#05TORONTO2778 #cablegate AMBASSADOR BRIDGE OWNERS UNVEIL BIG PLANS FOR DETROIT 05TORONTO2778

2011-10-25T05:39:13Z

On October 20 the Detroit Free Press reported that the Ambassador Bridge owners have proposed giving the City of Detroit $30 million to &extend the lease8 on the Detroit Windsor Tunnel and buy some land at the foot of the bridge. Ambassador Bridge owners say they plan to construct a 200-acre super inspection plaza for U.S. and Canadian border enforcement officials. This article was published one day after the latest meeting of the Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC) Study, evaluating possible sites for a new border crossing. Although the Ambassador Bridge owners are publicly stating that there is no need to construct a new crossing between Detroit and Windsor, they appear to be quietly moving behind the scenes toward construction of a second privately-held bridge span. Although the Ambassador Bridge owners are publicly stating that there is no need to construct a new crossing between Detroit and Windsor, they appear to be quietly moving behind the scenes toward construction of a second privately-held bridge span. Today,s article in the Detroit Free Press shows the funds the Ambassador Bridge owners are willing to expend to protect their revenue stream (estimated at $1 billion per year by the Detroit Free Press) and gain political support for their plans on the Detroit side of the river. Opening a new span on the Ambassador Bridge site could bring some benefits to the Detroit side of the river where a highway construction project will soon provide the needed road infrastructure to smoothly funnel additional cross-border traffic onto I-75. But adding a bridge span in downtown Windsor would present a difficult challenge for officials on the Canadian side of the river.

#05OTTAWA3103, #cablegate SPP: FIRST FINANCIAL SERVICES WORKING GROUP 05OTTAWA3103

2011-10-23T22:53:53Z

Treasury DAS for International Monetary and Financial Policy Mark Sobel led the U.S. delegation to the first Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) Working Group meeting and the 11th NAFTA Financial Services Committee meeting near Ottawa on October 4, 2005. The session was chaired by Gerry Salembier, Director for Financial Institutions at Finance Canada and the Mexican delegation was led by Guillermo Zamarripa Escamilla, head of the Bank and Savings Unit at the Ministry of Finance (Hacienda). Canada will draft a record of the meeting for clearance by Mexico and the U.S. in which the report on SPP issues will be covered in a format that can be presented as a separate report to the leaders, highlighting completion of the first items in the work plan. There was agreement that the U.S. will host the 2006 meeting, with details to be confirmed later. End Introduction and Summary.

#07OTTAWA1192 #cablegate CANADIAN MPS RAISE BORDER AND SPP CONCERNS

2011-10-23T22:04:26Z

Comment: In these and other discussions with MPs we get a good sense for the range of issues they are facing in border ridings. They leave us with several observations. First, there is a need for constant dialogue on key issues. Canadians want to feel like they are part of the planning process and resent when we simply make decisions and inform them. Second, they appreciate clarity. On WHTI and the Ambassador Bridge what hurts us most if simple lack of clarity about what will happen and when. Third, there is considerable disinformation about SPP and beating this back will take a concerted effort. On the Canadian side there may be more work to do to expand the circle of shareholders who are part of the process, ensuring all voices are heard as decisions are made.

As part of a year-long effort to “map the border,” Mission Canada officers visited the frontier to observe ground truth in how the border functions and how to make it work better. Part I of this three-part series reviewed conclusions and recommendations, Part II covered ports of entry, trade, and the environment. This third part reviews immigration models, First Nations issues, WHTI, and law enforcement. The post-9/11 move to enhance security on the border has led to a number of new initiatives to eliminate gaps in border geography, enhance information sharing, and better coordinate law enforcement operations. Mission Canada reinvigorated several fora to better coordinate cross border crime and counter-terrorism policy – principally the Cross Border Crime Forum and the Bilateral Consultative Group on Counter-Terrorism. The U.S. and Canada conducted the first trial “Shiprider” program to move towards cooperative marine policing of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway, which we hope will see law enforcement officers of both nations assigned to the other’s border patrol boats. Our two countries initiated the Integrated Border Enforcement Team (IBET) program, in which officers from the U.S. and Canada share office space at 15 locations on both sides of the border in order to better share information and coordinate local law enforcement activities. And the U.S. and Canada have conducted national and local exercises to test our systems for responding to cross-border incidents.

As part of a year-long effort to “map the border,” Mission Canada officers fanned out along the frontier to observe ground truth in how the border functions and how to make it work better. Part I of this three-part series covered our conclusions and recommendations. This message covers reports on ports of entry, trade, and the environment. Message III covers WHTI, law enforcement, and First Nations issues. In September 2004 meetings in Ottawa with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) counterparts, Canadian Deputy Minister of Public Safety Margaret Bloodworth described the U.S.-Canada border as “a series of gates with no fence between them.” This is an apt description of the 5,500 mile border running through land and waterways all the way from the Atlantic Ocean to Alaska. Along this border there are some 120 “gates,” or ports of entry, including eight at Canadian airports served by CBP preclearance officers. These ports run the gamut from mammoth facilities staffed by hundreds of personnel, like the Detroit-Windsor crossing, to small shed-like structures where a half-dozen officers (three from each country) share a common inspection area and even joint kitchen facilities.

Managing U.S.-Canada relations means managing the border. It’s that simple. And that makes the border the number one priority for Mission Canada. For the past year dozens of officers from the Embassy and our seven consulates have fanned out across Canada to observe the border and discuss border issues with citizens and officials of both Canada and the United States. Their conclusions and analysis are collected here, together with recommendations on how we can better manage our compelling national interest along this vital frontier. This is a three-part cable series. Part I covers the summary, conclusions, and recommendations. Part II reviews ports of entry, the economy, and environmental issues. Part III involves immigration, First Nations issues, WHTI, and cross border law enforcement.

2011-10-23T19:13:30Z

Herman’s hope that this will “solve the problem” raises a tactical issue for us and the Canadians: even were these negotiations to come to fruition, they would not be a a panacea for ”buy national” provisions on both sides of the border. For one thing, the offers by states and provinces will be limited by geographical scope and by sector; for another, municipalities will not be covered at all. We suggest keeping in mind that this opening of Canadian markets will be a very positive step for U.S. exporters and investors but will not put to rest the arguments over “Buy America” and “Buy Canada” regulations.

#09OTTAWA434, #cablegate SUCCESSFUL VISIT TO CANADA BY DHS SECRETARY NAPOLITANO

2011-10-23T18:39:12Z

Minister Kenney expressed his strong desire to enhance information sharing between Canada and the United States, and emphasized that his government is ready to explore legislative changes to make greater information sharing possible. CIC has asked that DHS alert CIC when ICE is preparing significantly to ramp-up interior immigration enforcement actions, as U.S. enforcement activities impact Canada's refugee claimant numbers. The Secretary asked in return that CIC alert DHS to any anticipated changes in immigration policies related to Haiti. Minister Kenney asked to meet with the Secretary on an annual basis to further the relationship and ensure coordination and communication on immigration and visa policy issues, which she agreed would be useful. The Secretary and Minister Van Loan, in a public event on May 26 at the Detroit/Windsor border crossing, signed the long-awaited “Shiprider” agreement, which will enable integrated maritime law enforcement operations to deal with cross-border crime. They also announced an agreement on a framework for the movement of people and goods across the U.S. Canada border during and following an emergency.

2011-10-23T17:39:58Z

PM Harper has set an assertive course for Canadian foreign policy, declaring that “”Canada is back”" on the world scene. However, his ambitions for Canada may exceed his grasp, however, as changes in demography, economic constraints, difficulties in procurement, and competing priorities combine to limit his government’s ability to achieve this sweeping military transformation. The effect is likely to be that military resources will be redirected, defending “”sovereignty”" in the Arctic and other Canadian interests, at the expense of future post-Afghanistan expeditionary missions. Senior Canadian military officials as well as media pundits have already begun to express concern at a likely loss of Canada’s influence with the U.S. and NATO after the end of Canada’s Afghanistan mission, but so far this concern does not appear to be on the Prime Minister’s or the Conservative Party’s radar scope.

#10OTTAWA106 #cablegate CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER LAYS OUT G8, G20 PRIORITIES

2011-10-23T17:23:51Z

PMr Harper has set down some markers for his broad economic agenda, looking ahead to the federal budget in March and to key G8 and G20 objectives. He is using Canada’s relative financial sector health to stake out a position of economic leadership globally. He may try to use this to reinforce Canada’s position in the G8, even as others look increasingly to the G20 for coordination on global issues. End comment.

#10OTTAWA84 #cablegate CANADA POISED TO TIGHTEN CRIME SENTENCING RULES 10OTTAWA84

2011-10-23T16:37:37Z

The Conservatives have used the crime agenda to great effect, making it an essential part of their “brand,” in spite of the fact that they have not actually passed most of their proposed crime and security legislation. The PMO apparently provided no explanation why it will end up waiting four months to enact its own sentencing credit law, but the delay has not prevented the PM from using crime — and the bill — as a partisan issue and to prep for imminent Senate appointments.

#03OTTAWA374 #cablegate AMBASSADOR’S LUNCH WITH TRANSPORT MINISTER 03OTTAWA374

2011-10-23T16:41:17Z

Transport Minister Collenette indicated to Ambassador on January 31 that the GOC is ready to start “exploratory talks” on further aviation liberalization with the United States. Collenette admitted that his government sees little in cargo co-terminalization for Canada – too many small cargo jobs would be lost and Hamilton’s future as the cargo hub in Canada would be threatened. He suggested two longer-range topics: how to deal with the EU and what the “North American air zone” is likely to be ten years from now. When pressed, however, Collenette said that there was no aviation issue that the GOC would preclude from discussion. In sum, talks should start with no preconditions. After all, the Deputy Transport Minister added, in the two years leading up to the current Open Skies agreement, there were far-ranging talks that helped to lay the groundwork for the quick successful agreement we did reach. It seems we are ready to embark on a similar period now, Ranger concluded. (SBU) On other issues, Collenette agreed with the USG that the European Commission’s recommendation to have Galileo use the same frequencies as those used by the military makes no sense and the GOC will support our efforts to counter the EC. There was also a brief discussion of infrastructure issues at major land border crossings, with Collenette remarking that more inspectors are needed to help reduce line-ups. End Summary.

#10OTTAWA126 #cablegate CANADA: CONSERVATIVES GAIN CONTROL OF SENATE 10OTTAWA126

2011-10-23T16:42:08Z

The Conservatives have used Senate reform and law-and-order as political “wedge” issues to bolster their base and to label the Liberals as soft-on-crime. In doing so, the Conservatives have often overstated the Senate’s ability to obstruct legislation. The Conservatives’ new Senate role marks an important shift, enhancing the current government’s ability to advance its own agenda and putting a more conservative – and Conservative — ideological stamp on the Senate that will last for years, regardless of which party forms the next government.

A NOTE OF CAUTION: There is little basis on which to estimate the size of the "upside" gains from an integration initiative concentrating on non-tariff barriers of the kind contained in NAI. For this reason, we cannot make claims about how large the benefits might be on a national or continental scale. When advocating NAI, it would be better to highlight specific gains to individual firms, industries or travelers, and especially consumers. This record is a partial extract of the original cable.

0NAU- Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and American President Obama recently announced the finalization of their common security perimeter deal for North America. When asked where the funds will come from to implement this fortress north america scheme, the Canadian government responded that it would come from money saved via cuts to public services. The cost has been initially reported to be $1-Billion but we all know how these things work, expect that price to skyrocket out of control fast!

U.S. Considers Installing A Fence Along Canada-U.S. Border

2011-10-08T21:02:26Z

NDP justice critic Joe Comartin recently denounced the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency over an environmental impact study that is being conducted which explores the use of "fencing and other barriers" on the 49th parallel to manage "trouble spots where passage of cross-border violators is difficult to control."
