CAP SUPPORTS NATIONWIDE CALL TO ACTION ON THE SPP FEBRUARY 16, 2008

The Canadian Action Party (CAP) wholeheartedly supports a grassroots Nationwide Call to Action on February 16, 2008. In towns and cities all over this great nation, concerned citizens will be coming together to send a clear message to our elected representatives in Ottawa - we the people demand open disclosure and a Referendum on the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP).

As of February 10, protests are being organized in Toronto, Windsor, Cornwall, Ottawa, Fredericton, Moncton, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Vernon, Victoria, Chilliwack, Kelowna and Vancouver. CAP candidates and some sitting MPs will be speaking in a number of these locations.

The SPP is an agreement between Paul Martin, George Bush and Vincente Fox in March 2005, later endorsed by Stephen Harper upon his election in 2006. CAP has been the only party speaking out loudly and clearly against it since it was announced.

CAP called for a non-confidence vote on the issue in Parliament upon its return but this was ignored. CAP now has an online Petition for a Referendum of the People circulating as well as posted on its website. To date there are approximately 8,500 signatures of Canadians who agree that this is far too important for the future of Canada to be left to an unrepresentative Parliament and must be put to a referendum.

CAP candidates, members and leader Connie Fogal were present in Ottawa and Montebello this past summer and witnessed police state tactics and police posing as agents provocateurs used against peaceful protesters at the 3rd leaders' summit. Truly it was a forceful suppression of legitimate dissent and a shameful display in a country that is supposed to be a democracy.

The fourth SPP leader summit has just been announced and will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana in April.

Connie Fogal says "That the North American continent is being transformed from three sovereign nations - Canada, USA, Mexico into one regional corporate power base and a North American Union police state through agreements like FTA, NAFTA, TILMA, and SPP. The Smart Border Action Plan, the Smart Regulation Action Plan and the Bi-National Planning Agreement. However, unlike the creation of the European Union, there is no public, political or academic discourse on the merits, or pros and cons of a North American Union or a vote within each nation as to the wish of the people to join such a union. It is being imposed on us by stealth by our own elected representatives and governments, and is already well on its way to fruition. The NDP is calling for a debate and vote in Parliament which will result in approval.

The Manitoba NDP Provincial Government openly supports the NASCO or NAFTA Super Highway as was announced in the Throne Speech on November 20, 2007.

By its silence the mainstream media is complicit in this agenda for integration and the resulting loss of sovereignty. Therefore Canadians must seek information through the alternative media in order to be informed about this dangerous time in Canada's history.

If you feel as these concerned citizens do, that sovereign democratic nations matter, please get involved and get active. Help out in the locations noted by contacting the organizers. Where possible we have provided information about the protests on our events calendar at: www.canadianactionparty.ca.

This is our future and we can no longer rely on our elected representatives to do what is best for the Canadian public as they have long ago sold out to corporate interests.
