With the final ratification of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) occurring at some point in 2010 at a yet to be named elitist stronghold somewhere in Canada, the three countries of North America will, for all intensive purposes, be merged into a union with a corporate oligarchy at the helm of power.
This union will have been achieved through the co-operation of successive liberal and conservative governments in Canada, the bush administration (and all possible successors) in America, and the leadership of Fox and Calderon in Mexico.
The most immediate critique of the SPP is that backroom deals between neoliberal actors and neo-con parties have never led to the SPP being discussed openly on the floors of the legislative assemblies of any North American country. As few as 0.00000014% of the population (that is around 60 people of an estimated 440,000,000 total population) are negotiating and securing agreements which will affect every aspect of our lives. Why do our elected representatives not discuss or vote on the SPP in the legislature?
Stumble It!
