So Los Tres Amigos were just in Montebello talking about the SPP (see the Council of Canadians Integrate This! resources) ; Daniel Tencer's overview of media coverage in Maisonneuve provides a good overview...while Maude Barlow is quoted in The Ottawa Citizen, Summit critics 'vindicated':

The Council of Canadians and several other groups have demanded greater transparency, painting the NACC (North American Competitivess Council) as a secretive and elite club that uses special access with prime ministers and presidents to push an agenda of continental integration. Ms. Barlow said the "jaw-dropping" report is an admission that the SPP won't succeed without more public input.
