Canada, America and Mexico are going to become the North American Union in about 20 years. Do you think that this will happen and if so, what will be the ramifications?

I believe that it is almost inevitable, the existing treaty is working well and it would seem to be the most logical next step.

Personally I have a great love of both Canada and the US, Mexico is another matter, but all things taken into account I believe that it would be a good thing.

I think this is most definitely going to happen North America, Mexico, and Canada will join to become the North American Union (NAU) and then three others will become Unions and then eventually we will all join together under a one-world government and the government will put micro-chips in our body and if we dont do what they want they will turn the chip off dis-abaling you to do anything such as get any money from your bank account or anywhere because it will also cause you to become un-employed you will not be able to buy anything with the money you already had



as a cristian a have one source of proof The Holy Bible as it says in The Revolation Of Jesus Christ the world will be banded together like it once was in roman times and the anti-christ (i imagine it will be someone very high in the world government) will force you to contain the mark of the beast(the microchip) the mark of the beast is 666 but this microchip could represent it and it will be planted in our arm and will watch our every move and the bible says if we are not wearing the mark of the beast we cannot do anything also the food will be scarce and food will rise extremely high in cost it also says in revolation that it will take a mans whole weeks pay to buy one loaf of bread

A North American Union would destroy the continent.

NAFTA is the worst thing that has happened to Canada. It has made out most precious resources (ie water) tradeable commodities. It has forced us to lower our standards regarding pesiticide use to match those of the United States. It has caused the loss of thousands of Canadian jobs as companies move to Mexico for cheaper labour (in turn exploiting the Mexican people). And it has done all of this WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE CANADIAN PEOPLE! If Canada were to join a North American Union, it would take decision making power out of the hands of the Canadain people, and give it to American corporations with no concern for the environment or the welfare of the common people. We would be slaves to the economy even more than we already are.

No, this will not happen in any meaningful way.



The NAU as a concept has been floated around in some circles, but it little more than an academic concept. I did some additional research for this answer, and found a neatly corroborating quote in wikipedia: "an academic exercise with pretensions of reaching policymakers"



The three countries will move towards some common ground as far as trade goes, but the NAU is simply not politically feasible for a variety of reasons.



There is no real popular support in any of the three countries for such a union.



I know of NO policymaker in any of the three countries who has decided to become a proponent of this idea. On the contrary, I can name several in the US who are violently opposed to it.



Further, one simply has to look at the difficulties in Europe in adopting the EU. Even in a more conducive environment there are still countries that have opted out of most of the EU provisions, and kept their currencies.



I currently see no trends in the US that hint of some sea change in attitude towards such a thing. I read several studies regarding such things for an international economics course, and the reality regarding such things is that countries as a whole, are disintegrating into smaller states.



BUT



The second part of your question has to do with ramifications:

That would be hard to guess at, because the real aspects of such a Union would vary widely.



Quite honestly, I couldn't see much that might change other than the adoption of a common currency.



Mexico already exports vast amounts of labor to the US, and such a Union would probably actually keep more Mexicans in Mexico, as living standards there would rise to the point where they would not have to migrate to make a decent living.



Canada would lose its national health care system. This is another reason I don't see Canadians jumping up and embracing a common union that would likely see the end of such a thing.



The average person in the US would see little result, other than a likely lowering of fuel prices, as the inefficient national oil company was privatized and oil production that Mexico controls would receive massive amounts of development capital from US companies seeking to profit from the oil that Mexico controls.

Yes it is going to happen and a lot sooner than that. What people fail to see is that this is part of the central bankers scheme. Let me point out that there is the:

European Union

African Union

soon to be North American Union

soon to be Asain Union

The United Nations will be the governing government when the time is right to form all Unions.

There has to be a great problem I.e( global depression, WW3, something) before they can try to sell us the solution that a 1 world government is the answer.

It is not a conspiracy as people like to believe.

Listen carefully to the powerful... The anwers and signs are everywhere.

I don't think they will ever succeed because the powerful don't have power unless we believe in them. Thats where you, I and everyone else in this world need to realize so we can wake people up.

It would be a disaster for Canada & Mexico,be prepared for mass up-risings in both countries if their leaders sell-out to the Americans.America cannot bring itself to be part of a team,it has to dominate.For Mexico & Canada,Union would mean Americanization.

I hope I'm long dead by the time Canada ever becomes part of the United States.



The ramifications for Canada are that the U.S. will suck every bit of fresh water out of Canada, as they have polluted and over used all of their own.



Most of our lakes will become polluted, our forests cut down, much of Canada will become desert. Oh yes, I forgot, they will kill all the predators especially the wolves and grizzlies, as they have in their own country.



Canadian native people will get their lands taken away from them, especially if they have oil or minerals on them.



The Americans will melt the parts of Canada that they have not already raped for natural resources, then they will cut down all the trees that they can and raise cattle until the land is destroyed, leading to just about every natural disaster that can happen Mudslides, habitat loss for our wildlife, flooding, pollution, mercury in the lakes, arid wastelands instead of grasslands.



Canada will not be as it is or once was, but we'll have lots and lots of money, and lots of guns.

I seriously doubt that this will EVER happen unless there is a horrendous disaster of the worst sort. There is too much American patriotism to ever stand by and watch this happen, although I love our neighbors to the south and north.

Great news for Canada and Mexico but what exactly are the benefits for USA citizens?
