The Oil Drum: Canada

Stoneleigh,

I know Canadians are touchy on the NAFTA subject, and they wish to keep the independent nation idea alive. However, in the case of the SPP pushing Mexicans to go live in Fort McMurray, you need to do more than just post a headline, in my very humble loud-mouth view.

How crazy is that anyway? Pemex is collapsing, and instead of working at home to save their own oil industry, they now have to freeze in Mordor? Know why? So the wages will come down, that's why. Them Atlantic Canadians are getting too expensive.

Makes you wonder what the price for a white corn tortilla is in Alberta these days, doesn't it?

Anybody ever wonder why NAFTA included Mexico? Wouldn't US&Canada make more sense? Why take in the poor? Easy, cheap labor is the game. And Canadian will get jobs only at the same salary that Mexicans get.

Thing is, if no-one exposes the SPP Super Nafta NAU in this stage of the game, and this is an advanced stage, all politicians and CEO's that matter in society are there, which speeds up things a lot, then it will very soon be too late. They're aiming for 2010. In utter secrecy.

Nobody does it though, in the media. The Globe and Mail can't even spell SPP, nor refer to its origins. Someone has to.

Will Canada soon exist in name only? No!!! say Canadians. But their main money making industry will be occupied by low-wage Mexicans.

SPP-NAFTA: Canada is for cheap resources, Mexico for cheap labor.
