Subject: "KILL! NATO: SAVE! Europe by making
            Russia PROSPER!
", says the President,
            Party Leader of the Égalité Party of Canada 





European Development in Russia: WIN-WIN
==================================
NATO nations are being pitted against Russia: this is
DISASTROUS for BOTH the Europe and Russia, whose
economy is the size of the Netherlands and is in
*DISPARATE NEED* OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

The FUTURE of Europe - economically speaking - lies
with RUSSIA: it has to go East. To antagonize RUSSIA
by *building up* NATO forces will eventually make
Europe an economical basket case like the Arab/Muslim
and Latino countries today.

The GLOBAL ECONOMY will suffer.

EVERYONE! will suffer.

What RUSSIA needs to do is *REWARD* EUROPE for
*DISBANDING* NATO by allowing Europe to PARTICIPATE
*FULLY* in the FUTURE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT of
Russia FOR *MUTUAL* BENEFIT.

Russian and European leaders need to recognize their
MUTUAL DEPENDENCY and MAKE IT WORK for BOTH
Europe and Russia.

If EUROPE is to be *ECONOMICALLY STRONG* it NEEDS
RUSSIA: EUROPE's ECONOMIC FUTURE DEPENDS ON
RUSSIA.

Strong economic development involving Russia and
Europe as PARTNERS will generate SYNERGY that will
benefit the World while reducing the threat of terrorism.

Clearly, Russia needs to develop a VIABLE PARTNERSHIP
*WITH* EUROPE that will make its economy strong so
it can better face the future and vice versa.

Russia working hand in hand with Europe will create
a *WIN-WIN* solution for Russia, Europe, and the
World.


COMECON: GONE! NATO: REDUNDANT
=================================

NATO and its communist counterpart, COMECON, were
byproducts of the Cold War.

Thanks to Mr. Gorbachev the Cold War is over.

Thanks to Mr. Gorbachev COMECON is gone.

So why is NATO still there?

What for?

To intimidate and isolate Russia?

Let's face it: NATO has served its purpose acting as a
counterbalance to COMECON.

Today, NATO is REDUNDANT.

The Soviet leadership has said this *REPEATEDLY*.

Plus, NATO - by its very existence - INTERFERES with
the UN.

There is NO NEED for NATO given the UN and its world
peace mandate.

And the fact that the Americans have agreed to participate
and abide by the UN from now on rather than go out on
a limb alone as they have done in Iraq indicates that
the UN will be GIVEN A NEW LIFE for the Americans can
make the UN work and they said that it's their intention
to do so.


NATO FOSTERS! the Arms Race
==========================
NATO countries spend more money on the military than
is necessary on account of NATO that *ARTIFICIALLY
STIMULATES* the ARMS RACE which INCREASES
INSTABILITY by making armed conflict more likely.

This is a WASTE OF PUBLIC $$$ that can be better used
towards STRONG SOCIAL INITIATIVES which in turn will
STRENGTHEN THE NATIONAL ECONOMY and result in less
taxation due to REDUCED SOCIAL COSTS.

Strong national economies is THE KEY to avoiding a
global economic meltdown.

$$$ is TOO PRECIOUS to be wasted on *UNNECESSARY *
MILITARY SPENDING.


NATO *DISRESPECTS* Russia
=========================
NATO is an anti-Russia military force that treats Russia
as a BELLIGERENT nation and in so doing *DISRESPECTS*
Russia.

This is especially insulting as Russia is a member of the
G8. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G8

The Americans promised Russia all sorts of help if it were
to reject communism and when Russia did reject communism
and needed $$$, were the Americans there for them as
promised? NO!

However, Germany stepped up to bat for Russia.

Clearly, Germany under the leadership of Chancellor Angela
Merkel has a RESPONSIBILITY TO LEAD on behalf of Europe
to dismantle NATO in return for FULL PARTICIPATION in in
the ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT of Russia.

I am confident that President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia
and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin would be happy to have
Europe as a FULL PARTNER in the development of a STRONG
RUSSIA.

They would probably agree that it's an ESSENTIAL NEXT
STEP in achieving a MORE! HARMONIOUS World Order.


Mr. Gorbachev KILLED! COMECON http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Gorbachev
============================
Communism and COMECON came to an end thanks to one
man: Mr. Mikhail Gorbachev.

*HIS* policy of "perestroika" and "glasnost" ("perestroika",
a Russian term that means "restructure" coupled with
another Russian term meaning "openness", "glasnost")
resulted many things like:
1. the freedom of speech;
2. legalization of non-communist political parties;
3. a functional parliament where members could express
    themselves freely and vote freely with the parliamentary
    proceedings broadcast live via radio and tv;
4. private ownership of small businesses by families and
    individuals.

Most importantly, Mr. Gorbachev allowed the Polish People
to settle their own affairs by NOT! interfering in Polish affairs
with Russia's very large contingent of troops and tanks
*already* stationed in Poland at the time of the Solidarnoz
Movement  created by the Union leader, Lech Walesa.

Mr. Gorbachev, winner of the 1990 Noble Peace Prize,
later recognized the reunification of Germany that began
in November 1989 and the political independence of the
other Eastern Europe countries as well: this effectively
put an end to COMECON and the USSR.

Mr. Gorbachev proved to be the MOST FORWARD LOOKING
LEADER in the history of Russia who thought in terms of
what's GOOD! for Russia and the World.

NATO is NOT! GOOD for Russia.

NATO is NOT! GOOD for the world.

Because NATO is NOT! a STEP FORWARD:
NATO is THE PAST, NOT! THE FUTURE.

NATO must be DISBANDED
for the GOOD of Russia and mankind.

The World owes Mr. Gorbachev this.

Personally Invited to Meet Mr. Gorbachev
===============================
When I was Chief Senate Page and Mr. Marchand was
Speaker of the Senate and Joe Clark was Prime Minister,
I was invited to meet Mr. Gorbachev.

It was a last minute invitation: Mr. Gorbachev was in the
Senate Reading room and I was on the OTHER SIDE of
the Senate Reading Room in the hallway just behind the
Senate Chamber dressed in my Page uniform.

It was about 1:40 p.m. a bright sunny afternoon when
a Canadian Security Establishment persons approached
me and said that they would like me to meet Mr. Gorbachev
in the Senate Reading room with two (2) other persons.

I said I had a very quick errand to do and I'd be right there.

OVERCOME WITH EXCITEMENT (I knew how important
Mr. Gorbachev was going to be.) MY MIND WENT BLANK
and I forgot to meet with him.

But the invitation encouraged me to do my part in the
Cold War where every little bit helped.

As predicted Mr. Gorbachev's liberalization program did
lead to the democratization of the USSR: HE WAS A BRAVE
MAN, *THE MAN* OF THE HOUR.

The World owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Gorbachev.


NO MORE NATO with the ÉPC
========================
Under Aritcle 15 of the ÉPC (Égalité Party of Canada)
platform Canada will ONLY be involved outside of Canada
militarily with the UN - *ONLY*.

The ÉPC sees NATO as an UNNECESSARY Gov't expense
which under Article 20 of the ÉPC platform is seen as a
criminal offense.


BOYCOTT! the Elections
===================
If the Gov't doesN'T care about the POOR and the
Homeless, it MOST CERTAINLY doesN'T care about
you either.

On Election Day show the Gov't that
YOU DON'T CARE TO VOTE
by taking the day off
and enjoying yourself.

This is your chance
to get even.


SUPPORT! the ÉPC
================
For NO! POVERTY.

For 100% CLEAN! Gov't financially policed by Canadians
via the Internet, SUPPORT the ÉPC (Égalté Party of Canada).

It's the ONLY! political party committed BOTH! to
REDISTRIBUTING THE WEALTH and STRENGTHENING
THE ECONOMY by making helping Canadians build
their own small businesses GOV'T *TOP* PRIORITY.
