"No doubt, the issue will be presented in Parliament as being 'in the national interest'. It 'will create jobs for Canadians' and 'will make Canada more secure'."

Does that, by any remote chance, sound familiar to the Brits here? How many times have we heard some ghastly piece of seditious and probably treasonous Euro-legislation 'justified' as "creating more jobs for British people"? Even more stupid in Britain's case, where the unemployment figures are rapidly approaching zero, but there you go. And the Euro-Army - "it will make Britain more secure", they say, without actually explaining how.

I was reasonably pro-American until I read that article, but now I'm coming to equate it with the EU - a sinister superstate plotting to consume significant parts of the British World. Mind you, if the new Secretary of State gets her way, we'll join NAFTA and get to federate with Canada via Washington, which is at least something...
