Eugenics-inspired Stephen Harper government pursues the destruction of Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protections

Special to The Canadian

	With Queen Elizabeth II's approval, the Charter was brought into effect in Ottawa on April 17, 1982.

Canada’s acquiescence to U.S. post-9/11 demands to integrate Canadian police, intelligence and military with U.S. security policy has increased the risk to Canadians of arbitrary detention, forced disappearances, torture and mass surveillance. “We are witnessing a rapid disintegration of the web of laws and norms that has protected human rights in the past,” says Maureen Webb, human rights lawyer and author of Illusions of Security: Global Surveillance and Democracy in the Post 9-11 World (2007).

Maher Arar, is just one of many example of a regressive trend in the direction of human rights in Canada. Mr. Arar was a law-abiding Canadian citizen, he was detained in New York in late 2002, and subsequently ‘rendered’ to Syria where he was illegally imprisoned for over 10 months and tortured.

“Much of what is being put into place is being done under the radar screen of the public and outside ordinary democratic processes – through operational agreements, bilateral working groups, administrative agreements, regulations and international forums – so that our democratic institutions themselves are being undermined.”

“One of the more insidious developments has been the incremental construction of a new infrastructure for mass surveillance,” says Ms. Webb. “The Smart Border Agreement signed in 2001 between Canada and the U.S., is in many ways the blueprint for this infrastructure. It is not a legal treaty. It has never been debated in Parliament. And yet it calls for unprecedented integration of Canadian security policy with that of the United States."

Ms. Webb indicates that the fascist terms of this neo-fascist inspired Agreement include "common biometric standards for identity cards that can be used across different modes of travel, coordinated visa and refugee policy, coordinated risk assessment of travelers, integrated national security intelligence teams, coordinated watch lists, new counterterrorism legislation along the lines of the U.S. Patriot Act, and increased intelligence sharing.”

This Agreement shows the power of an apparent unelected parallel continental government under the terms of the Security and Prosperity Partnership North American Union (SPP-NAU) agenda, that seeks to replace Canada's elected government by 2010. The transcontinental elites who prevail over the SPP-NAU agenda are all linked with Eugenics-inspired organizations. Adolf Hitler was one of the most notorious champions of Eugenics, that sought to consolidate totalitarian control.

“People might think that the new surveillance systems represent a minor erosion of privacy rights. But these measures roll back fundamental rights to due process in administrative and criminal law, as well as freedom of movement, freedom of association and freedom of expression. These are cornerstones of any democracy. And once these systems are fully implemented, they will be difficult to unravel. Our democratic societies are in danger of being turned into surveillance societies over time.”
