Neighbors And Friends: The Future Of US-Canada Relations

Posted on Friday, July 07 at 11:13 by jensonj
Today, PM Harper will be visiting President Bush in the White House for discussions on a wide range of topics. It will be a nice change of pace for the President, as he has grown accustomed to Canadian officials — especially prime ministers — whose far left ideologies sharply contradict that of the present Administration. More than anything else, PM Harper's visit reemphasizes his deep commitment to strong relations with the United States, which have suffered some setbacks in recent years. Mr. Bush also can expect a major improvement in atmospherics after years of prickly relations with Liberal Party governments, whose members were accused at times of adopting anti-American positions to score political points.[...] "Canadians take a very pragmatic view about their relationship [with America]," said Tim Woolstencroft, managing partner of Strategic Counsel, a research firm based in Ottawa. "We want to have good relations with the United States and resolve issues and concerns." http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/07/06/201846.php [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on July 7, 2006]

    Oh man, this article hurts, you can cut the propaganda with a knife. Oh well, once you learn 9/11 was an inside job, you have to be concerned about what is really going on. Canada is one false flag terrorist attack away from becoming American. If something happens in Canada, I'm sure the Americans will come swooping in to "protect us" from those pesky terrorists, and the Canadians will welcome them with open arms. The U.S. seems to have the right to do anything it wants, as long as they use the excuse that their fighting terror, and Canada will be no different. Canada has oil, and that has to concern everyone here. If 9/11 was an Inside Job, what is really being played out here for us? <br><br> However, if we can expose the 9/11 attacks as a scam, then any and all justifications for the bogus "war on terror" will be null and void and the insanity being perpetrated by Bush and Blair can be stopped. <br><br> The media is complicit in this crime, as they refuse to cover anything regarding this topic. To show how thorough the media blackout has been, here are some examples of people who have spoken out on this topic and have been ignored: <br><br> Robert Bowman, former Director of Advanced Space Programs Development for the U.S. Air Force in the Ford and Carter administrations, and a former United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel with 101 combat missions. He has publicly stated 9/11 was an Inside Job and is running for office: <br><br> http://bowman2006.com/issues_az.htm#9_11 <br><br> The Veterans for 9/11 Truth, featuring veterans from Iraq, Afghanistan, Viet Nam, and others have spoken out here: <br><br> http://www.v911t.org/ <br><br> Scholars for 9/11 Truth, featuring engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and others have spoken out: <br><br> http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org/index.html <br><br> Sibel Edmonds, FBI Translator and Whistleblower made the statement that: "once this issue gets to be...investigated, you will be seeing certain people that we know from this country standing trial; and they will be prosecuted criminally" as well as: "There is direct evidence involving no more than ten American names that I recognized". <br><br> Sibel has subsequently become the most gagged whistleblower in history. Check her out here: <br><br> http://www.justacitizen.com/ <br><br> Then there is Morgan Reynolds, Ph.D., who is professor emeritus at Texas A&M University and former director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis headquartered in Dallas, TX. He served as chief economist for the US Department of Labor during 20012, George W. Bush's first term. <br><br> Here is a video featuring Morgan Reynolds from a June 2006 Truth Conference in Chicago: <br><br> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8180123292618944278 <br><br> As I said, if we can expose 9/11 as a fraud, we can put an end to the illegal wars currently underway. Additionally, there is a great new documentary out called Terrorstorm that investigates the history of government false flag attacks. You can watch it here: <br><br> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8180123292618944278 <br><br> Finally, here is the mother of a 9/11 victim speaking out in front of a sign that says "9/11 Was an Inside Job": <br><br> http://www.911podcasts.com/display.php?vid=31

    Canada will no longer be known as a peacefull nation nor as a peace Keeper. That don't appear to bother Canadians as they are willing to not see it. When the so-called terrorists learn Canada is in bed with Americans, they will have reason to seek revenge here as well. Perhaps it's time we all crawl under a rock and pretend it isn't happening. Harper will win the majority in the next election and for those of us not flying the stars and stripes today, may have to seek shelter. Harper and his cronies are bound to turn Canada into a slave for the USA. We are to do as told and be thankfull for it. Harper seems to think we can have a mighty force to make the Americans proud of it. Bush told Harper if the USA is attacked by missiles (Korea) it wold be as if Canada was attacked. One may be assume that also means when Americans attack another country, it will be as if Canada did as well. When will Harper be sending troops to Iraq to relieve the unfortunate American troops over there?

    Next, Canada will provide nuclear power to give the US with the energy they need(want). Bush swears the USA will soon be free of foreign energy and obviously Canada will not be considered a "foreign" country.

    Didn't Ron Dart refer to Quislings like Stephen Harper as "Compradors"?

    Not to mention, if Canadians want to fly in Canada, between Canadian cities, such as Winnipeg-Calgary, or Toronto-Halifax, then airlines such as Air Canada are ALREADY refusing some people based on a US government watch list. I forget the guy`s name, but a Canadian political cartoonist was recently refused flight from Vancouver to Victoria based on US data! The US government and their fascist laws have no business here in Canada!

    Hi Dave,

    I also saw a Catholic priest interviewed on the National last night. He had a common name, John Smith, and was refused access between two Canadian cities. He tried to clear himself and was asked to show a passport and he refused on principle. Show a passport in Canada for a Canadian flight? FThat! It seems that now that Harper is in government all hell is breaking loose. Everything's on fast track while he has the chance to do his dirty deed.

    Dave, I hadn't heard this story so I went looking to personally validate how far we've sunk. The cartoonists name was Shahid Mahmood, in his words:<br />
    <br />
    “Earlier this year I had given a radio interview about my circumstances on CBC’s The Current. Immediately after the interview I was surreptitiously contacted by Jean Lapierre’s assistant. He told me he had classified information which would help clarify matters for me. Upon meeting him I was subtly told to “back-off”. Instead of being told anything helpful, I was asked what my political leanings were as a syndicated political cartoonist and that all my attempts to get any type of answer would be stonewalled at the Ministry of Transportation. I was also told that the more media presence I gave the case the “thicker and thicker” my file would get.”<br />
    <br />
    The rest found here:<br />
    <br />
    “<a href="http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:vjmXGSEQNfQJ:www.canadiancartoonists.com/news_article_shahid2.html+cartoonist+denied+flight&hl=en&gl=ca&ct=clnk&cd=2">http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:vjmXGSEQNfQJ:www.canadiancartoonists.com/news_article_shahid2.html+cartoonist+denied+flight&hl=en&gl=ca&ct=clnk&cd=2</a><br />

    Add political cartoons and Antiwar slogan T-shirts to the list of things we can be grateful to be kept safe from. I can picture at various destinations along the sleepy Canadian consciousness a few who have heard the story focus long enough to squint menacingly in direction of Ottawa in a very un-Canadian-like way before concluding that it’s only a false alarm, cause their name is Smith or Baker and they know better than to rattle the cages of power with edgy political cartoons. Forget that the same mechanisms and rogue maneuvers, out of public sphere of accountability and transparency, that boxed in Shahid can snare a Smith or a Baker just as nicely, the necessity just hasn’t arisen yet.<br />

    Oops 4Canada, I see I've you had already provided the proof that the safer surnames like Smith no longer provide immunity. Didn't read carfully enough :)

    The future of Canada IS the U.S. And sooner rather than later.

    Mmmm... Frog Soup. Please, Sir, may I have some more?
