That would be my way of going about it.
I have already messaged my MLA and several people in the government to listen.
If there is any other advice out there that might help to get this horrible shit fest off of the radar, Im listening.
Nationalism is over-rated.
Responses to CAP's Request for Accountability from MP's and Senators
CAP sent out a letter (read the full article on our website,
http://www.canadianactionparty.ca/temp/ ... on_SPP.asp)
to all MP's and Senators asking for full transparent accountability,
regarding their involvement and stand on the Security and Prosperity
Partnership and the destruction of Canada. The following is the first
response, which will be posted on our website, followed by my response
to him. You are encouraged to write to your own MP's and copy to CAP so
we can gain some insight into our elected representation. Hopefully some
of our independant Canadian Media will pursue this matter and reveal the
facts for all Canadians.

Dear Ms. Costen,
As the Member of Parliament for Macleod, I am always happy to hear from
my constituents and indeed urge them to write to me and provide their
thoughts and comments on a variety of issues. I have also asked my
constituents to contact me whenever they have a particular federal
issues they would like assistance with, as I am here to help them.
I am not however in a position to answer to the Canadian Action Party's
questions and concerns. This is not my role or my responsibility. I am
a representative of the people of Macleod and answer to the needs of my
constituents. I am not going to play party politics with you and
provide you with any responses to your party's inquiries. You should
have your party write directly the Conservative Party Headquarters and
not to myself.
I am happy to assist you, as my constituent, on specific issues of
concern or in areas of federal need. Therefore, should you require
assistance of a federal nature, please do not hesitate to write to me
again. Should you wish to write again to request information from me or
my office for the Canadian Action Party, I greatly appreciate receiving
it as it provides invaluable information and great details as to the
direction of your party, but I will not be replying to those emails.
Sincerely,
Ted Menzies, MP
Macleod
My Response:
June 28, 2006
Dear Mr. Menzies
Thank you for your response. It is indicative of the current mindset in
Ottawa. You may respond to me directly as one of your constituents, if
you feel more comfortable in that role. It would seem however that you
have downplayed your role significantly.
The new government website states, your role as, ‘Parliamentary
Secretary to the Minister of International Cooperation’ starting
2006/02/07. Definition of this Ministry {( Wikipedia) Minister for
International Cooperation is responsible for overseeing Canadian
international development strategy within the federal government's
foreign department, Foreign Affairs Canada. This includes responsibility
for the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). } Canadians
would expect that ‘International Cooperation’ would indicate some
involvement with United States and Mexico, does that cooperation involve
the endorsement of the North American Union of these three countries
under American control? I would think you should be capable of answering
that question. Further I note you are a member of International Trade
Committee since 2006/04/26; Subcommittee on International Human
Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International
Development since 2006/05/10 as well as sitting as an associate member
on no less than 25 committees. All of these roles, puts you in a very
real position of accountability to the people of Canada, as these roles
are not exclusive to Macleod Riding.
It is interesting that you are responding to me today while the press is
reporting that “- The Conservative party may have illegally accepted
millions in unreported donations last year because it didn't understand
political financing laws.”

Will it also be you and your party’s claim that you didn’t understand my
question, or your role or the plan for a North American Union and the
Security and Prosperity Partnership? We are not asking if your party
endorses it, we are asking if you endorse it. An article in U.S.
Embassy quotes your U.S. connection on trade extensively. Apparently
your connections and involvement are well known. You’ll forgive me for
not accepting your lack of knowledge on this issue.
‘"I know three former U.S. secretaries of agriculture and two former
U.S. trade representatives -- and met with most of them at the WTO
Ministerial Conference in Hong Kong last December," Mr. Menzies boasts.
Former president Ronald Reagan's trade rep, Clayton Yeutter, is an "old
friend" of Mr. Menzies' -- as is J.B. Penn, the undersecretary for farm
and foreign agricultural services in the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Canadian MP says he has also become acquainted with American
lawmakers, particularly during a trip he and some of his fellow
parliamentarians made to Washington, D.C. last April.”
http://www.embassymag.ca/html/index.php ... 8/menzies/
Boasting of your friendship with the man who’s notorious for his role on
behalf of the U.S. in the first Free Trade and who’s prophetic quote is
now a reality indicates your connections are indeed well placed;
‘Canadians don't understand what they've signed. In twenty years, they
will be sucked into the U.S. economy." Clayton Yeutter, U.S. trade
representative.”
Canadian Action Party has no desire to ‘play’ any games, politics or
otherwise, while Canada’s future hangs in peril. During the election
campaign you ignored this issue, perhaps because it was a Liberal plan,
however you are now in a position to reveal this plan and take a stand
against it. We wrote to every member of Parliament and every Senator, in
their capacity as public servants to the people of Canada. It serves no
purpose to skirt the issue by advising us that you do not have to
respond to another political party.
Canadian Action Party is a legally registered federal political party
and as such is part of the unofficial opposition. We have a duty to
represent Canadian interests and to speak on behalf of the Canadian
people. Our authority comes from the same source as does yours, although
our influence comes from the people of Canada, without any influence
from corporate multi-nationals. All of these trade deals, which threaten
our sovereignty have been designed by the leaders of business,
bureaucrats in the best interest of their profit margins with little
regard for the people or environment of any country. Why is the future
of our nation being decided by unelected and unaccountable individuals,
rather than the people of this nation, through our elected officials?
Your attempts to downplay the significance of our correspondence by
stating, ‘I greatly appreciate receiving it as it provides invaluable
information and great details as to the direction of your party’ is
simply an indication of the immaturity of a party feeling threatened by
another political party. Exhibiting your new found ‘power’ over the
people of Canada through evading legitimate questions reinforces the
urgency of the matter. Canadian Action Party states our platform clearly
and concisely, we stand for a free, sovereign, peace-seeking Canada. You
are welcome to gain insight to our mission, vision and platform as it is
all very clearly set out on our website. You are also welcome to adopt
any of our policies as they are in the best interest of Canadians. I
would direct you in particular to our plan to remove the over $500
billion yoke of debt from the backs of Canadians. So let us not dwell
on the opportunities I have provided for you.
Our questions are very serious and require full accountability and
transparent disclosure. (This, in keeping with the Conservatives
election campaign promises. The Liberals did not make such a
declaration but they did state they would get to the bottom of things.)
That is what we are asking for, regardless of which party colours you
wear. The letter and questions are not directed at your ‘Conservative
party headquarters’, they are directed to each Member of Parliament and
each Senator. The questions stand. What role have you played in the
dismantling of Canada? Did you participate, either personally or as part
of a collective mind, in the plan to create a North American Union,
without the consent of the Canadian people? Or if you do not endorse
this plan, what have you done to ‘stand for Canada’ and prevent this
unholy three-some from taking place?
May I remind you that you are paid to represent the people of Canada and
the people of Macleod Riding within Canada. Your many roles as listed
as well as your attendance at the WTO, clearly contradict your claim to
only answer to Macleod Riding issues. As a sitting MP during the last
election campaign you refused to discuss this issue, in fact I recall
you using the words, ‘fearmongering’ when I brought the issue to the
public. Stating the truth is not fearmongering! You owe us an
explanation rather than word games. The people of Canada deserve answers
from our elected/appointed officials regardless of who is asking the
question. If you prefer to have constituents from each riding in Canada
write to you regarding the destruction of our nation without their
knowledge or consent, we will suggest Canadians do so. As previously
mentioned all responses will be posted to our website and Canadians can
decide for themselves how they wish to proceed. I look forward to your
response.
Yours truly
