NDP has "Three Amigos" meeting covered

Those New Democrats think of everything.

Every Canadian reporter here to cover the "three amigos" meeting here in New Orleans has arrived at the fancy boutique hotel to find an envelope from the NDP awaiting them in their rooms.

"Welcome to New Orleans!" states a letter from NDP MP Peter Julian, who also happens to be staying here at the International Hotel. Quite the coincidence -- I'm wondering how he knew where we were staying, since most of us just found out this morning where the PMO had booked us, when we checked in for the trip.

The letter goes on to explain how the NDP has been trying to stop the Security and Prosperity Partnership -- the agreement to encourage more co-operation between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, which critics say is a back-door strategy toward North American integration.

The NDP's package for reporters includes a little anti-SPP cartoon put together by the Canadian Labour Congress.

When the NDP is involved red flags should go up.They are a neccesary party for domestic politics to represent a segment of the population, but thats were it should end.
They are nothing but trouble makers, with no solutions.

Jan apparently health care and our nation being one country is of no importance to you. Maybe you feel we should just put Micro$oft in charge as president and Wallmart as vice president and see where this country goes. Scratch that as since Exxon has Harper in power I guess the corps are happier as it gives the illusion that citizens matter.
Funny how classic conservatives did everything they could to make Canada an independent, proud, and powerful country yet for the last 30 years they are no different than classic liberals, selling the county to the lowest bidder.
