Barack Obama: Citizenship And Immigration

Intelligence Agencies Dept: The 14-page public relations document recommended that talks keep a low public profile in the months leading up to the announcement by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama. At the same time, the government would secretly engage stakeholders interested parties such as big business groups and others in a way that respected the confidentiality of the announcement, according to The Star. On Friday, Harper and Obama signed off on a plan that for the first time envisions throwing up a single security ring around the perimeter of Canada and the U.S. The wide-ranging blueprint calls for increased cooperation between the two countries police, border and intelligence agencies; an integrated Canada-U.S. exit-entry system using high-tech identification techniques and more sharing of information about Canadians with U.S. authorities and oTTAWA The federal government deliberately kept negotiations on a border deal with Washington secret while it planned ways to massage public opinion in favour of the pact, according to a confidential communications strategy. In advance, the government departments involved including industry, foreign affairs, international trade and citizenship and immigration were to align supportive stakeholders to speak positively about the announcement, according to the strategy prepared by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews officials. As reported in the news.
