Paper Says Closer Trade, Defence Ties With U.S. Key To Greater Clout

Prosparity garunteed by signing un-level playing field contracts and trade agreements with the U.S.A. that undermine and subordinate Canadian's values, rights, freedoms as well as Canada's sovereignty.

As the lumber agreement, the Mad Cow issue, NAFTA and our stance on the Iraq war and Ballistic missile treaty show that Canada can not exercise its democratic rights and move freely without fear because it has not gotten approval from and risking offending our neighbor / friend / family to the south of us. Every agreeement we sign with the U.S.A. Canada's position is subordinated along with our rights and liberties. Why can't Canadians and Canadian Business expect a level playing field receiving equally the same rights and protection in Business, Trade and Travel. Why can't Canadian Businesses expect and recieve the same treatment and rights as American Businesses do under NAFTA in Canada? Why shouldn't Canadian Businesses in the U.S.A. have the same access to State and Federal government funding? There is nothing Free in U.S. free trade agreements!

The U.S. informs its allies but does not consult them. What would be different with the Missile Shield Program? "We think it's in Canada's sovereign interest to be in the room to decide what's going to happen when there's an incoming missile," said Ambassador Paul Cellucci. Does anyone really think that with the speed that ICBM’s fly so slow that there is going to be a discussion over whether to shoot it down? I think not! We will be lucky to get a call even if we ever know about it. Let’s face it, the missile, no matter how you calculate it, if detected soon enough to intercept it will be intercepted over Canadian territory and the impact or fall out lands on Canada and the people of Canada. Yes but isn't that the point away that it does not land on Americans or American territory, Canda isn't a consideration.

all I can say on this paper is consider the source!

I'd think it was better suited to be used as bird cage liner myself, but then again, budgies,canaries, and zebra finches learning neo-classical economics might get me in hot water with the local PETA chapter.

This stuff works really well for housetraining dogs; mine has no preference, he'll
pee on them all with equal amount of disinterest....
except he doesn't like the glossy stuff, too slippery and he gets his feet wet! I
feel the same way with this stuff, I hate the glossy b.s. cause underneath its still
the same poop, just slipperier!

What does one expect to hear from SelloutGlobal? There is nothing American that they don't want for us.

If there was ever a time for Canadians to become pushy - now is the time - for time is running out on this nation called Canada.

So Frick and Frack have spoken. Why don't these two
creepy characters go live down south of the border and
take the entire Conservative Government with them.

What the hell went so wrong with this country? How can
you have these redneck hypocritical out of touch
jackasses attempting to create and implement policy?
People need to wake the up and send these spooks
packing already.
