Of COURSE there is no North American Union in the works

It's only a coincidence that two of the three governments of North America have recently signed an agreement to allow each other to use their military forces to assist civil authorities in each other's countries. Canada and the United States can send their troops into each other's countries whenever there is a "civil emergency" that the local civil authorities cannot handle. This, of course, makes no sense in a non-sinister way with the United States, as the United States has approximately three million people in, or capable of being immediately in, uniform between the active duty military, reserve forces and National Guard. Any domestic crisis that the U.S. Department of Defense cannot provide support for on our own soil is likely to be so catastrophic that to the United States that Canada won't be able to do any good anyway.

In a few years time, they'll try to expand this to include Mexico as well. It'll probably happen if McCain or Obama takes office. God forbid that she wins, I don't think Clinton would waste any of her time trying to continue here, when she has to invest her political capital very wisely.

Let's not forget that a more integrated approach to security for the continent is part of the SPP's purpose. Economic integration in North America is slowly underway, and now we see the first early warning signs of military integration as well.

None of this will convince those who refuse to even consider the idea that there is an elitist goal to rewrite the relationship between Canada, Mexico and the United States on every level. Those of us who know a little history know how ironic it is, since the very process that lead to our current system of government, the United States Constitution, was essentially the stuff of conspiracy theories.
