The outburst of Canadian Industry Minister Jim Prentice is an indication of the hurricane they expect with cheaper cars like Tata Nano. Dealers and contract manufacturers from these countries have already expressed interest in marketing these cars. Once in the country, the cars may overtake US made cars easily. China and India have access to low cost labour and car components, which can significantly alter the cost of a car. This is precisely the reason why European and American car manufacturers like General Motors, BMW and Mercedes are setting up base in India. However, when these company show profits, while clearly stating they are going for cost cutting, now hue and cry is raised. It is clearly a sign that the auto sector is moving east and the concerns of Indians and Chinese pe

Remember the Kia Kee Concept that made its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September? While on its way to California to make its North American debut at the LA Auto Show next week, the car dubbed the “new face of Kia” wriggled out of its cargo restraints and slammed nose first into the front wall of its transporter. Kia spokesman Alex Fedorak said the car has already been sent back to Italy, properly secured this time, and will not make it back for the LA Auto Show. The impromptu bit of rhinoplasty may have improved the Kee Concept’s face, which you might recall we weren’t particularly impressed with. It does, however, recall the visage of a Cylon Raider from the Battlestar Galactica series. That makes two BS references for us today, and we promise it’ll be our last.

Usually it's Fox News that goes for the sensational but this time it's former Mexican President Vicente Fox who is trying to grab the headlines.Speaking on the Larry King show, Fox confirmed every assertion made by Jerome Corsi in his new book, "The Late Great U.S.A: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada" Not only did Fox admit that he and George W. Bush have "agreed" to create a common currency, the Amero, he contended that a North American Union is "inevitable." That’s something that Jerry Corsi takes issue with while applauding Fox’s openness on national television. "At last we have public confirmation of the pernicious secret activity that’s been going on towards merging Mexico, Canada and the United States" declares Corsi, whose book became a bestseller shortly after publication.

From The Plan to Disappear Canada by Murray Dobbin, “If the machinations going on in this country regarding so-called “deep integration” were instead a communist conspiracy to take over the country (you will, of course, have to try hard to imagine this) the news media would be blaring the story.
Pundits would pontificate, editorialists would erupt, security forces would be unleashed.
Instead, a virtual conspiracy to make the country disappear through assimilation into the U.S. gets barely a mention.
But news of the scheme — formally called the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) — is finally breaking out of the secret chambers of the ruling elite and the federal government. This is both good news and bad. It’s good that ordinary citizens are finally getting a glimpse of the betrayal of their country. The news is bad because it reflects just how much of this scheme is already being implemented. “

It will be the end of America. It will be the end of Democracy. The corporations will finally own the entire world. They’ve already done this in Europe and Asia. We’re next.

They encouraged us to always question the government and to over throw the government when it grew too large. We failed misserably.
