“Manly has created an extremely thorough introduction to a set of issues that will increasingly affect every Canadian.

Film Description:
What do secrecy, police provocateurs, an assault on democracy and infringements on citizens’ rights have in common? The Security Prosperity Partnership.
‘You, Me, and the S.P.P: Trading Democracy for Corporate Rule’ is a feature length documentary which exposes the latest manifestation of a corporatist agenda that is undermining the democratic authority of the citizens of North America.
Two processes, the Security Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and the Trade Investment Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA) are rapidly eroding and eliminating standards, civil liberties, regulatory systems and institutions put in place over generations through the democratic process. Proponents of the SPP and TILMA say that they are needed to keep trade flowing, opponents say these agreements not only undermine the democratic authority of citizens they threaten the sovereignty of the three nations through the integration of military, security structures and regulatory regimes.
A few quotes from the film:
“… after the shock of Sept 11 … that crisis was expertly manipulated by our political leaders to push through a range of policies they actually had wanted to push through before Sept 11, but didn’t have the political conditions that made that possible.”
Naomi Klein, Canadian award-winning journalist, author
“…if we go along with the Americans on their military, on their human rights, on their Patriot Act, on immigration and refugee policy, on energy, on all kinds of regulations over pesticides or whatever, then they will allow us access to their markets.”
Gordon Laxer, Director, The Parkland Institute, Alberta
“… what the SPP really represents is a parallel government, so that the important decisions are either made outside of parliament and outside of legislatures or they make it impossible for those kinds of decisions to be made in those legislative bodies, so that democracy is slowly being gutted.”
Murray Dobbin, Canadian author, journalist
“The ultimate goal, quite obviously, is to create such tight integration that effectively we only have one North American political, security, military and economic place – that there really are no differentials between this country and the country next door.”
Michael Byers, Canada Research Chair, Global Politics and International Law, UBC
“The SPP is a dumbing down, a reducing of quality of life, a reducing of standards, and there is absolutely no indication in any of the documents we’ve been able to obtain through hard pushing through access to information, and through diligent work, not a single indication that we’re looking for a higher standard anywhere.”
Peter Julian, NDP International Trade Critic

When will the film be shown in BC and how can I attend in support?
Hi Jeff
Check the screening page http://www.youmespp.com/screenings/ . The screenings in BC start on Oct 30th. I am still working on booking some dates and venues. They should all be booked shortly.
When is the french version going to be ready ?
A preliminary version with French subtitles will be ready for screening during the tour. This version will be ready for manufactured reproduction in late November.
No London date? But you have to drive right past us to get from Windsor to Kitchener-Waterloo.
Hi Robert, I tried to get a booking in London but couldn’t find a host organization that had time when I was coming through Ontario. Hopefully Cinema Politica will screen it there.
Please let me know when you have the french subtitled version available for purchass, a lot of french speeking quebeckers are really concerned by the SPP and were present in Montebello.
Hi Myriam
We finished a subtitled version of the film this Monday – about 12 hours before I got on the plane to start the tour. It still needs a little work but it will be finished and ready for manufacture when I finish the tour at the end of November. Hopefully we will have copies for sale in early December.
As you’ve amply illustrated, Paul, it is a criminal enterprise that is orchestrating our public affairs. While it is only just becoming apparent to many Canadians now, this criminal enterprise has been in charge for some time, growing bigger and bolder as we continue to deny what is becoming more obvious each passing day.
Yours very truly,

Hi Paul
Hope your tour is going well.
Is there a podcast or youtube available of your opening night panel discussion and Q&A for those of us that missed it?
Hi Alison
The event is the featured video on the rabble.tv site at http://www.rabble.ca/rabbletv
Is there any chance of another screening in the Ottawa area to finish the tour? Some of only found out about this after the tour had left town.
Hi Bob
I won’t be going back to Ottawa as part of this tour but if you want to organize a local screening you are welcome to do so.
Hi Paul, Thanks for coming to Winnipeg to show your film! Well done and insightful. I’m glad you made it accessible to the average person. I’m looking forward to your series on what people can do locally to defy corporate control.
Hi Paul,
Congrats on your film.
I got stills from that incident too. Even got close ups of the police officers
North American Union is the full-blown version of René Lévesque’s phony “Sovereignty Association” (1980) and Jacques Parizeau’s phony “Sovereignty Partnership” (1995), which our elites have for decades attempted to pull off using Quebec “secession“ and the separatists as a front. After two failed referendums to “secede” into the EEC-EU system — intended to be spread to North America — 9/11 gave the coup d’état the impetus it needed to get the final integration done on a fast-track. Now, all they need is a final phony referendum to cover up the TREASON.
On 9 June 2010, as I predicted, Gilles Duceppe announced the upcoming third and final referendum for Quebec to “secede“… into “North American Union“…
The SPP is not politics; nor can it be reviewed and legalized by a public vote. North American Union is treason; secession is TREASON. The Constitution of Canada is NOT “silent” on the “ability” of a province to secede from Confederation. The Supreme Court LIED. Not only did they lie, they overthrew the Constitution in 1998 and replaced it with Secession as the “supreme law“. Secession and ANNEXATION are both unconstitutional and illegal in Canada.
See my grounds page at http://www.habeascorpuscanada.com. They have divided Canada turning French against English for decades, to conquer us with multiple phony secessions as a back-door attack on the Parliament of Canada, to replace it on the way to world government via continental union.
I am fund-raising for the legal preparations. All donations will be extremely useful and may be sent via paypal to: habeas.corpus.canada@live.com, or in my profile at Facebook.
