Majority Oppose Chapter 11 Of NAFTA

When our lying, treasonous PM, Cabinet members, MP`s, Premiers, and MPP`s are put on the spot about NAFTA, they either don`t want to talk about it at all and get all scared like kids caught stealing, or they lie and say that NAFTA has been good! I don`t know how these clowns can look in the mirror.

I have no doubt that the majority of Canadians would agree... to this point anyway, just so long as the don't actually have to do anything significant about it, or seriously hold the government's feet to the flames.

I know one has to be a bit of a shit to actually point this out on the left, and to the broad masses of citizens, but it is regrettably true.

Now hopefully this is going to change, and the kind of times are coming into being as we speak, that if they are ever going to, they will begin to do so soon. At least, soon, if they are not already, in the beginning, they will begin to want to... even before they actually do anything.

That said from time to time, life can be full of surprises, and when folks begin to get mad, it can explode and take on a life all of its own. (Check out the faces of those steel workers on CBC News today, whose operations just shut down back east. It's coming. These guys were pissed. And growing US protectionism, though it has really always been there, is not going to make them anymore pleased with NAFTA.)

Workers need to begin talking seriously, here at the beginning, first to each other and then more broadly, about taking over their operations. If capitalism can't do it, then we should... in the interests of the nation and the people. The structures need to begin to be created, in an atmosphere of deadly revolutionary seriousness, about how we, the working class, begin to make things happen despite the ruling class, turfing them where and as necessary.

Do the Canadian people not continue to need food, clothing, means of transport, defence,health care, education and the other elements of sustenance and the rounded development of the national economy, just because the capitalist "free market", so-called, has collapsed and no longer works for the people and the nation?

Of course they do. Let's the working class begin NOW, early, before matters deteriorate further, to get about precisely that; securing our own needs, those of our families and the needs of the nation. Fuck global capitalism's "free market" manipulations and game playing. They have become only a giant sucking sound, drawing all the wealth reserves of the country unto themselves.

For shame.

What THEY can't or won't do, WE should, by all means and with whatever haste.

If capitalism is the only fish we have to fry, and truly the only game in town, then we are individually and collectively done for, and all our labours have been for naught. We might as well truly just blow our collective heads off.

The real test of manhood, womanhood and citizenship is happening NOW.

If nothing else, it is time to scare the piss out of them, with a display of the power they have always sought to belittle and discredit.

As both the Canadian government and the US government have had problems with chapter 11, I think we could easily do a side deal to eliminate chapter 11, before opening up the rest of NAFTA. Obama and Harper could quickly eliminate it with the full support of the opposition in both countries.
