Sop the SPP...

I forward Peter Julian's report on the "globalist" SPP meeting in New Orleans. Note on the video, Mr. Harper's body language and his hand over George Bush's head. The "eugenicist" Bill C51 goes for vote later this week. We are sure the people of Canada will hold their representatives accountable and all will see where their MPs true loyalty lies. We will especially watch the leader's position.

Thanks to Peter for this accurate update.
Peace,

I wanted to get back to you after the events in New Orleans around the SPP. It is clear to me after the Leaders’ press conference that concluded the summit that the SPP agenda is on the defensive. and it was interesting to note that Bush Harper and Calderon spent their entire press conference trying to defend NAFTA and the US-Colombia free trade agreement, rather than announcing any new initiative on the SPP. It shows me that the work of the NDP, the labour movement and civil society groups in opposition to the SPP is having an impact.



I was very happy to work in New Orleans with the Council of Canadians, members of Common Frontiers, and labour unions like CUPE, CEP, COPE and the Steelworkers.



Attached you will find an op-ed that I wrote coming back from New Orleans on the appalling neglect of poorer residents of New Orleans. A video link is attached to a terrific short documentary done by James Flack, who was in New Orleans. You will also find the op-ed that I co-authored with Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) and Senator Yeidckol Polevnsky (Vice President of the Mexican Senate), going into the New Orleans summit. The three of us are the co-chairs of the Taskforce on NAFTA Renegotiation, which was announced in March in Washington to push for NAFTA renegotiation.



I’d like to welcome many new members to this STOPSPP group. I encourage all of you to log onto our facebook site http://www.facebook.com/pages/Peter-Julian-MP/7586973623 so that you can get up to the minute updates of the NDP's STOPSPP tour. We’ve hit 24 cities in eight provinces so far, and many of the crowds have been standing room only: 200, 300, 400 people. Please encourage other Canadians who wish to stop the SPP to sign on as a supporter on our face book site. We have posted here many videos of our STOPSPP tour done by activists. Get those who oppose the SPP to join as supporters and be part of a broader STOPSPP movement.



Finally, our website at www.peterjulian.ca has copies of the STOPSPP petition. The NDP has presented in the House of Commons the names of thousands of Canadians opposed to the SPP since we have been circulating the petition since last summer.



Together, we can stop the SPP!
