| sep 02 2008 | | Civil Assistance Plan. | Here's another little gem that flew under the wire. We have apparently committed to a Civil Assistance Plan that allows American troops to cross into Canada and 'assist' us whenever Dubya or his poodle Nitelight decide it's required.
Now I know most people would have been distracted by the challenge of finding a new theme tune for Hockey Night in Canada but isn't this the sort of 'issue' that needs some sort of debate? We know that Dubya has, in May 2007, on his own authority signed a Directive authorizing him to declare a national emergency and take over all functions of federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments, without necessarily obtaining the approval of Congress to do so. This would now include cross-border incursions. The Yankees are coming.
“The agreement, defined as a Civil Assistance Plan, was not submitted to Congress for approval, nor did Congress pass any law or treaty specifically authorizing this military agreement to combine the operations of the armed forces of the United States and Canada in the event of a wide range of domestic civil disturbances ranging from violent storms, to health epidemics, to civil riots or terrorist attacks.
In Canada, the agreement paving the way for the militaries of the U.S. and Canada to cross each other's borders to fight domestic emergencies was not announced either by the Harper government or the Canadian military, prompting sharp protest.
The military Civil Assistance Plan can be seen as a further incremental step being taken toward creating a North American armed forces available to be deployed in domestic North American emergency situations.”
