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!

Dalton, I like your brother, but you're a real asshole

Premier Dalton McGuinty’s officials plotted to keep the G20 law secret weeks before the Star revealed that Toronto police believed they had the power to arrest anyone near the summit site.

This is not something that should be kept secret. 

And you, Vic Vicious , you get liar added to asshole for trying to play Lady Macbeth.  We know who really was the force behind the act.

The feds co-ordinated security and funded it.

"I certainly wasn't aware of the concerns that were being raised with the bill." - Vic Vicious

"You're talking about the regulation that the McGuinty government passed? It was sometime after the G8/G20 event," Toews told reporters Wednesday when asked about when he learned of Ontario's passing changes to the Public Works Protection Act. That statement contradicts at least one of the findings of Marin, whose report suggests the RCMP and Toews's department did know about the Toronto police request to have the controversial regulation passed.

Hell, Vicious, we ordinary, Tim drinkin' and Starbuck sipping Canadians knew about it before the event.  Would you like me to get you a subscription to the Citizen?  Recommend a few blogs?

And there's this bit of damning evidence:

Email response to CBC from RCMP Sgt. Julie Gagnon:

Q: When was the RCMP made aware of the PWPA?

A: A few months before the actual event, the RCMP was made aware that TPS [Toronto Police Service] was considering using the PWPA however; the RCMP was not consulted on if TPS would use the PWPA during the Summits.



But hey - you fuckers needed that dry run for the reincarnated SPP, right?
