Canadian
enterprises. The CCCE was the Canadian private sector
leader in the development and promotion of the Canada-United States Free
Trade Agreement during the 1980s and of the subsequent trilateral North
American Free Trade Agreement.

This task force is currently headed by Canada's own former Liberal Deputy
Prime Minister, John Manley (who allegedly seeks to replace Paul Martin as
Prime Minister).

This task force was sanctioned by the three leaders, Prime Minister Martin,
President Bush and President Fox, in March of 2005 at a special meeting in
Texas at Bush's ranch at which the three leaders signed the Security and
Prosperity Partnership of North America.

In practice, the elected governments of the three countries are the willing
dupes promulgating laws that impose a police state in order to enforce rules
that enable the new regime. Some would call this treason.

(2) The military side: The Binational Military Planning Group-

Founded in late 2002,its mandate is to lay the groundwork for the
integration of a Canada -US military command structure, and the
militarization of civilian law enforcement, and judicial function in Canada
and the USA. Their stated mandate is first to prepare contingency plans to
respond to land and sea threats, and attacks, and other major emergencies;
and second, to plan for coordinated response for military assistance to
civil authorities in the event of threat or attack, and for civil emergency
in Canada and the USA.

Neither of the Task Force nor the Military Planning group is accountable to
the US Congress, nor to the Canadian House of Commons, nor to the Mexican
government, and certainly Not to the citizenry.

1. Let's focus first on the corporate side, the Canada- USA- Mexico task
force.

See: Trilateral Task Force Recommendations
http://www.usembassycanada.gov/content/can_usa/northamericancommunity...

And: Trilateral Commission website
http://www.trilateral.org/

And: Council on Foreign Relations: Trinational call for a North American
Economic and Security Community by 2010

http://www.cfr.org/publication.html?id=7914

These Canadian, U.S., and Mexican elites are the same players who gave us
the FTA and the NAFTA. They continue their work creating a North American
union that integrates our economies and transforms our total policy-making
capacity away from the public interest and away from the public good.

This plan goes by various names:
· Deep Integration
· Harmonization
· NAFTA-plus
· the "Big Idea" (C.D. Howe Institute)
· the "North American Security and Prosperity Initiative"
· Americanization

The plan of this Canada-U.S.-Mexico task force is to establish a
continent-wide customs union with a common approach to trade, energy,
immigration, law enforcement and security that would virtually eliminate
existing national borders. The task force released its recommendations for a
common North America in May 17/18 2005.There was minor reference to it in
mainstream media- no headline presentation. The recommendations include:

* * a common security perimeter by 2010.
* * a North American Border Pass with biometric identifiers.
* * a unified border and expanded customs facilities.
** a single economic space: (It is this area that would destroy any
opportunity to bring back the use of our Bank of Canada.)
* * a common external tariff.
* * seamless movement of goods within North America.
* * Full labor mobility between Canada and the U.S. (Note they apparently do
not want the Mexican labourers??)
* * A North American energy strategy -as a regional alternative to Kyoto.
* * Review those sectors of NAFTA that were excluded.
* * A North American regulatory plan that would include "open skies and open
roads" and a unified approach on food, health, and the environment.
* * Expand temporary worker programs and create a "North American
preference" for immigration for citizens of North America.
* * A North American Investment Fund to build infrastructure to connect
Mexico's poorer regions in the south to the market to the north.
* * Restructure and reform Mexico's public finances.
* * Fully develop Mexican energy resources (Mexico wisely kept their energy
out of NAFTA)
* * A permanent tribunal for trade and investment disputes.( Here is where
any vestige of democratic government disappears)
* * An annual North American summit meeting.
* * A Tri-national Competition Commission with a common approach to trade
remedies.
* * Scholarships for a network of Centers for North American Studies. (To
serve the corporations)

The few media references to the task force parrot the Orwellian double speak
of the task force and politicians. The effect is to trick the people into
believing this process is something good for us. But if you read carefully,
you can identify that the regime change is all about the greed of an elite f
ew. In order to manipulate us into accepting the regime change, they pretend
it will protect us from "terrorists". Terrorism has become the external
threat, the bogey- man replacing Communism, just as Moslems have replaced
Jews as scapegoats..

>From Reuters:

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - The United States, Canada and Mexico should establish
a common security perimeter to guard against terrorism in North America, a
tri-national independent task force said in a report released onTuesday.

The countries should police their borders together to help border trade,
allow easier movement of citizens and to keep out potential security
threats, the task force said at New York's Council on Foreign Relations.

'If our two borders, the one between Canada and the United States and the
U.S. and Mexico, became a frontline for security the impact that would have
on normal relations and economic relations would be profound,' said
co-chairman John Manley, a former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister of Finance."

>From All American Patriots News:

"May 17, 2005--North America is vulnerable on several fronts: the region
faces terrorist and criminal security threats, increased economic
competition from abroad, and uneven economic development at home. In
response to these challenges, a tri-national, Independent Task Force on the
Future of North America has developed a roadmap to promote North American
security and advance the well-being of citizens of all three countries.

Pointing to increased competition from the European Union and rising
economic powers such as India and China in the eleven years since NAFTA took
effect, co-chair Pedro C. Aspe, former Finance Minister of Mexico, said, 'We
need a vision for North America to address the new challenges.'
The Task Force establishes a blueprint for a powerhouse North American
trading area that allows for the seamless movement of goods, increased labor
mobility, and energy security.

John P. Manley, Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of
Finance said, 'We are asking the leaders of the United States, Mexico, and
Canada to be bold and adopt a vision of the future that is bigger than, and
beyond, the immediate problems of the present,' 'They could be the
architects of a new community of North America, not mere custodians of the
status quo.'"

In other words, forget Canada; forget the United States of America; forget
the United States of Mexico. Some might consider this rather treasonous!!

Let us be very clear here. What the task force addresses is an
economic/legal system in their interest with a police state to enforce it.

This task force is extrapolating the globalization process into a North
American unit. Under the mantle of the WTO (an agreement in its own right,)
there is in process a transformation of the forces of power in the world
from sovereign national control of resources over to the global corporate
control. It is what they call "deregulation" and"privatization". That is why
they called all the agreements "Free Trade". They meant free from
regulations and controls that protect consumers and the public generally,
including protections from theft of the commons.

Now the intent is for transfer from global corporate control to regional
corporate control, e.g., European Union, North American Union; that is,
corporate political control free from government accountability to electors.
The North American task force seeks to create a unit even freer from the
vestigial citizen involvement that exists in the E.U. (Britain and Australia
are lackeys of the United States.)

The FTA, the NAFTA, are well known. The Canadian Action Party and other
concerned Canadians have been detailing the harm of these agreements for
years. CAP has steadfastly called for the abrogation of the FTA and NAFTA.
We have always said," Issue the 6 month notice to abrogate!" The most recent
justification for abrogation is the U.S.'s refusal to pay back $5 billion
they owe our lumber industry for illegal duties the U.S. charged.

Despite years of proof of uneven and unfair use by the USA of the rules of
the FTA and NAFTA, including the unfair closing of the U.S side of the
border to Canadian beef, the Liberals, Conservatives, the NDP, and the Bloc
Quebecois have refused to call for abrogation. It is only in the face of the
clarity of this latest U.S. abuse of Canada that all of them are beginning
to pretend they are not wimps or complicit dupes. Still, none of them is
willing to say, "Abrogate, period!" How much longer are we willing to
tolerate these politicians who not only meekly submit to being stomped on,
but then turn to their attacker and apologize for being victimized?

Why do they do this? It is because all of their most influential leaders are
members of this elite group who seek to remove democracy and entrench
plutocracy. It is not a question of what is good for the citizens of Canada,
U.S.A or Mexico. Note that the United States is turning that $5 billion
which has been stolen from the Canadian lumber industry over to their own
lumber barons, not their general body of citizens.

This North American Impetus is a natural political extension and outgrowth
of all these global economic arrangements as the greedy financial elite look
around for the best ways to effect their goals. It has everything to do with
the destruction of democracy and the death of freedom. These corporate
bodies have no allegiance to the nation they happen to operate in, or to its
people.

Other harmful international agreements include the General Agreement on
Trade and Services, (GATS), the Financial Services Investment Agreement,
(FSIA), the Free Trade Area of the Americas, (FTAA), the Central American
Free Trade Agreement, (CAFTA). All of these grow out of the World Trade
Organization, (WTO), itself being an agreement that commands an ongoing
deregulation and privatization process.

The eventual goal is to have all of North and South America as one regional
power block stronger than anything in Europe or Asia. Fortunately for human
beings, South America has not been the easy pushover that the corporations
presumed, so they have to settle for a North American Union for now. (Why do
you think Pat Robertson, a U.S. religious leader, on national U.S. media,
and on Canada's C.B.C., recently called for the Assassination of Hugo
Chavez, the Leader of Venezuela?)

There exists a North America Bureau of the Department of Foreign Affairs and
International Trade. See:
http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/can-am/main/front_page/north_american_bu...

The role of the North America Bureau is twofold:

* to advance, in cooperation with other parts of the Department of Foreign
Affairs and International Trade, Canadian diplomatic missions in the United
States and Mexico, and other Canadian Government departments and agencies,
Canada's wide-ranging interests in its relations with the United
States and Mexico; and

* to promote Canada's broad foreign policy objectives within and through the
Canada-US and the Canada-Mexico bilateral relationships.

In fulfilling this role, the Bureau is organized into four divisions:

* the United States Relations Division,
* the United States Transboundary Division, and
* the United States Business Development Division and
* The Mexico Division

2. Let's now look at the second body, The Binational Military Planning
Group. (Source Michel Chossudovsky. http://www.globalresearch.ca
http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CH0411C.html

Chossudovsky says the people of NORAD and the Binational Planning Group are
the same . They operate the same command. NORAD has essentially been
scrapped. It has been integrated into US Northern Command, and Canada has
become a de facto member of NORTHCOM under the auspices of the Bi-national
Planning Group. (BPG).

So, when Prime Minister Paul Martin said "no" to Star Wars, he did not
really say no. He lied to us.

The Binational Planning Group was set up in late 2002 after Prime Minster
Chrétien refused to join NORTHCOM. The creation of Northcom had been
announced unilaterally in April 2002 by Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfield
who dictated that the US Northern Command would have jurisdiction over the
entire North American region. Canada and Mexico were presented with a fait
accompli. US Northern Command's jurisdiction set out in the US DoD includes
the continental US ,all of Canada, Mexico, portions of the Caribbean,
contiguous waters in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans up to 500 miles off the
Mexican, US and Canadian coastlines, as well as the Canadian arctic.

Northcom was being quietly negotiated with Ottawa's Department of Defence
and the PMO. Under NORTHCOM the US military will cross the border and deploy
troops anywhere in Canada, in our provinces as well as station American
warships in Canadian territorial waters. The locale for these
discussions is not in Canada, but at the Peterson Air Force base in
Colorado, the headquarters of the US Northern Command(Northcom) .

Chossudovsky reports that Rumsfeld is said to have boasted that "the
NORTHCOM with all of North America as its geographic command 'is part of
the greatest transformation of the Unified Command Plan (UCP) since its
inceptions in 1947'"

When PM Chretien refused to sign on the dotted line, Rumsfield et al, the
military establishment, both US and Canadian, refused to take no for an
answer. They immediately created a new name to accommodate the concept of
NORTHCOM and called it the Binational Planning group . It is still operating
out of the Peterson Air force base. It was supposed to last only for two
years but its mandate has been renewed to spring of 2006. (Note- look for a
Canadian election before the expiry date.)

The BPG has a staff of 50 US and Canadian military planners laying the
groundwork fo the integration of Canada -US military command structures. The
BPG works in close coordination with the Canada-US Military Cooperation
Committee at the Pentagon- responsible for detailed
joint military planning.

Respecting missile defence, Martin told the press on February 22,2005: "[The
Americans] were told we will not participate." "It is a firm 'no.'"

Chossudovsky reminds us that simultaneously, Frank McKenna ambassador
designate to the US, in a contradictory statement, told the media " Canada's
participation in the controversial BMD is a "done deal". It's de facto. It
was part of a negotiation process initiated two years ago.

"We're part of it now and the question is what more do we need?" said
McKenna. "There's no doubt, in looking back, ... that the NORAD amendment
has given, has created part, in fact a great deal, of what the United States
means in terms of being able to get the input for defensive weaponry."

What Ambassador McKenna was hinting at, without revealing the substance of
US-Canada negotiations (behind closed doors), is that NORAD is a defunct
military body.

So the military side of this treason is waiting for government sanction in
the spring of 2006 after our next election. Once again the arrogant
confidence is at least irritating if not alarming.

Even though there is no official sanction yet, de facto sanctions exist as
Canada is participating more and more in the US wars.. Now we have more
troops in Afghanistan, and General Hilliard is warning Canadians to be
prepared for the body bags returning to Canada. There is something really
wrong with this picture.

In a comprehensive report prepared shortly before the Bush-Martin talks
November 2004, the BPG made recommendations on: " how the two countries'
militaries can work together more effectively to counter these [terrorist]
threats. ... formalizing cooperation already taking place on an informal
basis." (Statement of BPG spokesman, US Department of Defence Information,
November 3, 2004)

With regard to military negotiations, McKenna knows what is happening behind
the scenes. He was on the board of directors of the Carlyle Group together
with Bush Senior and Frank Carlucci (The bin Laden family were investors in
Carlyle until 9/11).

Carlyle, is the leading private equity investor in the aerospace and defence
industries in the US and Canada. It plays a key role in the formulation of
US defence and foreign policy. It has a vested interest in Canada's
integration into NORTHCOM. Michel Chossusdovsky points out that "Canada's
participation in the
Bilateral Planning Group and hence the Northern Command implies Canada's
acceptance not only of Star Wars, but of the entire US war agenda, requiring
significant hikes in Canada's defence spending. The latter are intended to
fuel the military-industrial complex. Canada's defence contractors are
supportive of this process."

Chossudovsky points to Canada's February 2005 budget, released on the day
following P.M. PaulMartin's categorical "No" to the Missile Defence Program.
Chossudovsky notes that "an additional $12.8 billion dollars (Cdn) (over the
next five years), has added to Canada's spiralling defence budget. The
stated objective is to 'burnish the country's credibility as a global
peacekeeping partner'."

Chossudovsky notes further that the budget is not meant to refurbish the
country's conventional military hardware, but rather will be channelled to
Canadian weapons producers, many of which are affiliates of US defence
conglomerates, upon Canada's accession to NORTHCOM.. He lists some major
players in Canada's defence industry: General Dynamics (Canada), Bell
Helicopter Textron (Canada), General Motors Defense, CAE Inc, Bombardier,
SNC-Lavalin Group, etc.

So we can see that those two bodies, the trilateral task force and the
Bilateral Planning group, are well entrenched in process.

The fact is that most Canadians oppose this deep economic and military
integration.

Now the greedy corporations are staking out a claim on more and more land in
a region of North America in order to be bigger, and better and more
profitable than a group of corporations from another regional block. The
European Union was the first block. There is a rising Asian block. I am not
the first to see the USA attacks on the middle east as a means of
preventing the Asian blocks from becoming the most powerful . The third
region is the Americas. South America has not been an easy go for the
globalizers. So the focus is concentrating for now on North America.)

By examination of the arrangements and deals happening under our noses but
by stealth, we can see that our worries expressed over the years are coming
to fruition. The globalizers are well into the process of implementing a
clear regime run by them, about them, for them, and enforced by governments.
The masses of people do not count except as cannon fodder in the wars of
conquest and as slaves for the production process .

There is every intention of regime change from democracy to tyranny. Our
governments are already the willing whipping boys being the instruments of
social control. They have no shame in removing our civil liberties and
destroying our constitutional protections .This is happening all around the
world with the USA, Britain, Australia and Canada being the most advanced in
the regime change process. It is an outrage and a disgrace that Canada is
now competing with Britain to become the lowliest lick spittle groveling
agent to the USA led regime change process. There is nothing good in this
regime change process for the citizen.

Part 2- Agreements, Arrangements, and Laws

Part 2 of Meta-Morphosis and Sabotage of Canada by our own Government -
Laws, Arrangements and Agreements

Lets look at some of the other incredible arrangements our government has
made, all of which throw away our sovereignty, independence, and our civil
liberties.

-------------------------------

1. The Canada - U.S. Smart Border Declaration signed Dec 12,2001. Note John
Manley signed this when he was deputy Prime Minister along with Tom Ridge,
US Homeland Security Director. Manley is now the head of the North American
Union Task Force promoting the end of the nations of Canada , USA, and
Mexico as we know them.
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/newsroom/factsheets/2002/sep/smart-e.html

The Canada -US Smart Border Declaration has everything to do with total
integration of Canada into the USA dominated system and control, with total
loss of Canadian sovereignty and independence. Our government through one
Cabinet Minister and his officials committed Canadians to arrangements which
had not been discussed in Parliament, nor presented to the Canadians at
large. Some would say it is treasonous to be making, in effect, fundamental
changes to our constitutional structure without taking this to the citizens.
The arrangements are after the fact being rammed through Parliament
piecemeal without any Member of Parliament making a fuss about the fact of
the pre-arranged agreement between Manley and Ridge, nor demanding that
Canadians should have a say in this. No Member of Parliament was elected on
any platform to create or enter a North American Union which this Smart
Border Declaration is doing. The tragedy for Canadians is that we appear to
have no MP's, nor party with representatives elected to the House of Common
who are prepared to fight for Canadians, or even to inform us. In effect,
there is no opposition in government. The opposition is us, outside of
government. This should not have to be!

This declaration outlines a set of initiatives called the 30-point Action
Plan. The Canada Customs and Revenue agency is working collaboratively with
the United States Customs Service, the United States Immigration and
Naturalization Service and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The CCRA has
the lead responsibility for eight of the initiatives outlined in the 30
Point Action Plan. Making those eight happen is the priority for CCRA. The
eight are:
- A Single Alternative Inspection System
-Air Pre-clearance
-Advance Passenger Information/Passenger Name Record
-Ferry Terminal Reviews
-Harmonized Commercial Processing
-Clearance Away from the Border
-Customs Data Exchange
-In-Transit Container Targeting at Seaports

The 30 points are:

1) Biometric Identifiers- Jointly develop on an urgent basis common
biometric identifiers in documentation such as (this means in other ways
too) permanent resident cards, NEXUS, and other travel documents. (That
means DNA markers, eyeprints and fingerprints) ( CBC recently reported that
this month our Government will present to Parliament a bill that will permit
"chips" being placed in our passports .The chips will hold untold amounts of
personal data, even possibly to the amount of money you have in your bank
account. This chip can be accessed and read by any one or place that has the
existing technology. It has been reported to me that the Mohawk Indians have
been approached by our government to volunteer to being "chipped" and to
have DNA records of them created for tracking. Chips are microscopic devices
that can be implanted in your skin as easily as on a card. This is no longer
science fiction folks. It is happening.)

2) Permanent Resident Cards- a secure card which includes a biometric
identifier. (It is the impending legislation that will require all citizens
to be
fingerprinted and eye printed, and to have all their personal data encrypted
on a national card- even human chip implants to track your location and
activity. Many cell phones already do that. Some clothing manufacturers, and
I am told Walmart is one, already have microscopic tracking chips that
remain in the clothes after you leave the store with your purchase. If
someone wanted to, they could track you if you wear Walmart clothing. Who
has sanctioned that?

3) Single Alternative Inspection System- Resume NEXUS for two-way movement
of pre-approved travellers at Sarnia-Port Huron,and expand a single program
to other areas along the land border. Discuss expansion to air travel.

4) Refugee/Asylum Processing-Review practices and procedures to ensure that
applicants are thoroughly screened for security risks and take necessary
steps to
share information on refugee and asylum claimants.

5) Managing of Refugee/Asylum Claims- Negotiate a safe third-country
agreement to enhance the managing of refugee claims. ( The Safe Third
Country Agreement was signed by officials of Canada and the United States on
December 5, 2002. The agreement allows both countries to manage the flow of
refugee claimants. No longer does Canada make its own decisions based on our
sovereign principles. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/policy/safe-third.html )
Did you hear any fuss being made by anyone in Parliament about this
destruction of our sovereign capacity? Or by the media?

6) Visa Policy Coordination- joint respective visa waiver lists and share
look-out lists at visa issuing offices.

7) Air Preclearance- implement the Preclearance Agreement signed in January
2001. Resume intransit preclearance at Vancouver and
expand to other airports per Annex I of the Agreement.

The following url shows the Bill C22 The Preclearance Act. I do not know if
the Act has come into force yet. It clearly allows for the no fly lists and
gives authority to pre-clearance officers in special setoff areas at
airports to do thing with persons named.
http://www.parl.gc.ca/36/1/parlbus/chambus/house/bills/government/S-2...

8) Advance Passenger Information / Passenger Name Record- Share this on
flights between Canada and the United States, including in-transit flights.
Identify risks posed by passengers on international flights arriving in each
other's territory. (These are the "no fly" lists whereby any of us can be
defined as a bad guy and not allowed to fly. Senator Kennedy was put the no
fly list of the US . It took a while to get his name removed. )

See what Canada's privacy commissioner says about the No Fly lists:

http://www.psepc.gc.ca/publications/news/2005/20050805-1_e.asp

and at http://www.psepc.gc.ca/national_security/counter_terrorism_e.asp

9) Joint Passenger Analysis Units-Establish joint units at key international
airports in Canada and the United States.

10) Ferry Terminals- Review customs and immigration presence and practices
at international ferry terminals. ( End of sovereign Canadian only
decisions)
11) Compatible Immigration Databases- automated database, such as Canada's
Support System for Intelligence, for information exchange, and enhance
sharing of intelligence and trend analysis.

12) Immigration Officers Overseas- Increase number of Canadian and US
immigration officers at airports overseas and enhance joint training of
airline personnel. ( More do it the US way when maybe we would not do it at
all if we made our own decision)

13) International Cooperation- technical assistance to source and transit
countries.

14) Harmonized Commercial Processing-complementary systems for commercial
processing, including audit-based programs and partnerships with industry.
Explore the merits of a common program.

15) Clearance Away from the Border- integrated trade facilitation through
away-from- the-border processing for truck/rail cargo (and crews), including
inland
preclearance/post-clearance, international zones and pre-processing centers
at the border, and maritime port intransit preclearance.

16) Joint Facilities- under current legislation and regulations create
small, remote joint border facilities. Examine the legal and operational
issues associated with the establishment of international zones and joint
facilities, including armed protection or the arming of law enforcement
officers in such zones and facilities. ( An armed border)

17) Customs Data - Sign the Agreement on Sharing Data Related to Customs
Fraud, exchange agreed upon customs data pursuant to NAFTA, and discuss what
additional commercial and trade data should be shared for national security
purposes. (By sharing financial data, they can drive anyone into bankruptcy
if they want to . Re- read Orwell's 1984) (Lougheed Martin, a military
oriented company has been given the contract to handle Canadian census data
which means under the USA Patriot Act , all the information about every
Canadian is in the hands of the US Homeland Security. .That body has
Orwellian powers with tentacles now into Canadian homes. At what point will
Canadian outrage emerge? )

18) Intransit Container Targeting at Seaports- exchange information and
analysis. Work in partnership
with the industry to develop advance electronic commercial manifest data for
marine containers arriving from overseas.

19) Infrastructure Improvements- joint and coordinated physical and
technological improvements to key border points and trade corridors -
dedicated
lanes and border modeling exercises. (Easy movement of troops into Canada)

20) Intelligent Transportation Systems-Deploy interoperable technologies in
support of other initiatives to facilitate the secure movement of goods and
people, such as transponder applications and electronic container seals.
(Transponders are devices that take a picture of you as you drive by and
track you - like on Ontario's highway 407)

21) Critical Infrastructure Protection- Conduct binational threat
assessments on trans-border infrastructure and identify necessary additional
protection measures, and initiate assessments for transportation networks
and other critical infrastructure.

22) Aviation Security- Finalize Federal Aviation Administration-Transport
Canada agreement on comparability/equivalence of security and training
standards.

23) Integrated Border and Marine Enforcement Teams-Expand IBET/IMET to other
areas of the border and enhance communication and coordination.

24) Joint Enforcement Coordination-comprehensive and permanent coordination
of law enforcement, anti- terrorism efforts and information sharing, such as
by strengthening the Cross-Border Crime Forum and reinvigorating Project
Northstar. (Law enforcement is a crucial part of sovereignty-)

25) Integrated Intelligence- joint teams to analyze and disseminate
information and intelligence, and produce threat and intelligence
assessments. Initiate
discussions regarding a Canadian presence on the U.S. Foreign Terrorist
Tracking Task Force. (Canada gives up any semblance of independent
policies. ) ( Is this the source of the bill coming before Parliament this
month that will give increased powers to security forces to spy on and take
action against e mail and websites and cell phones and fax communications

26) Fingerprints-RCMP to access FBI fingerprint data directly via real-time
electronic link (and vice versa) .

27) Removal of Deportees- Address legal and operational challenges to joint
removals, and coordinate
initiatives to encourage uncooperative countries to accept their nationals.
(In other words, Canada will adopt US rules on who is to be deported. That
explains the transition to violation of international human rights by Canada
in the harsh treatment in Canada of the 5 Muslims detained without trial and
without defence in provincial prison without release .)

28) Counter-Terrorism Legislation-Bring into force legislation on terrorism,
including measures for the designation of terrorist organizations. (This is
the source of our Anti--terrorist legislation - our Bill C 36, and the USA
Patriot Act. It was not Canadian philosophy and policy and tradition that
brought this Orwellian legislation into being. It was the demand from the
US, and Canada's submission to and under this agreement. Canada promised to
deliver this. 9/11 was the impetus, the excuse, to do what was intended any
way. In both the USA and Canada, the anti-terrorist legislation is up for
review now. The goal is to make the laws in both countries even more
invasive and liberty stripping, more Orwellian. )

29) Freezing of Terrorist Assets-Exchange advance information on designated
individuals and organizations in a timely manner.

30) Joint Training and Exercises- joint response to terrorism- joint
counter-terrorism training and exercises

Read how the U.S. Homeland Security website explains this agreement:
http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/display?content=97

This Canada -US Smart Border Declaration militarizes Canada and sets the
stage for a police state. It is responsible for our anti-terrorist law which
emulates the US Patriot Act. The anti-terrorist laws discriminate against
racial groups, remove habeas corpus, (ie, the right to be produced before a
court rather than arrested, locked up
and the key thrown away), remove the right to a fair trial or in some cases
to any trial at all. They remove the right to defend yourself. They
criminalize dissent. They revokes civil liberties. They are Draconian laws
sitting there waiting to pounce on lawful citizens when the right occasion
presents itself. Canada's anti-terrorist law is already being applied
against Canadians of middle Eastern heritage- note the 5 Muslims
incarcerated in Toronto upon being accused of being terrorists. Our judicial
history prevented indefinite incarceration without a trial.We had to be
found guilty, not just accused. That protection is gone now.

2. The Public Safety Act, 2002 (Bill C7) grew out of Bills C 17, C55, and
C42. This act amends 23 existing acts and implements the Biological and
Toxin Weapons Convention Act.
http://www.parl.gc.ca/common/bills_Is.asp?lang=E&Is=c7&source=library...

The Public Safety Act imposes many terms that restrict civil liberties. The
section dealing with interim orders grants despotic powers to a number of
Cabinet Ministers such that at their individual, sole decree without prior
Parliamentary oversight, approval or sanction, they can impose the police
state. Eight parts of the Bill amend various statutes to provide a new power
permitting the responsible Minister to make interim orders in situations
where immediate action is required (as he alone determines) . For example,
the Minister of Health can require mandatory vaccinations and quarantine.

Interim orders under The Public Safety Act are exempt from the usual
requirements of our law that are in place to prevent abuse and excess. These
orders are specifically free from checks to avoid abuse or violations of the
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Bill of Rights
These orders avoid examination by government lawyers whose usual job is to
ensure regulations and orders are not an unusual or unexpected use of
authority;and that they do not trespass unduly on existing rights and
freedoms.

The respective Ministers, are:
* Department of Health Act Minister of Health;
* Food and Drugs Act Minister of Health;
* Hazardous Products Act Minister of Health;
* Navigable Waters Protection Act Minister of Fisheries and Oceans;
* Pest Control Products Act Minister of Health;
* Quarantine Act Minister of Health;
* Radiation Emitting Devices Act Minister of Health; and
* Canada Shipping Act; Canada Shipping Act, 2001
(4) Ministers of Transport and Fisheries and Oceans.

Now it is clearer to understand what the gun registration was all about!.
Disarm the people from protecting themselves from their own government , not
protection from
criminals. This concept of possibly needing to protect ourselves from our
government is so foreign to the Canadian psyche that most of us did not see
the malevolence of the gun registry program. We became unwitting dupes to
the police state agenda because of our antipathy towards violence.

3. The Anti Terrorism Act - (Bill C 36) Currently under review to make it
even more prohibitive.

See:
http://www.parl.gc.ca/37/1/parlbus/chambus/house/bills/government/C-3...

4. The North American Security and Prosperity Initiative (NASPI)- a project
of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives(CCCE)launched in January 2003 to
develop a strategy for shaping Canada's future within North America and
Beyond.

See: http://www.ceocouncil.ca/en/view/?document_id=365&area_id=7

This url is a must read. It was posted or updated November2, 2005 as News
and Information. It is a discussion paper released April 2004. Here you can
see that the chief executives of the 150 leading corporations of Canada are
in the driver's seat setting out the political agenda to meet its own
interests. Their own language has a flavour of their attitude that they do
rule.

Here is the preface to their discussion paper. The bold markings are mine
for emphasis.

"The Council was the private sector leader in the development and promotion
of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement during the 1980s and of the
subsequent trilateral North American Free Trade Agreement. North American
economic integration is now well advanced and irreversible, and in the face
of global terrorism, the economic and physical security of the continent
have become indivisible.

While the Council's fundamental vision for North America remains trilateral,
we believe that to be most effective in addressing some of the key
challenges facing our continent today, Canada and the United States must
take the lead in developing a new paradigm for cooperation, one that will
increase the security of our respective citizens and maximize the ability of
our countries to prosper in a world marked by increasingly intense
competition among developed and developing countries. Given ever-growing
international flows of goods, services, people, investment and ideas, this
new paradigm must be based on respect for sovereignty while achieving more
effective and mutually beneficial interdependence.

Following more than a year of research and consultation with academics,
business leaders and government officials in Canada, the United States and
Mexico, we are ready to share some of our thinking. Many important questions
remain to be answered, but we hope that the 15 specific recommendations we
offer in this discussion paper serve as a point of departure for debate
within Canada and the United States and as a spur to action on the critical
issues that we have identified.

On behalf of the members of the Council, we are grateful to our readers for
your interest in the shared challenges facing Canadians and our North
American partners. We look forward to your thoughts and to working with you
to ensure growing security and prosperity for all North Americans.

Richard L. George
Chairman

Thomas P. d'Aquino
President and Chief Executive"

Most important is the CCCE statement that both the Martin Liberals and the
Harper Conservatives support the CCCE initiative for a North American
structure that will serve the corporate agenda. . The CCCE paper states:

"While 2004 will bring elections in both Canada and the United States,
political interest in new approaches to North America crosses partisan
boundaries. Prime Minister Paul Martin has made clear his intention to
reinvigorate Canada's relationship with the United States as part of a
broader strategy for strengthening Canada's influence in the world. Stephen
Harper, the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, has called for a
continental "strategic partnership", one that would link freer flows of
goods, services, labour, capital and technology with improvements in
continental security."

So for all those strategists who urged people to vote Liberal to keep out
the Conservatives, and for those voters who complied, we now can realize the
stupidity in that approach. But most voters did not buy into that lie. In
2004 Canadians produced a minority government precisely because the voters
knew intuitively that something very rotten is transpiring.

The report sets out five pillars for a comprehensive strategy:

"In launching its North American Security and Prosperity Initiative (NASPI),
the CCCE suggested that a Canadian strategy for managing its future within
the continent should be based on five pillars: reinventing borders;
regulatory efficiency; resource security; the North American defence
alliance; and new institutions.

Over the past year, there has been an explosion of research and discussion
about options for North America. The intensity of the discussion has been
greatest in Canada, but it has spread into both the United States and
Mexico, across academic, business and government circles. There is clearly
much more to be explored, tested and eventually negotiated, but the immense
amount of work done over the past year has established a meaningful
foundation for more detailed discussion of our options.

Based on all of the work by the CCCE and by many others, this discussion
paper builds on the original framework of the CCCE's North American
initiative, suggests points of emerging consensus and puts forward 15
specific recommendations. From here, the CCCE hopes to foster further
dialogue on the best options for Canada and on how best to move forward in
building a 21st century Canada-United States partnership in North America.

ELEMENTS OF A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY

Ever since September 11, 2001, there has been no question that the
management of the Canada-United States border must evolve. The two countries
quickly agreed on the 30-point Smart Border action plan in late 2001, and
much has been and continues to be achieved under this umbrella. Our two
countries have been working closely, sharing information, developing and
deploying new tools for managing risk, expanding border infrastructure and
experimenting with new ways to speed the flows of low-risk goods and
travellers while improving security overall.

As the CCCE suggested in launching its North American initiative, however,
much more can and must be done. The CCCE continues to believe that a
comprehensive strategy must encompass five pillars:
First, it must move beyond border management to the true reinvention of
North American borders.
Second, efforts to smooth customs processing must be reinforced by a
sweeping effort to reduce the costs and delays at the border caused by
regulatory differences.
Third, and linked to regulatory issues, it must address issues in the
resource sector to ensure that trade flows respect the twin principles of
security of access and security of supply.
Fourth, it must recognize that all of the progress Canada desires on the
economic front depends on a credible reinvigoration of the North American
defence alliance.
Fifth, it must consider the development of a range of new institutions to
manage the deepening of the Canada-United States relationship
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

These suggestions of the CCCE are being implemented incrementally by our
government . Read the section on North American Defence carefully if you had
any doubts about the points raised in Part 1. of my paper respecting
Canada's complete integration with the US military agenda.

5. The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America signed by Martin
(Canada) , Bush (USA) and Fox ( Mexico) in March 2005. This is the political
arm complying with its marching orders from the CCCE. Read this url to get
the full flavour of the power unfolding.

See: http://www.pm.gc.ca/eng/news.asp?id=443

Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America Established March 23,
2005 Waco, Texas

Below are highlights of the statement made by the Leaders setting out the
Security Agenda and Prosperity Agenda and announcing the establishment of
the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) . The
statement was released March 23,2005 at the conclusion of Prime Minister
Paul Martin's meeting with United States President George W. Bush and
Mexican President Vicente Fox at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

SECURITY AND PROSPERITY PARTNERSHIP OF NORTH AMERICA

We, the elected leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, gather in
Texas to announce the establishment of the Security and Prosperity
Partnership of North America.

Over the past decade, our three nations have taken important steps to expand
economic opportunity for our people and to create the most vibrant and
dynamic trade relationship in the world. Since September 11, 2001, we have
also taken significant new steps to address the threat of terrorism and to
enhance the security of our people.

But more needs to be done. ...

... This work will be based on the principle that our security and
prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary...Also, it will help
consolidate our action into a North American framework to confront security
and economic challenges...

... The Partnership is trilateral in concept; while allowing any two
countries to move forward on an issue, it will create a path for the third
to join later.

Advancing our Common Security

We will establish a common approach to security to protect North America
from external threats, prevent and respond to threats within North America,
and further streamline the secure and efficient movement of legitimate,
low-risk traffic across our shared borders. As part of our efforts, we will:

* Implement common border security and bioprotection strategies;

* Enhance critical infrastructure protection, and implement a common
approach to emergency response;

* Implement improvements in aviation and maritime security, combat
transnational threats, and enhance intelligence partnerships; and

* Implement a border facilitation strategy to build capacity and improve the
legitimate flow of people and cargo at our shared borders.

Advancing our Common Prosperity...

.... regulatory cooperation
....sectoral collaboration in energy, transportation, financial services,
technology, and other areas to facilitate business; and invest in our
people;
....efficient movement of goods and people; and.....

Next Steps

We will establish Ministerial-led working groups that will consult with
stakeholders in our respective countries. These working groups will respond
to the priorities of our people ( I do not think the people are the masses
of citizens) and our businesses, and will set specific, measurable, and
achievable goals. They will identify concrete steps that our governments can
take to meet these goals, and set implementation dates that will permit a
rolling harvest of accomplishments.

Within 90 days, Ministers will report back to us with their initial report.
Following this, the groups will report on a semi-annual basis. Because the
Partnership will be an ongoing process of cooperation, new items will be
added to the work agenda by mutual agreement as circumstances warrant.

Through this Partnership, we will ensure that North America remains the most
economically dynamic region of the world and a secure home for our people in
this and future generations.

SECURITY AGENDA
... Canada, the United States, and Mexico will work together to ensure the
highest continent-wide security standards and streamlined risk-based border
processes are achieved in the following priority areas:

Secure North America from External Threats

. Develop and implement a North American traveler security strategy, and a
cargo security strategy for screening prior to departure from a foreign port
and at the first port of entry to North America.

. Develop and implement a North American bioprotection strategy to assess,
prevent, protect, detect, and respond to intentional, as well as applicable
naturally occurring threats to public health and the food and agriculture
system.

Prevent and Respond to Threats within North America

. Develop and implement a strategy to enhance North American maritime
transportation and port security.

. Develop and implement a strategy to establish equivalent approaches to
aviation security for North America.

. Develop and implement a comprehensive North American strategy for
combating transnational threats to the United States, Canada, and Mexico,
including terrorism, organized crime, illegal drugs, migrant and contraband
smuggling and trafficking.

. Enhance partnerships on intelligence related to North American security.

. Develop and implement a common approach to critical infrastructure
protection, and response to cross-border terrorist incidents and, as
applicable, natural disasters.

Further Streamline the Secure Movement of Low-risk Traffic across our Shared
Borders
...... a border facilitation strategy to build capacity and improve the
legitimate flow of people and cargo at ports of entry within North America.
.....new technologies to advance our shared security goals and promote the
legitimate flow of people and goods across our borders.

PROSPERITY AGENDA

. Regulatory Cooperation .....compatibility of regulations and standards and
eliminating redundant testing and certification requirements.....Strengthen
regulatory cooperation, including at the onset of the regulatory process, to
minimize barriers.

.......greater cooperation in sectors such as autos, steel, and other
sectors identified through consultations.

......increase reliable energy supplies for the region's needs and
development, by facilitating investment in energy infrastructure, technology
improvements, production and reliable delivery of energy; ..... to
streamline and update regulations; ....promoting energy efficiency,
conservation, and technologies such as clean coal, carbon capture and
storage, hydrogen and renewable energy.

.... North America's transportation system by expanding market access,
facilitating multimodal corridors, reducing congestion, and alleviating
bottlenecks at the border that inhibit growth and threaten our quality of
life (e.g., expand air services agreements, increase airspace capacity,
initiate an Aviation Safety Agreement process, pursue smart border
information technology initiatives, ensure compatibility of regulations and
standards in areas such as statistics, motor carrier and rail safety, and
working with responsible jurisdictions, develop mechanisms for enhanced road
infrastructure planning, including an inventory of border transportation
infrastructure in major corridors and public-private financing instruments
for border projects).

...... freer flow of capital and the efficient provision of financial
services throughout North America (e.g., facilitate cross-border electronic
access to stock exchanges ... further collaboration on training programs for
bank, insurance and securities regulators and supervisors.....improve
convenience and cost of insurance coverage for carriers engaged in cross
border commerce.

.... cross-border technology trade ... preventing unnecessary barriers from
being erected (e.g., agree on mutual recognition of technical requirements
for telecommunications equipment, tests and certification; adopt a framework
of common principles for e-commerce).

.... Lower the transaction costs of trade in goods by liberalizing the
requirements for obtaining duty-free treatment under NAFTA, including
through the reduction of rules of origin costs on goods traded between our
countries. ...

....rationalizing minor differences in external tariffs, consistent with
multilateral negotiation strategies.

..... facilitate further the movement of business persons within North
America and discuss ways to reduce taxes and other charges residents face
when returning from other North American countries.

............................................................................
............................................

Enhance public health cross-border coordination in infectious diseases
surveillance, prevention and control (e.g., pandemic influenza).

...............................................

-..... Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of
Pharmaceuticals for Human Use....identification and adoption of best
practices relating to the registration of medicinal products.

6. The 40 point Smart Regulation Action Plan - announced March 24, 2005 at a
Newsmaker Breakfast at the National Press Club. (Globe and Mail March 21).

See: www.regulation.gc.ca
And:
http://www.regulation.gc.ca/default.asp?Page=report&language=E&doc=ra...

This plan introduces huge changes to Canada's regulatory system. This plan
is the result of another corporate "task force". The plan will make it
easier and faster for corporations to get approval for new drugs, complete
environmental assessments, and the like. On March 21, the Globe and Mail
stated that one of the initiatives is:"A paperwork-burden-reduction task
force with the private sector to reduce the obligations for business to
comply with regulations at all levels of government"

The Smart Regulation Plan will "harmonize" Canadian regulations with U.S.
regulations,i.e., make Canadian regulations the same as U.S. regulations,
which means more deregulation and fewer protections for consumers. Canada
often has very different regulations from the U.S in terms of things like
safety and environment. For example, Bush's U.S. refused to sign on to
Kyoto, and has instituted environmental regulations that many U.S. citizens
believe are a step backward for the U.S., and harmful to the
environment.(see www.bushgreenwatch.org)

It has been impossible to find an actual list of the 40 points referred to
in various media reports. However, there are many references to the smart
regulations in the various urls presented in this Part 2..

7. The Report of Ministers to the Leaders -SPP- North America June 2005

This is an important url to read.: http://www.fac-aec.gc.ca/SPP-report.PDF

It is signed by three ministers from each of Canada USA and Mexico. For
Canada they are : Anne McLellan, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of
Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness; David Emerson, Minister of
Industry; and Pierre Pettigrew, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

They begin their report by saying that the leaders on March 23, 2005 asked
their Ministers to create an architecture to enhance the security of North
America and this report is a response to that request.

Read this and you will be left with no doubt that these Ministers and the
Leaders are complying in spades to the demands of the CCCE. They are in fact
creating regime changes in all three countries with the corporation giving
the orders. They are in fact dismantling the constitutional structures of
the three countries.

The report of the CCCE referred to in number 4 of this part talks of the
need for involving the other levels of government, provincial, state and
municipal to fully effect the plan. Reference is made to meetings with these
other levels of government. This fact has a profoundly serious implications:
the other levels of government are complicit in the violation of the
constitutional rights and entitlements of the citizens as the constitutional
structures of the respective countries are being dismantled.

Canada has a very clear division of powers between the federal government
and the provincial governments. The division is of watertight compartments..
Not one of the provinces is complaining about the restructuring of this
relationship, the emasculation of their sovereign power, nor of unelected,
unaccountable chief executive officers dictating what the provinces are to
do.

The municipalities are creatures of the Provinces. Not one municipality is
making any objection to the emasculation of their powers.

The constitution of Canada does not belong to the legislatures or to
Parliament. It belongs to the citizens. So said our Supreme Court of Canada.
These parliamentarians and legislators have no right to do what they are
doing. But they are arrogant, and they do not care. Our system has become
rotten to the core.

Our federal government is in process of reviewing our anti-terrorist
legislation. It has not been easy to ascertain just where they are at in the
process. The Canadian Action Party is taking steps to try to make
presentation to that process.

The Canadian federal government has indicated it is bringing forward
legislation imminently to allow security forces to spy on citizen use of the
internet, on e mail , and on cell phones. It has been impossible for the
Canadian Action Party to obtain the draft legislation.

The US government on October 13, 2005 published its order made in August
2005 which greatly increased the scope of legislation regarding the
electronic monitoring of telecommunications providers. The order extends the
legislation to cover broadband internet access services, including wireless
and voice -over -IP (VolP) Internet Telephony services. Universities are
required to comply. (See: http://www.lifeboatnews.com Mike Ingram 26 October
2005 "Order Broadens Surveillance of Internet Users".

Part 3- Effect of the Bad Laws, some history, and what to do

Part Three:
The Effect of All the Bad Law, Some History, and What To Do

"Connect the dots. Year 2010 is the target date of the Canada/US/ Mexico
task force's planned North American Union. Year 2010 is the year by which
Canada will have had a $54.5 billion total surplus over 5-6 years. How is
that "surplus" to be used? Not to restore the social programs our government
pillaged to create the surplus. It will be used to pay for the
"architecture" of the "paradigm" for cooperation, i.e. the North American
Union, or as they call it, the NAISP, The North America Initiative for
Security and Prosperity."

What is the effect of all the bad law outlined in part 2 of this article? It
is the end of a nation. It is the end of decisions by ourselves over
ourselves. It is a reduction of our standard of living: a decline of the
middle class, an increase in poverty, homelessness, destruction of our
social safety net. It is the militarization of the country. It is the
creation of a police state.

How can this be?? How can our government enter these arrangements? Who
exactly is doing it? Parliament? Caucus? the PMO? We must embark on a
massive campaign demanding every MP reveal his/her role in this treason. We
must make each one of these agreements and arrangements an election issue.
The Canadian Action party has already started its campaign to do so. So how
is it possible that our national status has come to this sorry state. Let's
consider the practice of government in this country. Canada has long
suffered from an undemocratic form of government. Our Prime Ministers and
their bureaucrat mandarins have always applied the defunct Prerogative Right
of Kings' principle to the exercise of their power, and gotten away with it.
The Prerogative Right is the notion that not only do the Prime Minister and
his officials know best what is right and good for all of us, but they have
a God given right to impose it on us. How does this work in practice? As
Paul Hellyer, CAP's founding former leader, explained to an inquiring member
of the public in letter dated March 9, 1998: "The decisions are not actually
made in Caucus. In most cases, they begin with the bureaucracy, although a
few policies actually originate in the Prime Minister's Office or in
Cabinet. But these are the exceptions. Unfortunately, the parliamentary
system is just used to propagate the ideas presented by the bureaucracy to
parliament and to put them into force."

That was the case with the FTA and NAFTA. The MPs did not read the
agreements. They just accepted the lies of the bureaucrats and signed. .Paul
Hellyer spent his life as an elected MP. He knows how the system works. And
he admits that he, like all the others, did not read the FTA and NAFTA
before ratifying them

Why has this practice prevailed? Because no party has actively exposed it,
nor actively challenged it (except perhaps the original Reform Party) What
is so awful is the extent of the CEO's arrogant expectation of success in
the realization of their goal. Where is the outrage by M.P.s? By other
parties? By media? Why the acquiescence? Those CEOs and military strategists
are aided and abetted by all those Members of Parliament who are more than
willing to delegate a power and influence to these unelected, unaccountable
bodies.

Staring us in the eye are the powerful global forces who are successfully
controlling and directing our very own governments against us. They are
turning three nations into an undemocratic continental force for two
purposes: 1. Externally- militarize us for their economic world conquest;
and, 2. Internally- create a police state to stifle dissent and prevent
rebellion as they take everything away from us. How Dare They!!
What has become the smokescreen justification for this treason? Terrorism.
What is the real reason ?? Greed- money. If it was only a few individuals in
power, not our full government sanctioning the betrayal, a charge of treason
could be laid. But because the highest order of our government is
facilitating it, it is not treason. It is not treason because the
perpetrators say it is not. There is no one in charge with the will or power
to face the betrayal and call it for what it is. Only the losers in a battle
are prosecuted.

For far too long in Canada, bureaucrats and politicians under the undue
influence of industry have been betraying all of us. Bureaucrats move easily
between government and industry fulfilling the demands and interests of
corporations above that of the common good of the state and its people. The
concept of the public interest, or the common good, or the commons no longer
exists in the bureaucracy, where once it was well defined and understood and
applied.

Following WW2, despite an interlude of attention to the public good and the
public interest and to world peace, the greedy exploitive agenda of the
financial/ industrial/ military leaders of most of the world continued to
lurk behind the scenes. They never really went away. They just laid low and
bided their time.

Meanwhile, the Western world developed a burgeoning comfortable middle class
as the leaders realized they had to create systems that appeased the
sacrifices made by the people on the Front and at home. In Canada we
developed a successful mixed economy blending the private and the public
participation in our economy. The private system was left to do what they
could do well, but it was recognized that some things they could not do if
the needs of all the people were to be met, like housing the vets, like
medicare and hospitalization.

Eventually as peace prevailed, life got better for more and more of us. We
relaxed our guard. We relaxed our vigilance over our liberty. We took it for
granted. We trusted our politicians. Meanwhile, the greedy ones, smoldering
in the background, re-ignited .They made their move by promoting
globalization thereby cementing an arena for their use and benefit at the
expense of the rest of us. Our politicians have been dupes at best,
conspirators at worst. Programs, regulations, practices and procedures that
made life good for the rest of us, protected our well-being and nourished
us, interfered with their greed. And so, they moved- first by by deception
and stealth, and now in open arrogance to take away our benefits and
enjoyment of a share of the world's resources. The principle is no different
than it ever was under kings and mighty rulers--A few powerful taking the
resources of the world for themselves by war and/or trickery and theft.

In post WW2 Canada developed some of the most successful public programs
paid for in large measure by the use in our economy of our own Bank of
Canada. Our successful safety net came to life making things pretty good for
most of us. Hospitalization, medicare, public housing, public education,
publicly controlled energy utilities, and transportation are examples. And
we created our own public bank, the Bank of Canada, which reigned over the
hiatus of the good life enjoyed by Canadians. It was the use of that bank
that enabled Canadians to be creating a very good place to live, free from
the enslavement of crippling debt. We could afford the good life then, and
we can afford it now. We no longer have MP's or bureaucrats with the will to
act to protect and maintain a "prosperous and secure" life for the people of
Canada. They plan to focus to make our territory more "prosperous and
secure" for the corporate return on the resources that belong to all
Canadians. Worse, they are no longer interested in a sovereign democratic
Canada. They are busy creating a North American Union. We have to expose
this. Our federal government has racked up enormous surpluses by slashing
funding to people programs. They continue to lie to us pretending there is
insufficient money to fund our needs. In the week of November 15,2005 the
Liberals announced they had $10.2billion to $12.5 billion of surplus money
for the year 2005. In the year 2010 they expect to have $18.5 billion
surplus. For the 6 year period between 2005 and 2010-11 they will have had a
$54.5 billion total surplus. (Source: Globe and Mail, November 15, 2005).
The Globe and Mail referred to the Liberal budget plan released November 15,
2005. The Globe and Mail wrote: "The Liberals also unveiled a multi-year
plan for growth and prosperity that's meant to serve as a blueprint for
improving Canada's competitiveness in light of what Mr. Goodale calls 'the
profound reordering of the global economy as new giants such as India and
China emerge'" .

Note the language congruence between the Liberal 'multi-year' 'blueprint'
for 'growth and prosperity' and the language within the various reports and
agreements and plans and laws to which I referred in part 2 of the series of
articles on the "Morphosis and Sabotage of Canada by our own government".

Connect the dots. Year 2010 is the target date of the Canada/US/ Mexico task
force's planned North American Union. Year 2010 is the year of the $54.5
billion total surplus. How is that "surplus" to be used? Not to restore the
social programs they pillaged to create the surplus. It will be used to pay
for the "architecture" of the "paradigm" for cooperation, i.e. the North Ame
rican Union, or as they call it, the NAISP, The North America Initiative for
Security and Prosperity. The June 2005 "Report of the Ministers to the
Leaders" referred to their task of creating an "architecture" to effect the
goals of the Leaders. The goals of the Leaders (Fox, Martin, Bush) were set
out in their "Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement" signed March
2005. On the website of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE)
there is a report by them of their work through 2003 -2004. The report is
dated April 2004 but was posted November 2, 2005 under "News and
Information" under a section called "North American Security and
Prosperity". It is called "New Frontiers. Building a 21st century Canada-
United States Partnership in North America, April 2004." In the preface of
that report Thomas P. d' Aquino, President, and Chief Executive, along with
Richard L. George, Chairman, write, "While the Council's fundamental vision
for North America remains trilateral, we believe that to be most effective
in addressing some of the key challenges facing our continent today. Canada
and the United States must take the lead in developing a new "paradigm" for
cooperation, one that will increase the security of our respective citizens
and maximize the ability of our countries to prosper in a world marked by
increasingly intense competition among developed and developing countries.".
In the introduction of the report, the CCCE references the competition
growing from China and India which the Liberal 2005 election blueprint
mimics. The CCCE wrote at page 2, " As emerging economies such as China,
India and Brazil move up the development curve, they are growing in
importance both as customers and as fierce competitors in the service s well
as manufacturing sectors. "

So, where will our money go that we do, in fact, have? First and foremost it
will go to create the architecture of the new regime-e.g., construction of
different border facilities, transportation and security facilities in
airports, highway, and ferry systems. Read back through part 2 of my article
and you will realize the areas of expenditure to facilitate the goals. Match
the words in those agreements to the words of the Liberal campaign
'blueprint".

Further, out of that burgeoning surplus our government will continue to
bailout and further enrich the banks by paying more and more money over to
the endless unnecessary growing debt arising out of the failure to use our
Bank of Canada. The Liberals and Conservatives plan to give massive tax
breaks to corporations. They will spend on the arms industry as Canada joins
the US military machine.

None of this is what Canadians really want. But we are not asked. And those
who complain are ignored. There is something very wrong with this picture.

The CCCE blueprint demands more deregulation and privatization. The "40
point Smart Regulations Plan" announced by our government March 2005
accommodates that demand. See Part 2 of my series of articles on this

sabotage of Canada. The lie is that deregulation and privatization will be
good for all of us, a betterment of the economy. In fact, they are the
stripping off of all the protections for the safety and health of consumers.
The legal and fiduciary duty of a private corporation, its first priority,
is to use its investment to make a profit for its shareholders.
The US has just recently passed a law that removes the liability of
pharmaceutical companies for any harm to consumers caused by the mandatory
vaccinations the US is planning. Canada will follow suit. How much more
Draconian can they get??

George Galloway, a British Member of Parliament talked about the
privatization of their railroads in an interview by Thom Hartmann , May 26,
2005 on Air America, AM620 KPOJ in Portland Oregon. Galloway said this:
"British Rail, which was owned by the state, which was a nationalized
railway, was probably the least loved institution in the United Kingdom when
Mrs. Thatcher privatized it. Now, fully 80%, of the people of the country
(80, eight zero percent of the people of the country) want the railway taken
back into public ownership, because they realize now that we're paying three
times the subsidy to the private owners of the privatized railways that we
were paying to the nationalized railways, and we've got a dirtier, more
dangerous, and more expensive service as a result. It takes longer now to go
from London to Birmingham on the train than it does to go from where I'm
sitting in the House of Commons to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and it's only
110 miles from London to Birmingham. We've had a whole series of railway
disasters caused by people cutting corners to save costs, to make more
profits. We've had delays that would make your hair stand on end; people in
the depths of winter being delayed 5, 7 hours on railway journeys, and we
have rolling stock which has not improved since the public sector days. All
that's happening is that we're giving state subsidies to private owners who
are putting it in their pockets."

Privatization of any universal public needs is the vehicle for the theft of
our power and control over our selves and our resources, and hence the theft
of our personal and political survival. In this country, the cheap sell-off
and /or actual demolition of fully functional hospitals to and for private
operations is an example of the most outrageous abuse of the public trust.
As is the give-away of our hydro and gas utilities. Those who perpetrate
this kind of betrayal of the public interest should be treated and punished
as the criminals they are. It is no excuse to change the laws to permit it
and then say it is legal. It is still immoral, wrong and harmful to society.

But the situation is getting much worse. The global regime run by a cabal of
financial/military/industrialists has no borders. It needs to be able to
move around the world for its maximum profit and to avoid any countries that
deign to hold them accountable. It has had a great run in the third world
countries, but now wants control over the economies of the developed world
by way of the trade agreements.

There is jockeying of control of areas of the world. There is the European
Union power block. India/China/ Russia is another emerging block. The point
of the US aggression in the middle east is to keep that rich area out of the
Asian Russian block. There has to be another big block to enhance the power
of the North American industrialist elite:- North American Union- NAU??(
NAISP)

However, there are cracks in the globalizers success because people are not
stupid. In the last 10 years the anti-globalization movement of citizens has
been fighting back exposing the lies and hypocrisy and greed. They created a
massive peaceful resistance movement using the tool of the internet, and
exercising their democratic rights of dissent, peaceful assembly, and
freedom of movement. (This is why the US has passed a law recently that
spies on internet users and gives police powers to restrict the use. Canada
is following suit with a similar bill before our House of Commons.)

Citizens rushed easily to the locations of the international meetings to
confront the globalizers. Politicians of the hosting countries erected
barriers to separate the voice of the citizen protestors from the ears and
eyes of the globalizers. The citizens became a real nuisance. In the EU they
were responsible for disseminating sufficient information to defeat the EU
constitution.

It was the worldwide citizens' movement that killed the Multilateral
Agreement on Investments (MAI) . It was the French politicians who finally
read the stuff and agreed with the citizens and ended up being the deciding
world voice that stopped the MAI in its tracks in October of 1998. In the
summer of 2005, it was a public pressure and education process from the
citizens movements in France and Holland who influenced those people to vote
NO on the European constitution. The other EU countries were not given the
vote on the issue. Their political leaders listened to the bureaucrats, did
not read, and signed. From the public interest point of view, that agreement
was another economically crippling, liberty stripping and sovereignty
killing arrangement.

Even though two world wars provided horrific lessons, people do not learn
well from history. Too often we do not even know our history. As time passed
it became easier and easier for the greedy ones to weasel their way back
into the mind-set of too many politicians who have forgotten or never knew
their history. Like the gambling industry that can out-wait the citizen
movements who successfully oppose the gambling expansion for so long as the
citizen movements can survive, at the global level, the cabal of financial
/military /industrialists have waited out the global citizens movement of
opposition and resistance. But, the cabal is not having an easy win. They
are determined to seal the cracks and to eliminate the opposition. What is
their new tool?? Anti-terrorism. Who is their facilitator? Our own
government.

The answer to the irritating swarm of citizen mosquitoes is real barriers!
Laws that would really prevent dissent. Laws that would stifle the capacity
to stop the train. The globalists have resurrected an old bogeyman- fear,
and his companion, security. Our government via its bureaucracy tells us the
bad guys are around the corner or under the bed and are coming to get us.
They tell us the only way to be safe from this threat is to strip ourselves
naked, point the finger at the brown skin, stop talking to each other, and
submit to leashes.

The recent rapidly produced anti-terrorism laws have removed centuries-long
legal rights and protections under the guise of security. These laws are
nothing more than tools to enforce the globalist agenda. Let us be very
clear about this. They are creating a police state. The tragedy of 9/11 was
exploited to deliver suppression of the constitutional rights of citizens.
The US moved first with its Patriot Act and Homeland Security Act. England ,
Australia and Canada followed quickly. Our politicians are hard at work with
a complicit media to convince us we need to give up our liberties just as
the citizens of the US have been forced to do.

The laws, the plans, agreements and arrangements implement a regime that is
unconstitutional, undemocratic, and despotic; a process that consigns
centuries of justice and civil and human rights to the trash can.

How can this be?? How can our government do this? Who exactly did it?
Parliament, Caucus, the PMO? We must embark on a massive campaign demanding
every MP reveal his/her role in this treason. We must make each one of these
agreements and arrangements an election issue.

And what is CAP going to do about it? We are going to mount the best
campaign possible in the upcoming federal election. We are going to do our
best to run candidates in every riding- committed informed candidates who
see the writing on the wall, who care, and who will mount the barricades.

I was interviewed in September 2005 by a public policy forum group operating
out of Ottawa. The interviewer informed me they had recently learned from
their polling of Canadians that 3 out of 5 Canadians WANT MORE SAY IN HOW
THE COUNTRY RUNS. Big surprise, eh?

Our challenge is to be able to communicate that CAP is a real alternative, a
vehicle saved for the people to use to assert and govern
ourselves.

Of interest is that the North American Union plan has no reference to any
electoral government. They do not need or want a democratic government. The
North American Union is not to be a system of, by, and for the people. Its
raison d'être is to be a unit to promote the needs of the
military/industrial/financial complex -period.

By the same token, for the people of Canada, United States and Mexico, the
political parties currently function as patsies for the Chief Executive
Officers of the NAISP. The MP's are irrelevant for our needs UNLESS we take
back control of our nations.

We need Parliamentary reform, electoral reform, and inner party reform to
give the people democracy. In Canada, The Canadian Action Party/parti action
Canadienne is a legitimate vehicle. It remains viable to be used by citizens
if they choose. A full slate of principled Canadian patriot candidates would
have an impact. It is the only democratic route. We have
a real Canadian alternative party ----CAP/PAC
