Concordia Citizens In Action Conference Examined SPP

The Security and Prosperity Partnership between the three North American nations is “an organization of mice, presided by a cat,” says constitutional rights lawyer Julius Grey.



At a Citizens in Action conference at Concordia last week, Grey expressed concerns over how free trade and security deals are negotiated between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico: Behind closed doors, in the case of the SPP. The U.S., the “cat,” does not compromise on issues of national security, he said, and Canada is also following suit by taking part in post-9/11 hysterics.



“The chance of all the security hysteria being dismantled is small,” Grey said, referring to American anti-terrorist measures like stricter border controls and increased military spending. “On paranoia and foreign policy, the Democrats wouldn’t do much better.”
