Reply #4: Not a surprise. [View All]

The answer is as easy as what Big Busines does to the USA, it is attempting to do to Canada. I recall reading, a number of years ago, that the Heritage Institute is investing heavily in Canada. They have sponsored a speaker's bureau sening US right wingers to Canada, trying to change attitudes up there.
Remember, Alberta is full of oil barron interests, beckoning the US right( big business) to come take us over. I recall this article was in the Nation several years ago. Other attempts to influence Canada. They have established a right wing rag( newspaper) to compete with Canada's independent press. It is based in Toronto, forget its name.It is a regular Murdock style paper, targeting The Globe and Mail as Canada's National newspaper.
With Nafta screwing around with Canada's independence, is this any surprise..
When Canada changes its' strict control over how many dollars can be spent on a MP's running for Parlianment; then you will know Canada is completely gone. Last I knew an MP can not spend more than 40,000 dollars Canadian, in an election. Can you imagine that. In the US, it costs more than that to run for City Council seat , in a small sized town.
