Great, we can agree on that at least. Wouldn't you also agree that our current trend is drifting away from localized politics and economics. We need to get back to local farming and local industries (as much as possible), so that we have more control over our own destinies. Currently, we are specializing and outsourcing - we hardly have any more connection to our own local communities. How many of the products (or even foods) are grown in your local area?

I believe in myself, and I want to live my life as independently and freely as possible. In an inter-connected world that is very difficult because the same system is being applied all over the world. Nation-states allows one much more control over one's own destiny. If you don't like one country, you can move to another. Also, in a globalized system, your individual vote is pretty much meaningless. However, I support more localized politics and economics so that your say actually matters. Even still, I try to rely on myself as much as I can.

Michael Hardner, your views and the establishment policies are turning a once independent nation into merely sub-nation in a world grid operated by the elites. Good job on selling out your country, your forefathers will be proud of you

Trade is good, but not all trade is equal. Good trade allows us to import goods we cannot produce on our own, or can not efficient produce (pineapples, oranges ect). Canadian Action Party fully supports trade that benefits Canadians Bad trade destroys our domestic industries by flooding our market with cheap goods coming from countries with the only economic advantage being that they work for pennies an hour. Look at our auto sector, there are job losses almost every week! All the auto jobs are going to Mexico because they are willing to work for less. Meanwhile, we are told that we will survive with a 'service industry' - that is crazy. To have a strong economy we need to produce commodities of value, not just trade services with each other. National defense is another huge consideration. With much of our food and manufacturing production moving to other countries, we lose our ability to fend for ourselves. What if a war happens? Do we import everything? That is suicidal.

Sigh, can't you see that when we have a free-trade deal with a country that has a per capita income the fraction of our own, that it will lower our per capita income over time? The only way we will be able to compete with Mexico, China, and India is if we lower our wages and our standard of living. This isn't about anti-internationalism - it is about preserving the ability for Canadians to choose our own destiny, and for making trade deals that benefit Canadians, not multi-national corporations owned by a small minority of people.

Topaz, the US, in Sept. 2007, already allows Mexican truckers to bring goods into the US. Sure, American truckers can also go into Mexico, of course most of the traffic is one-way. Mexican truckers work for far less money, which puts American truckers out of work. For more check out this Lou Dobbs report

The Canadian Action Party is the only party that supports terminating the SPP, and we are petitioning for Canadians to demand there be a referendum on the issue. The SPP was NEVER talked about in the elections, and it just sort've happened without any voter consent. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY. The NDP merely wants a vote in parliament on the issue, that is a pretty weak stance. The SPP will effect virtually every aspect of our lives, the People of Canada deserve to have an election/referendum on such a pivot issue. The Conservatives and Liberals are both on the same page here, they fully support giving away our independence without any voter approval. STOP THEM.

Many Canadians are still unaware of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, and the emerging North American Union that is merging Canada, US, and Mexico into one country. Every Canadian should at the very least find out about the SPP and NAU, and fight it if they want to keep Canadian soverignty and independence CANADIAN ACTION PARTY (canadianactionparty.ca) If you want to find fault with the SPP, dont' look at the official website!!! The main glaring fault is that NONE of this was discussed during elections, and people did not give the government authority to go ahead with it. The SPP is NAFTA on steroids, it is the political and economic integration of North America. Our forefathers faught in 1812, Vimy Ridge, and many other battles to keep our independence, and these politicians are JUST GIVING IT AWAY!!!! Another glaring fault is that the main drivers behind the SPP are mega-corporations. Indeed, a team of 48 corporations (16 from each country) are currently rewriting many of our regulations pertaining to just about everything, to suit their profit motives. What Canadians want is not being considered. Have you heard of the NAFTA superhighway? It is currently underway, and it is linked with the SPP, and no one is telling the Canadian people about it, except for the Canadian Action Party. The superhighway, will go from Mexico to Canada; basically, cheap goods from China will arrive in Mexico, Mexicans will get the jobs for loading, transporting, and assembling the goods since their wages are much lower. The goods will then flood the US and Canadian Markets. THE END RESULT WILL BE FURTHER LOSSES OF OUR HIGH PAYING JOBS, AND FURTHER LOWERING OF OUR STANDARD OF LIVING CANADIAN ACTION PARTY (canadianactionparty.ca)

Michael Hardner Like I said, the general trend we are seeing is more government centralization; what I mean is more government control over our lives, and less say for Canadians. Many observers of Canadian Politics agree that over the recent decades power has been centralized within the PMO to the extent that the Prime Minister and his inner circle essentially run the show. And what is wrong with the SPP? If you want to find fault with the SPP, dont' look at the official website!!! The main glaring fault is that NONE of this was discussed during elections, and people did not give the government authority to go ahead with it. The SPP is NAFTA on steroids, it is the poltical and economic integration of North America.

Step back from the usual political banter for a bit. Do you see a trend in the type of policies that get implemented not only in Canada, but throughout the world? Why is it that the general trend in so many countries is towards more centralized government that restricts citizen rights coupled with more free trade that benefits large corporations? The answer is that the left-right political spectrum is false. The true spectrum is between liberty and tyranny/fascism. You either have the liberty to decide how you want to live your own life, or you have mega-governments and mega-corporations dictating the terms of your life to you. So ask yourself: given the current state of politics, do you have more control of your life or less? Liberty needs soverignty, independence, and self-reliance. We are exporting our jobs, we are losing our local family farms, we are losing control over our natural resources, we have already virtually lost control of our money supply. We are losing our liberty. Have you heard of the Security and Prosperty Partnership, or the North American Union, or the Amero? The Liberals and Conservatives are BOTH selling out Canada's independence and soveriegnty WITHOUT voter approval or even voter consultation - and all of these secretive plans are dictated by large corporations for their own benefit. Most Canadians won't see any benefit from this, in fact our standard of living will go DOWN.
