MONTREAL -- The union representing customs agents says the new decision by the Canada Border Services Agency to curtail its involvement in assisting other police forces across the country raises safety issues.

The CSBA announced the move on Dec. 24, citing a budget crunch and concerns over "gaps in officers' authorities and protections."

But a vice president for the Customs and Immigration Union said that means fewer raids, fewer seizures and less safety.

"There will be an immediate impact on security," Jean-Pierre Fortin said Sunday.

This seems to be totally against what Vic Toews the Canadian Minister of public safety has been pushing for the last year. And what about keeping us Canadians safe from all those scary terrorists? Why such a sudden change? Why now?

Well I do not think that this is unrelated to the "New North American Security Perimeter", that has been reported to be announced in the next month or so.

In the New North American Security Perimeter (precursor to the North American Union)it is said that The Americans do not trust the Canadians to protect the Northern area of North America. Also that they will utilize biometric data for travelers at airports and land crossings. These two possibilities will render the Canadian customs agents, well rather useless. The Americans do not trust them and want the department of homeland security to be keeping us Canadians safe.

But I know this is only a deal with the United States right? Nothing to do with a North American Union, because Mexico is not involved.

They tried to just push forward with all three parties openly (I use that term very loosely), and the people saw it for what it was while it was called the SSP.

Now a different tactic is being used. The Americans have already signed an almost identical agreement with Mexico.

"The U.S. announced a similar deal with Mexico in March. It included moves to expedite travel and commerce such as secure transit lanes for pre-cleared rail and truck shipments, as well as passenger pre-clearance for individuals." Source

These agreement are exactly what the SSP was. Just with different packaging. All three governments can say, We have not signed into the North American Union. We have only signed a deal with one of our neighboring countries, not both of them. Meanwhile they are or have already signed on to the exact same agreement with the other parties involved.

It is all a slight of the hand trick, and we need to see it for what it is! We are running out of time, very quickly!
