Deal that could lead to U.S. domination of Canada flying under media radar
Business CEOs, faceless bureaucrats deciding future of North America behind closed doors

Canada Day is long past, and a parade is hardly what you'd call hard news--but work with me here.

The Canadian military put in an appearance, but where were the real representatives of Canada, our true masters? Where was the float bearing the CEOs and political insiders?

The Security and Prosperity Agreement between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico aims for a more integrated North American economy and security region. If that's news to you, join the club. Apparently the vast majority of the Canadian and American public is in the dark on this one. The SPP was deemed one of the top 25 stories in 2006 by Project Censored, a respected academic body devoted to ferreting out big stories that fail to go prime time or make the front page. Even the Project Censored story, "U.S. plans for hemispheric domination include Canada," failed to get national media attention.
The harmonization includes resources, agricultural, health and environmental measures, along with the merging of U.S. and Canada military under Northcom. This is not some paranoid future projection from conspiracy-mongers, it's happening right now. In 2005, when reporters asked then Canadian ambassador to the U.S. Frank McKenna about Canadian participation in Star Wars, he replied, "We're part of it now." According to Project Censored, "It has also been noted that Canadian personnel are taking part in large scale American operations space war games to prepare for combat in orbit."

At the second summit of the SPP in 2006 in Cancun, Mexico, the SSP's official trinational working group came into being: the North American Competitiveness Council, comprising 30 CEOs from some of North America's largest companies. According to the Council of Canadians, "the NACC has been mandated to set priorities for the SPP and to drive the integration process through changes in government in all three countries."
