SECURITY and PROSPERITY PARTNERSHIP (SPP) SHOULD CONCERN US ALL
Deeper integration
with the USA can have enormous consequences, touching on issue as
Human Rights and Freedoms, the Environment, the Military, the control
over our Natural Resources (as water and oil). SPP is working to
harmonize Canada-US programs and procedures, mostly pressured by
demands of the big business community in Canada.
"It is quite
literally about eliminating Canada's ability to determine independent
regulatory standards, environmental protections, energy security,
foreign, military, immigration and other policies" ( Maude Barlow of
Council of Canadians)
Canadians need to
know if that is what they want, however this SPP agenda is being
implemented without debate or input from the public.
Dr. John Foster will
speak on SPP this coming Sunday June 10 during the service at
First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa
titled "Our
Democracy in question: continental integration and the Canadian future.
Dr. Foster has
been social justice policy officer with the United Church of Canada,
CEO of Oxfam Canada, and is now at the North South Institute which is
Canada's First Independent, Non-Governmental and Non-Partisan research
institute focused on International Development.
