| | North American WoesA couple of entries ago, I linked to an article
about how powerful
North American people are secretly and undemocratically arranging to
eliminate Canada's remaining sovereignty and self-determination and to
give its assets to the United States, effectively
ending Canada's period as a country. Both Americans and Canadians should be
deeply concerned about what is going on.
A friend of mine has written further on this subject,
explaining why Canadians must never think that this would result in our
becoming "the 51st state." That would have many more official
repercussions than the stealthy sellout which is in fact taking place. Canada will not gain any status by these dealings.
Here's another article about it,
from the same source as the one I posted earlier. There is more and
more out there about this process. The people who are doing it are less
secretive about it lately, and are representing it as just a boring
business thing that nobody should take time out from their busy TV
schedule to think about. What shall we do about this? We have a right
to
object and to prevent these initiatives from going forward outside our
established democratic institutions, which are in place so that our
elected representatives will act according to the will of the people.
We need political leadership that will help us to expose
these practices for the treasonous theft they really are, end them, and
effectively prevent them from happening
in the future.
We live in truly shocking times. Where are the leaders who will work for us?
Next time you read an article about how a bunch of unruly protesters
were abused and arrested outside a conference with an innocuous name
like "Atlantica," consider: what could be making people feel that they
must take up placards and risk life and livelihood like that? Why does
the media highlight violent protest (about which most people
disapprove) and seldom explain why the protesters are so concerned? Maybe protesters are doing what's needful.
Maybe we should all be doing this work before there's nothing left for
us to protest about.
