Former Liberal Prime Minister in Film suggests Canada must cancel Free Trade Agreement

	Former Prime Minister John Turner.

In the eye-opening Canadian film Hoodwinked: The Myth of Free Trade, former Liberal prime minister John Turner reflects on the 1988 battle over the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). After a famous heated exchange with Brian Mulroney, Turner lost the battle for Canadian hearts and minds on the divisive trade issue - and their votes in the process.

Mr. Turner reflects on how, unlike most politicians, he had read the actual NAFTA Agreement. After discovering an absence of binding agreements on such things as monopolies, antidumping, and labour standards, he decided the document had more to do with investment than so-called "Free Trade."

Indeed, NAFTA was a document which used the mantra of "trade", to disguise a plot for the greed-driven take-over of Canada in stages, by greed-driven elites in the United States.

Cut to 20 years later. Common Ground reporter Jeff Olson says that "Iconic Canadian institutions like Hudson's Bay and the Laurentian Hotel chain have disappeared into the deep pockets of foreign investors. Provincially, it's more of the same. Texas-based Kinder Morgan owns BC's gas delivery system."

"One third of the operations and services of BC Hydro, our most profitable public company, has been outsourced to Bermuda-based Accenture. The BC Medical Services Plan and Pharmacare are in the hands of American firms. The CEO of the privatized BC Ferries hails from the U.S., where he presided as vice-president of Covanta Energy, which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2001," Jeff Olson further stipulates.

And now, a political-military-industrial complex is planning a full-fledged take-over of Canada, under the guise of the "War of Terror", under the North American Union (NAU) agenda outed by CNN's Lou Dobbs.

Former Prime Minister John Turner resigned from the Liberal leadership sometime after the defeat of the Liberals in the 1988 election, against the pro-NAFTA then Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and resumed his practice of law, in a Toronto law firm.

Brian Mulroney is now a senior advisor to the far right Stephen Harper minority government, which has provided written endorsement to the NAU scheme to take-over Canada. Unfortunately, Canadians have not been consulted on this endorsement.

John Turner's warnings in 1988 about the prospects of the eventual political take-over of Canada, by U.S. interests, is currently scheduled to take place by a current NAU schedule of 2010. The elite-driven march toward continentalist assimilation will continue -- that promises to fully destroy Canada, along with its vital social programs, environmental natural heritage, and other quality-of-living features that Canadians have taken for granted -- unless Canadians can galvanize themselves, and save their country from total destruction. It is apparent that Canadians cannot rely on leadership from Canada's major political parties that have apparently chosen to collude with the Harper minority government on this vital Canadian sovereignty issue, along with Canada's mass-media organizations, which have irresponsibly repressed the reporting on the NAU agenda.

John Turner and other commentators featured in Hoodwinked suggest Canada must cancel NAFTA in order to preserve its vital independence.
