It is important that Canadians understand what is happening in the USA because a de facto North American government of unelected industrialists, financiers, academics, military leaders along with representatives from our elected governments and government officials including our Prime Minister (both Liberal and Conservative) are busy implementing the same incredible changes into the nation we have known as Canada.
Canadians are affected by the USA’s Military Commissions Act. Unlike Britain, we are not exempt from being scooped away as an “enemy combatant” if George W. Bush wants us. The US Homeland Security Logo is already posted in several Canadian airports- even in the local small airport of Penticton BC in a town of only 30,000 people but which now hosts a full sized runway that can land very big planes. Why?
So, please read the excellent commentary of Keith Olbermann, Anchor, ‘Countdown’ MSNBC , on the USA Military Commissions Act. Although it describes the horror of what this act does in the USA, the article also is a message of hope and a future because it describes the history of previous bad USA law that was repealed, and bad Presidents who were defeated. Remember Ghandi’s words:
“There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it….always”
Just as citizens of the USA must and can take back their nation, Canadians must take back Canada. As Canadians we can wring our hands in despair, bow our heads, cow with our tail between our legs, lick boots and whine, turn in our neighbour or friend or family, or we can stand up for what is right and principled.
We can join the cowards and traitors, or we can say NO.
In Canada there is still a legitimate mechanism to defend against this complicit conquest.
To be secure, we must be free. Without freedom there is no security.
