Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

March 6, 2008

Without congressional approval or widespread media coverage, a significant military accord was signed by the US and Canada on February 14.

The agreement, called the Civil Assistance Plan, ?paves the way for the militaries of either nation to send troops across each other?s borders during an emergency,? observed the Ottawa Citizen.

Stuart Tew, a spokesman for a group called the Council of Canadians, is concerned that the agreement will militarize responses to emergencies best handled by civilian authorities. He also notes that the military personnel might well be foreign troops not accountable to Canadian authorities.

Americans should understand that those well-founded concerns apply in reverse, as well.

No treaty legitimizing this integration of US and Canadian militaries has passed the Senate or been signed by the president. But those behind this development aren?t interested in the Constitution; they?re quietly pursuing a design to consolidate the US with Canada and Mexico into a European-style North American Union.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
