The Iraqification of Northern Kanuckistan

[FluffyMcDeath]

It looks like the US wants the government of Canada to use US thugs to pacify the Canadian people (presumably in the interests of the American corporations and resource hogs that own us) and for the service, as in Iraq, we are to extend to said thugs immunity from Canadian law. Further I would assume that, as in Iraq, these thugs would also be immune to American law since any crimes didn't happen within US jurisdiction.

Because they would be here at the request of the Canadian government (just as the Soviets were in Afghanistan at the request of the Afghan government) they technically wouldn't be invaders but if they aren't beholden to our law then they are pretty much outlaws.

Was there a link or something that should be part of that post?

oh ..yes. I can't find the original I had, but there are several outlets covering this. Here's the cbc. US cops want immunity from Canadian law. Perhaps there's a vaccine.

This is part of a program that I mentioned years ago that was being negotiated in secret and as an executive agreement outside of parliamentary process. It leaked but only lefties made a fuss about it so it didn't make much noise in the media.

Here's a more opinionated piece in the Star. Is Harper worried that if we don't give in then the US will block our trade at the border? Maybe, but we have lot of stuff the US needs so it's not like we have no leverage. I think it's more ideological than that. I think that Harper simply believes that Canada should be a part of the USA, so that we can be a part of the Nation that god has chosen to use to let the Jews rebuild Israel so that Jesus can come back.
