Do you have what it takes to become a candidate for the socially progressive Canadian Action Party?

by Wendy Forrest

	Connie Fogal.

Are you a progressive-minded Canadian seeking an alternative to the political choices of the Stéphane Dion Liberals and Jack Layton's NDP? Today's Liberals and NDP have sold Canada out, to the Stephen Harper Conservative party sponsored U.S. political-military-industrial complex, via confirmation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). Are you interested to help champion for the defence and affirmation of Canada as a socially progressive society, that embraces environmental stewardship? If so, you may wish to get involved or even becoming a candidate for the Canadian Action Party (CAP).

CAP is currently inviting articulate female and male candidates of diverse socio-cultural backgrounds, across Canada, to submit a Federal Riding nomination application

The SPP along with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are pivotal Agreement that must be cancelled in order to protect Canada's public healthcare system, and a variety of other treasured national institutional from being bought out by greed driven U.S. corporate interests.

The SPP is an agreement signed first by Paul Martin, George Bush and Vincente Fox in March 2005, and then endorsed by Stephen Harper upon his election in 2006. CAP has known the true intentions and outcomes of the SPP and has been very vocal against it since it was announced, including during the last election (it was the only party speaking out).

CAP had called for a non-confidence vote in Parliament upon its return and has now been calling for a Referendum of the People. It has a Petition, which is circulating on the internet, posted on its website since the beginning of November. To date there are approximately 5,400 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 when the 3 leaders, Harper, Bush and Calderón met with corporate representatives of the North American Competitiveness Council who are driving the SPP process at the highly secured Château Montebello in Québec. More than 2,000 protestors of all stripes made their way to Montebello on August 20 to demand a stop to the SPP. CAP witnessed police state tactics used upon peaceful protestors and police posing as agents provocateurs. Truly it was a forceful suppression of legitimate dissent and a shameful display in a country that is supposed to be a democracy.

Connie Fogal says "That the North American continent is being transformed from three sovereign nations - Canada, USA, Mexico into one regional corporate power base, through agreements like FTA, NAFTA, TILMA and now the SPP into a North American Union. 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 (NAU) building up to 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 government, 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.

CAP supports a National Referendum on the SPP. CAP is against the future of Canada being decided among political party elites in Canada's Parliament, who have been part of the conspiracy of silence about the SPP-NAU agenda.

The mainstream media is complicit in this advancement and the resulting loss of sovereignty. Therefore Canadians must seek information through the alternative media in order to be informed.

If you feel as these concerned citizens do, that sovereign democratic nations matter, please get involved and get active. CAP indicates that is our future and we can no longer rely on our current elected representatives to defend our national interests as Canadians.
