Don't let the Harper government and elite friends, make us surrender the affirmation of our national identity, as Canadians

Edited by Peter Tremblay

The objective of the Stephen Harper minority government, is to continue to the “salami slicing” tactics started by Brian Mulroney, to of a public policy agenda, that will result in the step-by-step break down of our national soul as Canadians. The elite friends of the Harper government include apparent collaborators, like Stéphane Dion in other parts of the Political Establishment, and corporate elites who together, support Mr Harper's pursuit of the North American Union (NAU) agenda of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP).

The genesis of Canada as am identifiable place, was in the 1530's. Canada as a nation, would be further inspired by aboriginal peoples and settler immigrant groups who came together as 'Canadiens' along the St. Lawrence River.

Subsequent immigration from loyalists fleeing the American Revolution would support the genesis of a Canadian nationhood in the late eighteenth century, that sought to embrace a national ideal of "Peace, Order and Good Government", that distinguished ourselves from the culture of violence in the United States. A culture of violence associated with the American constitutional "right to bear arms", remains a prominent part of the American cultural milieu.

In contrast, Canadians also sought to develop an alternative national community in which Peace, Order and Good Government manifested in the creation of a mutualistic socially progressive society.

Canadians, sought the wisdom of government intervention in redressing conditions of economic disparity in our cities through innovative social policy, and also sought to create a universal public healthcare system, that would reflect the expression of a higher communitarian civic consciousness.

As a society which sought to spread corresponding messages of peace throughout the world, Canadians also sought peacekeeping responsibilities over militarism. Canadians sought to affirm greater independence from the United Kingdom, and then the United States, in a matter which would allow us as a nation to make a vital independent contribution in a community of independent and free nations.

The Harper government and friends through its NAU, SPP agenda, seek to deny us our very national self-determination. The Harper government, has in fact been pursuing an active U.S. assimilation agenda, through the NAU and SPP agenda that will totally destroy our national institutions, like the Canadian Wheat Board, and absorption into a American Big Business-friendly "cultural template".

The result will be that the "errors" of American society that have led to the destruction of America's cities, and to a general predatory "survival of the fittest society" will be imported into Canada. Indeed, homelessness and other worsening social despair in Canada, is the result of the dismantling of innovative Canadian social policy, which once included rent control and other programs.

The Harper government also seeks to use the pretext of a jingoistic "War of Terrorism", to destroy Canada's peace-inspired society, in favour of the importation into Canada of the greed-driven U.S. political-industrial-complex, which is actively destroying America, as a democracy.
