Canada-U.S. pact allows cross-border military activity
Deal allows either country to send troops across the other's border to deal with an emergency

Canada and the U.S. have signed an agreement that paves the way for the militaries from either nation to send troops across each other's borders during an emergency, but some are questioning why the Harper government has kept silent on the deal.

Neither the Canadian government nor the Canadian Forces announced the new agreement, which was signed Feb. 14 in Texas.

The U.S. military's Northern Command, however, publicized the agreement with a statement outlining how its top officer, Gen. Gene Renuart, and Canadian Lt.-Gen. Marc Dumais, head of Canada Command, signed the plan, which allows the military from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation in a civil emergency.

Now that it's out in Canada we'll probably be hearing something soon I would imagine. They're awfully good about not informing us of such things. Thank God for leaks.

Mom sent me this. I stuck here because it is from the Canadafreepress. It's old news,(being we are aware but feel helpless in our endeavor) but I like to keep my finger on the pulse of the world watching us. Kinda of a both sides of the story thing. Short and worth reading becuse it mentions our stand before the storm. PF

Wow PF! This is a great article. I hope more come here to read it. This is our Govt. and unfortunately the man who wrote the article is telling the honest truth. Makes me ashamed that I sit here and do nothing. It seems like there is something more we can do other than write letters, make phone calls and stockpile. They are not hearing us. kinda makes me mad. Is this "The Plan"? I wonder.
