Updated fact sheets on SPP available from Common Frontiers

March 14, 2008
Posted by Rick Arnold (Common Frontiers)

Common Frontiers has revised several fact sheets on ‘free trade’ to help cut through the spin and clutter around the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) – a ‘next generation’ trade deal involving Canada, Mexico and the United States.

These four primers dig into background issues related to the secretive SPP. They are designed for use with an organization’s members who may not know a lot about Canada’s ‘free trade’ agenda. The fact sheets also can be used as informational hand-outs at meetings and/or rallies.

Four fact sheets are now available for free download in English and French.

• Free Trade at the Crossroads – What's up with NAFTA, TILMA and other ‘free trade' deals that Canada is currently promoting?
• Integration by Stealth – Unpacking the secretive SPP
• SPP and Petroleum – Uncovering the real purpose of the SPP in mobilizing Mexican and Canadian energy resources to enhance US ‘security'.
• Alternatives to Free Trade: Thinking Outside the Box – This is what alternative trade and regional solidarity looks like!

Each fact sheet also has a What you can do section suggesting additional Web sites for further learning.

The fact sheets are available in two formats, both as downloadable PDF files. One is a conventional four-page document suitable for printing on letter-sized paper. The other is formatted to be printed on both sides of an 11x17-inch sheet of paper which can be folded to create a four-page booklet.
