![]() SPP Janet Eaton's Slide Show on SPPEverything You Wanted to Know About Globalization,NAFTA, and the "Security & Prosperity Partnership"George Bush, with the Mexican president and the Canadian prime minister, are quietly building a Fortress North America and continental "free-trade" area under mega-corporate direction. Not even many congress members know about this, because it was put together in 2005 by the three nations' chief executives without any legislative input or oversight. It's details and personnel are secret. But you can inform Congress and your fellow citizens by following these PowerPoint slides by one of Canada's foremost academic-scholar-activists, Janet M. Eaton, PhD.*
This slide show is a revised version of Janet Eaton's presentations at the Boston Public Library and the Massachusetts State House on March 23 and 26, 2008. The latter was set up as an information session for legislators and the public by Representative Byron Rushing with the help of the Boston-Cambridge and North Bridge chapters of the Alliance for Democracy. Rep. Rushing is principal sponsor of the Massachusetts Globalization Impact Bill, H.374, which the Boston-Cambridge Alliance helped write. It has been favorably reported out of the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies, calling for a watchdog commission on international trade agreements such as WTO, NAFTA, and SPP.
