Oh look! Harper lied!

Months before the Conservative government dismissed talk of a perimeter security accord with the United States as hearsay, senior officials were quietly discussing a draft of the border agreement...Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama signed an agreement in February that could lead to a formal North American security perimeter.

The CONs lie.  All the time.  As I said before, that contempt for Parliament and for Canadians is the main issue during this election because nothing else that comes out of any CPC MP's mouth can be trusted.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

The reincarnation has not yet been given a name, but genetic traits show it to be a clone of this.

Yes, our old pal SPP.

It's Friday night and I'm knackered, so just a few words for now.  Alison has a good write-upp on it as does Mentarch, and if I recall correctly, the archives of Good Doctors Pale and Prole, Mentarch, Dr. Dawg, and jj have a fair bit on the SPP.

I can't remember where I read it, but just before the SPP got quiet, someone in the know said they were going quiet for awhile and would come back under a different name because the original one has too many negative connotations.

In other words, the SPP never went away nor disbanded.  It has been quietly working away and planning it's big unveiling.  Well, partial unveiling, it seems since the agreement has to be sold to Canadians which is scum-bag politico-speak for bull-shit their way into our compliance.

And part of that sales pitch is to make us so afraid of terrorists and attacks from hostile countries that we will come to believe we need this "perimeter security" around all of North America.

But setting that perimeter around the US, Mexico, and Canada will make us bigger targets since we will be taking on US security issues.

Then there's the loss of privacy and civil rights.

And let's not forget the lowest common denominator in quality of goods and in product safety.

Oh, and wages taking a huge dive as barriers are softened allowing cheap, temp labour to cross borders.

And "shared" resources such as water...

More tomorrow.  Or less for Canadians, I should say.

Well, it's Friday evening and those pricks won't be doing much tonight, so have a good weekend!
