An influential tri-national panel has considered a raft of bold proposals for an integrated North America, including a continental customs union, single passport and contiguous security perimeter.

According to a confidential internal summary from the first of three meetings of the Task Force on the Future of North America, discussions also broached the possibility of lifting trade exemptions on cultural goods and Canadian water exports.

Those last two suggestions were dismissed in subsequent deliberations, say members of the task force, an advisory group of academics, trade experts, former politicians and diplomats from Canada, the United States and Mexico sponsored by the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations.

Members said the task force's final report this spring will focus on "achievable" rather than simply academic questions like that of a single North American currency.

Plans are afoot to assimilate Canada step by step. Canada has to be very careful about anything things involves a permanent government connection to the US. Once a permanent joint command is setup, it will be easy to slowly take over the country piece by piece. Missle defense and border security would provide enough grounds to eventually bring the entire Canadian military under a joint command. And once that happens, Canadian independence will slowly slip away.

This wont' be quick, but the population difference between the US and the inherent desire of the US industries to get easy access to Canadian resources will make it inevitable if the governments get to entangled.

It seems to me that what we should be trying to do is to convince your boys that they should back away from this multi-G$ boondoggle and blow the money on things that are far more likely to produce positive security results for your country, like hiring more people to look inside containers in LA and other such places. It's what a real friend would do....

Never work, the goal isn't real security anyway. The real goal is building up the military and manipulating the population through the apperance of security via military power.

New No shit
of course, our militaries are already very heavily entangled via NORAD. We don't think this is a problem though, and so far it hasn't been. OTOH, the idea that a small but influential group would like to get direct hands on our natural resources and Mexico's cheap labour is not a surprise to me.

If they end up running rough shod to get it, I'll be taking up the fourth item in that box list.
