Canada's Deep Integration Into A North American Union

The CCCE was founded in 1976 and is Canada's leading business organization made up of 150 top executives. It is essentially a think tank dealing with public policy, which has intimate connections to both the Liberal and Conservative parties with many of their recommendations being implemented. They were one of the leading forces behind the development and promoting of the FTA and NAFTA and have called for the reinvention of North American borders, while pressuring the government to further merge our military and security with the United States. In April of 2004, they released the paper, “Building a 21st Century Canada-United States Partnership in North America.” It called for deeper North American integration and the need for more U.S. bilateral deals. Many of the recommendations put forth by the CCCE's own Security and Prosperity Initiative later became part of the SPP. People like its Chief Executive and President Thomas d'Aquino and John Manley have been hard at work, setting the stage for a NAU. They would have us believe that enormous benefits will be brought about through deeper integration. In a sense they are right-- some Canadians will benefit, but it will be the elite and multinational corporations, along with those who have connections-- not you or me. Some putting forth this agenda might even believe that they are serving the best interests of all Canadians, but their motivation is suspect and must be questioned.
