Canada to be taken over in April 2009
Dana Gabriel writes at IntelStrike (“TILMA Expands on NAFTA”) that a Canadian free trade agreement is scheduled to be adopted in April. The Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA) was signed in 2006. It expands on NAFTA’s transfer of power from local governments to corporations. Quebec is leading an initiative to integrate TILMA with the European Union. Yukon, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan are dragging their feet. Various municipalities are opposing TILMA because the free trade agreement guts local democracy and transfers power to the globalists.
Here is the cutting edge of politics today: It’s not left versus right as both Canadian parties favor selling out their people. It’s globalism versus localism, with the locals too weak to resist being taken over. A logical move would be for local governments to form coalitions against their national leaders. Such coalitions are already forming in the United States, but their purpose is to lobby the Feds for bailout funds, not to resist being gutted by globalism. A little shift in worldview could make all the difference in preserving local governments from takeover by global governance. Local governments have more in common with the local governments in other democratic nations than they do with their national governments.
Interesting things. Thanks.
