Do Canadians know the dark underbelly of what a trade agreement is?
Have they been given their right of informed consent to agreements which alter the fabric of their nation, not to mention their democratic rights?
Successive Canadian governments have gutted our democracy and turned Canadians into the pawns of international agreements that affect their livelihoods, their quality of life, their health freedom, their Charter rights, and their right to democratic representation.
According to Stephen Harper, the new "facts of life" mean that Canadians must go along to get along.
That is what he said after the G20 meeting, outside of which, on the streets of Toronto, hundreds of innocent bystanders were corralled in a pouring rainstorm by a black phalanx of Darth Vader-like officers, later to be herded into what came to be known as Torontonamo: cold, steel-link cages with open-door porta-potties and one bench housed up to 35 people each, some of them with serious medical issues, including broken bones, no lawyers, no phone calls, no food, no water, no toilet paper.
As our Prime Minister and the pampered pols from elsewhere burped their gourmet food, the legitimate voices of Canadians were being brutally silenced outside.
These "facts of life" have a mind-numbing effect. And what galls me, what truly gets my goat, is the extreme arrogance with which Harper shrugs his shoulders and grins, with that rat-toothed grin of his, and calls the rape of everything Canadian, including her treasured democracy, a "fact of life"!
Considering the fact that right now the Liberals are neck and neck with the Conservatives, we could be rid of Harper in a matter of months. That'd work, if it weren't for the fact that the most likely candidate for the PMO would then be Michael Ignatieff, who, like Paul Martin before him, would advance the cause of globalism, as did Brian Mulroney. The only change we really ever see is the décor at 24 Sussex Drive.
