1. Consider the Lac Mégantic Quebec disaster earlier this year. We were all shocked and extremely sad, right through the country. What happened? Well, an American corporation trying to squeeze out another buck for its shareholders by parking un-maned trains on Canada's main. That cost-cutting measure cost the devastation of a small downtown. It killed people. All of us were affected but the innocently sleeping town bear the burden of their great losses. The environmental after-effect was likely contained to only a small area but that's to say. Then there was the MM&A Press Conference by Chairman Ed Burkhardt, a circus media performance that sent chills down my spine. The company's sadness was non-existent but their promises many. Do you remember that? Well MM&A today hasn't helped diddly-squat.

Canadians and mostly the Quebecois were incredibly quick to respond with emergency and financial aid but the American corporate pigs - NOTHING! Check this out ...
Under the NAFTA Accord, which the Conservatives bestowed us with, it is illegal for Canada to change its railroad regulations. But Transport Canada did anyway. As a matter of fact, we changed two train regulations in order to better protect OUR citizens. Unfortunately that gives MM&A the ability to sue Quebec and Canada, (under NAFTA) FOR FUTURE LOSS OF PROFITS. Imagine that. Any American corporation can walk in here, do whatever and profit from it. NAFTA is corporate bullshit.
2. Oil companies want all of the world's oil reserves. Other corporations want all our minerals, others our water, others our souls I suppose. I see the US government as being a big war machine with huge corporate interests (the all too familiar 1%). The last eighty years of history have proven how the can effectively destroy, rebuild and pillage. This is most of there economy, war and protecting shareholders using war. Nice neighbours. Then they come up with the War on Terrorism which essentially perpetuates to no end this great war machine of theirs.
The best example of how they operate happened in Congo. The CIA had no real reason to disassemble Congo yet Congo contains huge mineral wealth. Poor Congo, a huge Yankee success in destroy, pilfered and abandoned. They didn't even bother to rebuild it. Abandoned and raped. The oil companies are poising to pilfer Tibet's oil reserves next. It's the only Asian country will any significant amount of oil. The pools are under the mountains and they'll have to pipe it through China unfortunately somehow. I suppose the corporate resistance will come from China but that's incidental to the shareholders. They will have stage view of it on CNN.
NAFTA is a bad thing for Canada for many many other reasons too. The Americans are such friendly allies or good neighbours. They really don't give a shit about us, as a unit. Canada needs to make a stand, disconnect from these scoundrels. If it was up to me I'd kick them out of NATA. I'd also install a trade embargo with them but that would be complicated. I do have a solution ...
Canada 2.0 The Reconstitution of a Great Nation
My plan is to reconstitute Canada. Under United Nations backing, Canada will momentarily disolve breaking all of its previous treaties will all other countries. Instantly, the re-constituted Canada comes into effect. Now listen to this ...NAFTA never would have stood a chance in Pierre Trudeau's watch, because he loved Canada, regular Canadian people rather than the corporate pigs. that's unlike the Conservatives. They have become but an extension of the 1%, all corporate pig wannabees.
Vote for Justin Trudeau. We need the brightest, youngest minds to lead us now. Our future as a country is in our hands, collectively. Let's do this thing right.
