Betrayed?! What, again?

Not that I think any agreement with America ought to go unexamined, nor am I generally a fan of greater integration, given recent statements by David Dodge, the head of the Bank of Canada on the liklihood of an American economic meltdown.

But once again, the old war cry of Canada is Doomed appears.
Timmy the G thinks that the new North American security plan is a betrayal of Canadian Sovereignty. As the NDP puts it:

"In addition to being undemocratic, the deep integration strategy ignores the need to maintain Canada's identity and sovereignty. Allowing corporate North America to define our interests as a nation implies, in the end, complete regulatory harmonization with the U.S., and the subordination of our economic, social, cultural, and environmental policies to US policies," Mr. Julian said.

It's just that I've read this so many times now in the course of my research, going back to the 60's with Watkins, Laxer and The Waffle, and going through the 80's and 90's with the FTA and NAFTA. I'm just not convinced that THIS is the time the sky is falling, you know?
