It is only our party that is willing to dare to raise those issues that threaten our survival as a nation and even as a democracy. That is not an exaggeration. I am shocked to learn details of the many dealings our government has entered that push us further and further out of sovereignty and into a weak submissive colony with no significant status or independent power. We have a Constitution and we have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms all of which is not just eroded but dismantled under the mantle of Security.
We have a jewel of a tool in our Bank of Canada, created by the Bank of Canada Act. It empowers Canadians to meet our needs in a a just, humane, and fair social system and infrastructure, from medicare to education, to environment, to housing, to bridges, to highways, to power plants, etc. Our Bank of Canada has been hidden and ignored deliberately by those who prefer to dismantle Canada.
The power given to our Bank of Canada by statute puts great control into the hands of Canadians via our government, but successive governments since the mid-1970s have refused to use it. In their ideology, it will not do, you see, to leave that kind of power in the people. It has been repeated for centuries by numerous significant thinkers and leaders of the world, especially American Presidents and world bankers, that money creation and control is the real force. Put that power outside the control of the government and it then does not matter who is elected because government then will be powerless on all that really matters. Only CAP dares to talk of this fact.
Today the world, and in our case, Canada is at great risk by uncontrolled and unfettered money power. As much as any time in the past wherein Leaders warned about the misuse of this power by uncontrolled financial elites, Canada is facing the brink, politically, and economically. And no one but CAP is willing to talk about it.
This abuse of power is manifested by "trade" agreements (which are really investment agreements, not trade agreements), that go beyond NAFTA into arrangements Paul Martin already has signed in fact and/or in principle. Our government already has begun processes that cripple Canadian sovereignty and tie us to the bootstraps of the United States. In particular, Prime Minister Martin signed an agreement in March of 2005 called the Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement with President Bush and President Fox wherein the three of them agreed to implement the grand design of the Chief Executive Officers of the most influential corporations of North America to make this continent theirs.
The series of arrangements and agreements I have looked at include:
1. The Canada -U.S. Smart Border Declaration with a 30 point action plan signed Dec 12,2001 (In this agreement, Canada promised to bring in anti-terrorist laws that mirrored the US laws and to start the process of dismantling our borders to accommodate the US policies and plans, not Canadian.)
2. The Public Safety Act, 2002 with despotic powers to certain Cabinet Ministers
3. The Anti Terrorism Act currently under review
4. The North American Security and Prosperity Initiative- a report of a project launched January 2003 by the Canadian Council of Chief Executives to develop a Strategy for Shaping Canada's Future Within North America and Beyond.
5. The Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement signed by Bush and Martin in March of 2005
6. 40 Point Smart Regulation Action Plan announced March 2005
7. The Report of Ministers to the Leaders-SPP- North America June 2005 (Emerson, Pettigrew, and MacLellan are the Canadian Ministers involved who have been assigned the job to make the transformation happen by facilitating structural changes in the national apparatus.)
The goal is to change the region from being three nations, independent and free, ruled by their respective Constitutions, to an investment area under the rule of military/financial/industrial corporations free from any National rules that slow down or in any way impede their profits and power and greed as they compete for world domination.
Our own government deceives us pretending our constitutional entitlements are intact by leaving them technically on the books. But legally, they emasculate them by overriding them under the mantle of "national security". It is all a hoax . It is an overreaching of power that destroys democracy. It has happened before in history. Only the Canadian Action Party is willing to talk of these matters.
The Conservatives are more open about their desire to feed this appetite. But let us be very clear. The Liberals and the Conservatives are the same wolves in sheep's clothing. The NDP refuses still to abrogate NAFTA which is the base for the expanded super NAFTA overtaking all our sovereign powers beyond economic now bridged over to the military, policing, the judicial and legal structures- the core of our national framework. The Greens are split evenly about abrogation. Failure on this front means catastrophe for Canada. None of these parties will acknowledge or use the power in our Bank of Canada.
Canadians who fail to face this head on are complicit in permitting Canada and our democracy to die.
I have detailed my research on these processes in a 3-part article called the Metamorphosis and Sabotage of Canada by our own Government.

2006 federal election may result in the death of all political parties.
It is an interesting concept ... one I have often dreamed of.
As John Lennon once sang, "Imagine ..." Imagine if all the people
stopped battling each other and addressed the issues. Solved the
issues. Found peace. Fed the hungry ... imagine.
The best of Festivus to everyone! And a happy New Year!
