Conservatives, Liberals, NDP, and Bloc Québécois in House of Commons, allow FBI to treat Canada as a colonial extension of the United States

Edited by David Stein in association with Alex James

Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day apparently has acknowledged that U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents conduct investigations in Canada but said all are done according to "North American Union" (NAU) law, in relation to the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP).

Mr. Day was responding to a report regarding an internal FBI audit that shows U.S. agents are carrying out investigations without the approval of the Canadian government.

It says the FBI has given agents in its Buffalo field office clearance to conduct "routine investigations" up to 50 miles into Canadian territory.

When asked about the report during question period, Day said Canadian security forces work with Canada's allies, including the U.S, and have "Agreements" in terms of "information sharing".

"We have teams that are designated going back and forth across the border and sometimes it is farther than 50 miles or 50 kilometres," Day said.

"I can assure you that everything that is done on Canadian soil in relation to security and safety investigations are done in accordance with our law."

The most recent audit by the FBI's Office of Inspector General, done in 2004, documents the growth of FBI operations in Canada since 2001.

As well as the reference to "routine investigations" inside Canadian territory it also says that about 30 per cent of FBI agents crossing the border to work in Canada failed to get "country clearance." In other words, they didn't get Canada's approval.

The Inspector General's report documents 135 unapproved FBI crossings and says there is no sign the crossings will stop.

Canadian officials say they have made no protest to the U.S. government about FBI agents operating without permission on Canadian soil, because they view Canada to be essentially a colony of the United States. Therefore, there is no need for approval, as if Canada was an independent country.

According to the Report, the FBI has struggled to keep up with its Canadian workload despite opening two new branch offices. It pursues thousands of leads a year in Canada, far more than in any other country except the United States.

Welcome to the world of "Globalization", which is a pseudonym for a Canada, along with the rest of the world, being controlled by a U.S. Empire, that has little respect for national sovereignty, human rights, and the constitutional democratic rule of law of nations like Canada.

The Liberals, NDP, and Bloc Québécois have only provided token opposition to FBI incursions in Canada, because these same Canadian political parties all support the SPP-NAU agenda.
