Territorial control over Canada is part of Washington's geopolitical and military agenda as formulated in April 2002 by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "Binational integration" of military command structures is also contemplated alongside a major revamping in the areas of immigration, law enforcement and intelligence.

At this critical juncture in our history and in anticipation of the visit of George W. Bush to Canada on November 30th, an understanding of these issues is central to the articulation of a coherent anti-war and civil rights movement.

The purpose of this detailed report is to encourage discussion and debate in Canada and Quebec, as well as in the US. Kindly circulate this article widely. The Summary can be forwarded by email with a hyperlink to the complete text.

1. The Annexation of Canada and Mexico

Dismantling the US Border Bringing Canada and Mexico into Fortress America

Dismantling the US Border Bringing Canada and Mexico into Fortress America

DOBBS: Border security is arguably the critical issue in this country's fight against radical Islamist terrorism. But our borders remain porous. So porous that three million illegal aliens entered this country last year, nearly all of them from Mexico.

Now, incredibly, a panel sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations wants the United States to focus not on the defense of our own borders, but rather create what effectively would be a common border that includes Mexico and Canada.

Christine Romans has the report.

ROBERT PASTOR, IND. TASK FORCE ON NORTH AMERICA: The best way to secure the United States today is not at our two borders with Mexico and Canada, but at the borders of North America as a whole.

11. I was wondering about Mexico.

There's all those unused resources and cheap labor to tap into for the plutocracy.

2. All it would take is one "terraist" attack on Vancouver or Toronto...

...and Monkey Boy would be able to convince the Canadian Conservatives that he was their only salvation.

3. That would be stupid

First of all, it would take military force, in both cases. There would be an ongoing guerilla war on turrain very unfamiliar, and unpleasant to most US soldiers (Canadians know this country and it is even more unforgiving of the unprepared than the Iraqi desert) and even if he were successful - Canada and Mexico would both elect progressives whose policies would make Conyers seem like a moderate.

4. I've always heard if Quebec succeeded from Canada

the Atlantic states of Canada might very well join us. If he wanted to I'm sure he could try to grease the wheels on that. The question is, would they still want to join us with that dipstick as president? And would they risk the presumed democratic electoral votes coming in from former Canadian provinces?

[Bill McBlueState]

6. that's an interesting scenario

I suspect if the Atlantic Provinces were ever admitted, they would come in as a single state. Combined, their population is similar to Utah's (about 2.3 million). That's worth about five electoral votes.

Of course, admitted separately, you'd have twelve electoral votes, with the outside chance of only Nova Scotia having more than three.

Good news for Dems if that ever happens!

5. That's been the plan since 1775

It just hasn't worked. Nor will it.

[Zomby Woof]

7. Um, no

It isn't.

9. US troops can enter Canada as a result of a treaty signed after 9-11...

Snip from Chossudovsky's article.And ultimately what is at stake is that beneath the rhetoric, Canada will cease to function as a Nation:

-Its borders will be controlled by US officials and confidential information on Canadians will be shared with Homeland Security.

-US troops and Special Forces will be able to enter Canada as a result of a binational arrangement.

-Canadian citizens can be arrested by US officials, acting on behalf of their Canadian counterparts and vice versa.

But there is something perhaps even more fundamental in defining and understanding where Canada and Canadians stand as a Nation.

The World is at the crossroads of the most serious crisis in modern history. The US has launched a military adventure which threatens the future of humanity. It has formulated the contours of an imperial project of World domination. Canada is contiguous to "the center of the empire". Territorial control over Canada is part of the US geopolitical and military agenda.

The Liberals as well as the opposition Conservative party have endorsed embraced the US war agenda. By endorsing a Canada-US "integration" in the spheres of defense, homeland security, police and intelligence, Canada not only becomes a full fledged member of George W. Bush's "Coalition of the Willing", it will directly participate, through integrated military command structures, in the US war agenda in Central Asia and the Middle East, including the massacre of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, the torture of POWs, the establishment of concentration camps, etc.

10. I wonder what the status is now.

Are we still working to dominate Canada?

12. Excellent cross thread...

Johnny Canuck and Minstrel Boy have also been warning about this ever since the 9-11 Big Lie made it possible for Fascism to flourish in North America.
