8/9/2008  Corporate Canada declines: Some call it treasonous but however you regard the hollowing out of Canada's corporate sector be assured it continues. To takeover numbers worth some $835 billion and swelling since 1985 to around 11,000 Canadian corporations, we may soon add the venerable Alberta-based TransAlta Utilities.
Some call it treasonous but however you regard the hollowing out of Canada's corporate sector be assured it continues. To takeover numbers worth some $835 billion and swelling since 1985 to around 11,000 Canadian corporations, we may soon add the venerable Alberta-based TransAlta Utilities. What's remarkable is how LS Power Equity Partners (LS Power) and Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) didn't consider a takeover sooner. As a major generator of coal, gas and wind energy whose forerunner Calgary Power Company was founded by W. Max Aitken in 1903, TransAlta Utilities has 50 such assets located around the world with the majority located in Alberta where it also supplies most of the province's power. In addition, LS Power already has nine per cent of TransAlta's common stock and owns power generation assets all over the U.S. Adding to the mix, GIP specializes in infrastructure investments worldwide while its owners -- Credit Suisse and the world's sixth-largest company, General Electric -- are providing the financing, though for all their riches, they don't explain why the $7.8 billion they are offering is only a fraction of what it would cost to build such assets from scratch.

12/29/2007  Corporate leaders, not workers, benefit from free trade: The large Canadian-based corporations and their CEOs that led the campaign for North American free trade are the major beneficiaries of the agreements, while their employees and Canadian workers in general have been the victims, an economic think-tank charged Friday.

11/6/2007  Que. provincial police spent $7 million on Montebello summit: One of a number of police and security forces ensuring protection at the Montebello summit bringing together North American leaders this year, the Quebec provincial police spent over $7 million on the event alone CanWest News Service has learned.
One of a number of police and security forces ensuring protection at the Montebello summit bringing together North American leaders this year, the Quebec provincial police spent over $7 million on the event alone CanWest News Service has learned. On Aug. 20 Prime Minister Stephen Harper, U.S. President George W. Bush and Mexican President Felipe Calderon convened in the Quebec town some 80 kilometres east of Ottawa for a two-day summit as part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership. The initiative aims to deepen the integration of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Security was both tight and expensive, especially as a three-metre high fence was raised to surround Chateau Montebello where the meetings took place, to keep hundreds of protesters away. A number of local, provincial and federal police forces participated in the security effort on land, water and in the air, and for just one of them the bill climbed over $7 million according to an audit obtained by CanWest News Service through Quebec's access to information legislation. Figures for the others are not yet available. According to documents obtained from the audit bureau of the Surete du Quebec, $7,192,635 was spent by the provincial police force to help secure the event, most of it to make sure enough manpower was available. A total of $4,589,965 went to cover overtime during the summit and another $1,416,303 covered lodging, transportation and catering costs. (Canada.com)

6/14/2007  The border is an expensive barrier, new study concludes: The Canada-U.S. border is not our friend. That's the conclusion of a new Fraser Institute study written by author and Simon Fraser University political scientist Alexander Moens.
The Canada-U.S. border is not our friend. That's the conclusion of a new Fraser Institute study written by author and Simon Fraser University political scientist Alexander Moens. Canadian nationalists traditionally argue that the border is our last defence against cultural and economic absorption by the all-powerful, politically domineering U.S.A. But Moens presents a different, more pragmatic perspective, which has resonance in view of the panic associated with long waits for passports to enable Canadians to keep flying freely to their favourite destination.

6/9/2007  Canada quietly paving way for national ID card: After abandoning plans for a national biometric ID card three years ago, the federal government has been quietly developing other documents that could pave the way for just such a card in the future, say researchers who are studying the issue.
And, they say, the work is proceeding without any meaningful public awareness or input. The researchers, from the University of Toronto and London School of Economics, presented their findings at a workshop on national ID card systems this week at Queen's University. While Canada has not officially embarked on a national ID card scheme, "there are clear signs that important changes are afoot in terms of new national identity documentation and management measures," they say.

A shared no-fly list should be created for Canada and the U.S. to track passengers who pose a health risk to North America, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said yesterday. The need for a common list was highlighted by the case of an Atlanta man infected with drug-resistant tuberculosis, who avoided detection by U.S. authorities by flying home from Europe to Montreal, Mr. Chertoff said. "We only have the ability to put people on watch lists coming into our country," Mr. Chertoff told CNN. "It would have been good if we had a system that allowed us and the Canadians to have a common picture." (Canada.com)

5/19/2007  Environmentalists baffled by pesticide-reviews process: The safety of pesticides in Canada is partly in the hands of U.S. regulators as the two countries forge ahead with plans to harmonize their pesticide-review processes.
The safety of pesticides in Canada is partly in the hands of U.S. regulators as the two countries forge ahead with plans to harmonize their pesticide-review processes. News of the effort comes as a growing chorus of scientists south of the border raise the alarm about plummeting standards and rampant corporate interference in the U.S. regulatory process under the Bush administration. Joint pesticide reviews were flagged as a "key milestone" of the 2005 Security and Prosperity Partnership, a broad-ranging plan to promote trade by streamlining regulatory protocols across North America.

4/19/2007  Canada can't turn off the taps on the continent's fresh water: Maude Barlow of the Council for Canadians is absolutely right about one thing: Canadians need to have a national conversation on the future of fresh water.
Maude Barlow of the Council for Canadians is absolutely right about one thing: Canadians need to have a national conversation on the future of fresh water. We certainly don't share Barlow's ideological opposition to fraternizing with our American neighbours -- she's a notorious anti-trader -- but her prediction that the United States will soon start to look thirstily at our abundant water is probably true. If climate-change models are accurate, water scarcity will become a defining issue for those Americans who live in the growing cities and states of the southwest and midwest. If the U.S. wants to hammer out deals to divert water from the Great Lakes to the southwest, what should Canada's position be? (Canada.com)

2/19/2007  Continental integration talks spark fierce debate in U.S.: A sweeping accord for the economic integration of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico has unleashed a firestorm of debate south of the border.
Everyone from national congressmen and state legislators to bloggers and YouTubers are raising the alarm about the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), a plan to harmonize the countries' economic and security practices. Criticism ranges from measured calls for stronger congressional oversight to hysterical charges that the "treasonous" deal will flood the U.S. with illegal aliens and terrorists. "The deal will weaken the sovereignty of the U.S. It will create a North American Union" similar to the European model, warns Representative Virgil Goode, who, along with six other legislators, has tabled two resolutions opposing the deal in the U.S. House of Representatives.

An inept public relations strategy has led to raging hysteria from critics in Canada and the U.S. about a common-sense effort under way to strengthen the position of North American business and ensure continental security. The Security and Prosperity Partnership was first conjured up in March 2005 at meeting in Waco, Texas, of George W. Bush, Paul Martin and Vicente Fox. One year later in Cancun, Bush, Fox and newly elected Stephen Harper announced a North American Competitiveness Council to help implement the continental strategy. (Canada.com)
