Prime Minister Harper is expected to announce a "new" border agreement with the United States today that is being billed as the biggest leap in the Canada-U.S. relationship since the first free trade agreement. He will sign the deal alone, without permission from the Canadian public, without approval from Parliament. It's typical of his government's anti-democratic record and we shouldn't put up with it!

From media reports about the deal, there is no compromise. It could mean the wholesale adoption of U.S. security, surveillance, immigration, and military practices in return for a hollow promise of a "thinner" border for trade. The result will be two borders: one U.S. patrolled around the perimeter, the other a persistent irritant along the 49th parallel.
