it's not just your view Ben.

This exercise on the natural gas issue is one that preps you for how you will be dealing with BC HYdro electricity costs.

Instead of keeping rates tolerable and spending on the infrastuture, the idealization, had to be changed? To letting other businesses run the crown corporation.

So instead of having to say it was sold, they know full well that it has been broken up and run by other businesses.

Yet we still own it?

Any energy production that is sold back to the grid should go to benefit the citizens of British Columbia, and not force the citizens to compete for this on the american market.

That's where they will put this extra energy up for sale. Competitively, we will have to pay the same rate someday.

So now look at how you are being charged for your natural gas. Fools, and any who supported the Terasen gas deal, were profiteers as much as the Two tier system of healthcare is motivated.

Capitalists who will "steal the canadian soul" in order to profit.

LOU DOBBS, CNN ANCHOR: Good evening, everybody. Tonight, an astonishing proposal to expand our borders to incorporate Mexico and Canada and simultaneously further diminish U.S. sovereignty. Have our political elites gone mad? We'll have a special report. blood.

DOBBS: Border security is arguably the critical issue in this country's fight against radical Islamist terrorism. But our borders remain porous. So porous that three million illegal aliens entered this country last year, nearly all of them from Mexico.

Now, incredibly, a panel sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations wants the United States to focus not on the defense of our own borders, but rather create what effectively would be a common border that includes Mexico and
Canada.

Christine Romans has the report.

CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): On Capitol Hill, testimonycalling for Americans to start thinking like citizens of North America and treat the U.S., Mexico and Canada like one big country.

ROBERT PASTOR, IND. TASK FORCE ON NORTH AMERICA: The best way to secure the United States today is not at our two borders with Mexico and Canada, but at the borders of North America as a whole.

ROMANS: That's the view in a report called "Building a North American Community." It envisions a common border around the U.S., Mexico and Canada in just five years, a border pass for residents of the three countries, and a freer flow of goods and people.

Task force member Robert Pastor.

PASTOR: What we hope to accomplish by 2010 is a common external tariff which will mean that goods can move easily across the border. We want a common security perimeter around all of North America, so as to ease the travel of
people within North America.

ROMANS: Buried in 49 pages of recommendations from the task force, the brief mention, "We must maintain respect for each other's sovereignty." But security experts say folding Mexico and Canada into the U.S. is a grave breach of that sovereignty.

FRANK GAFFNEY, CENTER FOR SECURITY POLICY: That's what would happen if anybody serious were to embrace this strategy for homogenizing the United States and its sovereignty with the very different systems existing today in Canada and Mexico.

ROMANS: Especially considering Mexico's problems with drug trafficking,human smuggling and poverty. Critics say the country is just too far behind the U.S. and Canada to be included in a so-called common community. But the task force wants military and law enforcement cooperation between all three countries.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Indeed, an exchange of personnel that bring Canadians and Mexicans into the Department of Homeland Security.

ROMANS: And it wants temporary migrant worker programs expanded with full mobility of labor between the three countries in the next five years.

ROMANS: The idea here is to make North America more like the European Union. Yet, just this week, voters in two major countries in the European Union voted against upgrading -- updating the European constitution. So clearly, this is not the best week to be trying to sell that idea.

DOBBS: Americans must think that our political and academic elites have gone utterly mad at a time when three-and-a-half years, approaching four years after September 11, we still don't have border security. And this group of elites is talking about not defending our borders, finally, but rather creating new ones. It's astonishing.

ROMANS: The theory here is that we are stronger together, three countries in one, rather than alone.

DOBBS: Well, it's a -- it's a mind-boggling concept. Christine Romans, thank you, as always.

Wakey wakey. IMO we voted the three liberal MLA's into power here in ol PG. How can we be surprised that Gordy Campbell and buds will sell us out. But don't worry if you havn't heard lately the economy is BOOMING in prince george so not to worry everyone can afford any ol increse. Oh by the way if you believe that last part you are still asleep.

Peace out brothers.
