or our local (ottawa) city hall which dumped rep by pop in almagamation
french and rural GROSSLY over repped...

or read the vertical mozizc, which details eleite reps in cultural, eco and pol orgs.. (historically steady, regardless of the partry involved)

I protest a LOT... and it does little good... but i keep at it.
bro (the engineer) has written HIS manafesto

his run at politics got two elections annulled... (local club.) since this club now has about 12 million in land, a ripe target for yuppie takeovers, eh?

I started voting green when they started bombing power-lines. (historcally, we pension revolutionaies off, ESP'LLY if they're from que). atr least it gets their attention focused.

New Canadian Anthem- Thanks to our Politicians and SPP

Worked on this for a while, but I figure why sing a song, about greatness of Canada when we all know its full of lies and deceit.

New Canadian Anthem- Thanks to our Politicians and SPP



Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America under SPP has resulted in a lowering of standards for pesticide use in food production. Canada, he said, is giving in to demands by North American multi-national corporations to have SPP adopt U.S. standards. This exposes Canadian consumers to chemical toxins in food that had previously been banned in his country.



O SPP!

You took our home and native land!

Through corruption and theft

We glow from toxic radiation

The True North weak from disease

From far and wide, they poison our food and water

O SPP we can barley stand from disease.

O SPP keep our land** we don’t want to be free!



O SPP, we barley stand on guard for we have no land thanks to you.

O SPP, we understand that chemical poisons in our food and water is for our own good



O SPP! Where did the pines and maples go


Great prairies spread with disease and contaminated rivers

How dear to us thy broad domain of toxic waste

Spread East to Western sea!

Our land of hope for all no more

The True North weak and enslaved



All your media has brainwashed so many they cant see



O SPP your security as promised has stolen a once powerful country

Well first most the most important thing we need to discuss is Canadian Unity from coast to coast and Canadian Sovereignty.

We need to look at change, 100% new idea, out with the old boys running our country for corporations.

Two new Parties

Canadian Action Party for Federal goverment

http://www.canadianactionparty.ca/home.html

Also the a new party Called the BC FEDERATION Party

http://refedbc.com/siteA/

Problems for BC at the fundamental level require fundamental changes.

A BC Refederation Party government will propose three fundamental political changes to dramatically improve life for all British Columbians:

BCRefed IS THE ONLY PARTY THAT WILL EMPOWER THE PEOPLE by;

1 Installing a BC Constitution placing the people as the ultimate authority, rather than the Premier-chosen Lieutenant Governor.

2 In that BC Constitution, giving the people an optional veto over Victoria legislation, and workable recall.

3 From that BC Constitutional power, renegotiating with Ottawa our provincial rights unlawfully invaded by the federal charter.

BC Refed is the only party in the province that proposes another way, a better way, to govern ourselves in BC. Right now we in BC do not govern ourselves. We are ruled. It is time for a change.

SPP and Canadian Sovereignty

Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) developing between Canada, the US and Mexico, a point of view that must be said.

The Corporation of the elite believes strongly in decentralized services starting at the local community level where local authorities makes decisions. Then, as the need for higher authority is required to provide a particular service so the decision making in respect of that service moves up a notch, until decisions respecting things like sovereignty, trans-national transportation and international relations comes to rest at the federal level.

When one goes through this exercise and then takes a hard look at where SPP is heading can one see its undesirable aspects. SPP requires international non-representative political structures to manage such things as border security and trade (currently regulated under NAFTA). The border in question is not just the border to the south of Canada, but the border to the north also, which brings me to the issue I wish to discuss, Canadian-US border issues in the context of SPP.

Alaska-Yukon Border dispute

There is a long standing border dispute between Canada and the US in the Canadian Northwest Passage at the US border with the Yukon Territory. The US claims that the border running northwards should be at right angles to the direction of the coast at the coastal border point, whereas Canada says that the border running northwards should follow the direction of the global north-south meridian. The result is an important triangle of oil-rich seabed in contention.

Hecate Strait dispute
There is also a long standing border dispute involving the sovereignty of the Hecate Strait, the ocean-connected channel immediately north of the Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte) Islands, which is actually, under a treaty with the US, Canadian internal waters. When Russia sold Alaska to the US (where were we?) the border between Alaska and Canada (BC) had to be resolved and so a triumvirate of British civil servants did the job. The Alaska Panhandle was given to Alaska (i.e. the US) in return for which Canada was given the Hecate Strait. A line was drawn from one headland to another on the southern coastline of the Alaska Panhandle representing the terminus of Alsaka, that is to say, US sovereignty. The line is known simply as the "AB Line". Everything to the south of the AB Line, i.e the Hecate Strait, is Canadian internal waters. The US now seeks to push the AB Line out to the centre of the Hecate Strait thereby providing for itself waters rich in fish and other sea-life and a seabed that is prime for oil exploration.

Canadian sovereignty over the Northwest Passage
There is also a serious threat to Canadian sovereignty by claims by the US, backed by Russia, EU and Asian countries, to the waters and seabed of the Northwest Passage, which is increasingly being more and more ice free each year with global warming. Already commercial shipping has used the Northwest Passage instead of the Panama Canal to save 4000-6000 kilometres on the voyage from Europe to Asia. Larger ships, oil tankers, that cannot fit through the Panama Canal go via Cape Horn, the southern tip of South America, and will save 10,000 kilometres to reach some Asian markets by using the Northwest Passage. The waters of the Northwest Passage in dispute have, since the inception of Canada as a country, been recognized as Canadian internal waters. Note, the Canadian Archipelago is not in dispute, nor the western end of the Northwest Passage, which is adjacent to Alaska and therefore US waters. If Canada loses control over its Northwest Passage it loses the right to regulate navigation rights, fishing rights, oil exploration rights and other economic rights over the waters and seabed involved, which is massive.

Explanation
A quick word about internal waters. There are internal waters, territorial waters and the economic zone. Internal is 100% sovereign, territorial is sovereignty limited by such things as right of innocent passage, while economic zone is an area "managed" by the littoral state with respect to environmental, mineral and fishing rights. Internal waters are the same as if they were land, territorial waters extend 12 nautical miles (6080 feet = 1 n. mile) away from the coast and economic zones extend 200 miles.

Immigration
One final note. As a sovereign state, Canada enforces its immigration laws and regulations as the government of the day sees fit. Certainly, the US and Mexico are not consulted. Take a hard long look at the EU and the social strife caused in many of its individual states because of a lack of control over the movement of people from one country to another. I am, personally, in favour of increased immigration quotas for all ethnic groups, but in accordance with Canadian laws and regulations. If such laws and regulations are broken down or vacated by attrition under SPP, we will eventually have mass movement of people from the US and Mexico arriving in Canada whether we like it or not. That is the very essence of a NAU. No doubt, Canadians would equally be able to move south under those circumstances and such a move would be welcome to some, how many I cannot guess. But, is that the way we want to go? SPP will have its own laws and regulations that will trump ours. Given the unequal strengths of the partners under SPP, resolution of problems will be inevitably in favour of our cousins to the south.

Effect of SPP

Now, where does SPP fit into all this? I say, consider the resolution of such issues described above using the legal machinery of SPP. Ever heard of the "common good"? Well, think about these issues being resolved "in the common good" of an embryonic North American Union (NAU), which is, as Dr. Eaton says, where SPP is taking us. As far as I can see, it is good-bye Canada, hello NAU.
Moving to NAU

All of the problems I have outlined above will not arise today, but they surely will arise in the not too distant future in tandem with the encroachment on Canadian sovereignty by SPP/NAU. These are all hard issues that must be faced up to sooner rather than later if we are to retain Canadian sovereignty. I like the American people, but I don't care much for their political or juridical system, both of which are, if not controlled, then heavily influenced by the corporate personality
