Integrate This! SPP Watch Update - March 7, 2008

INTEGRATE THIS!


SPP Watch

SPP WATCH makes the links between daily news items, new government initiatives and the ongoing Security and Prosperity Partnership talks between Canada, Mexico and the United States. As well as regular SPP updates, we will continue to post new reports, interviews and multimedia presentations critical of what is sometimes called the "deep integration" of North America. The site is updated regularly so visit often.
