Canada Being Sold Out Under SPP

As some of you may know, Canada is in the process of aligning its policies with those of the USA. Very quietly. Without public debate. It is all part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) signed in Waco, Texas, 2005. This is not a left-right issue -- Martin signed the accord, Harper is ardently continuing it. This seems to be a corporate-driven venture.

What does SPP mean for Canadians?

We are adopting US immigration, security and foreign policy. Commits Canada to supporting US-lead wars on terror and increased military spending. Our military is now led by USA's Northcom. We now have no-fly lists. We are likely to have to accept fingerprinting and other biometrics. We will be required to treat immigrants and refugees differently.

Our resources will be proportionally shared. Huge areas of the US are short of water. Our government is currently moving toward bulk exporting of water. Oil export will increase (now 63%) due to 'proportional sharing'.

Lowered environmental and health protection. NAFTA already allows corporations to sue our federal governments when their regulations stand in the way of profit. SPP allows corporations to sue provincial and municipal governments -- which is where many safety standards rest.
