Globalization in Canada

[JohnyCanuck]

It's difficult to understand the push towards the globalization of Canada's economy without buying into a concept that has been widely dismissed by many as the conspiracy theory of a one world government or the New World Order. Make no mistake here, globalization is real and has been talked about extensively by our prime ministers both conservative and Liberal,

Both former p.m. Paul Martin and current p.m. Stephen Harper have recently been speaking on the subject. It appears that both major parties in Canada are on the same page when it comes to the subject of globalization, even to the point where both talk about Canada giving up its sovereignty. This is a key point in understanding what these men are talking about, if you don't fully understand the word sovereignty please grab a dictionary and thesaurus and look it up right now.

So just what is Globalization?

Well these two men would tell you it is nothing more than a complex series of economic, social, technological, cultural, and political changes seen as increasing, integration, and interaction between people and companies in worldwide locations. A trend toward increased flow of goods, services, money, and ideas across national borders and the subsequent integration of the global economy. Trade agreements, nothing more. So Canada can sell more to the world! Sounds good? Martin even has a cute little jelly bean story that he uses to explain it all. Well there is more to it, a lot more and they don't talk much about that.

What your prime minister has not said is "Well Canada you can kiss democracy goodbye." The reason he won't say this is because you have already lost it. The same supranational corporate trade and banking institutions that the IFG is talking about have already taken over the government of Canada (and most other countries) and the way they have done it is by stacking the major political parties in Canada with their own handpicked people. It is fact, not some conspiracy theory that most of our prime ministers, cabinet ministers and many provincial premiers have worked for Paul Desmarais and power Corp. When everybody we elect to Parliament comes from Big corporate and banking interests and go back to them when we vote them out, why would they not work towards handing over the entire country and everyone in it over to the same corporate and Banking control!

1. I doubt very much that Canadians

want to turn into N Korea.

2. True enough,

and I doubt this young woman at the G20 protest wanted to be shot with rubber bullets for exercising her rights to free speech and peaceful protest, but what she wanted and what she got were two different things.
