[3] Green Party US press on the Convention. Green party US National Meeting Press Release Excerpt: Dr. Janet Eaton of the Green Party of Canada spoke to US Greens at length on the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" (SPP), calling it a secretive deal between Presidents George W. Bush (US), Prime Minister Stephen Harper Canada), and President Calderon (Mexico) to create an international trade alliance with no congressional oversight or public scrutiny. Dr. Eaton warned that the SPP, which is built on the foundation established by NAFTA, is a dire threat to environmental, labor, and economic protections and that it would expand global corporate power at the expense of democracy. Dr. Eaton recommended transnational Green political opposition to the SPP, with a special effort to inform the public about the deal, since it has received minimal mainstream media coverage, especially in the US. http://www.greenparty.ca/en/policy/documents/deeper_look_spp http://www.greenparty.ca/en/policy/spp_FAQ [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on July 26, 2007]
