Are you ready for the NAU?

That would be the North American Union.

Thanks to P_Funk for inspiring this thread.

I'm very much scared by all these buddy-up with the US ideas coming out. I just tonight heard of legislation that the Federal Conservatives want to quietly put through that allows any allied (hear that, not just American) 'officer of the peace', meaning not just police, to enter Canada with their firearm with less paperwork.

Canada's sovereignty is being gutted from the inside, and we elected the bastards.

Site for thought:

Take Canada Back.

I think that takes the idea a few step more than what you're thinking of, P-Funk? :hmm:

I think it takes a different view of Canada for one. He obviously isn't the pinko-commie handout queen that I am. However he also fears the loss of rights in the so called 'war on terrorism'. On NAFTA he's bang on.

I don't have to 100% agree with the specifics to stand with him on the general idea. Most important is our sovereignty. We're losing that to the US.

Ya know I hear nothing but pissing and moaning pretty much from this particular board here on subsim about the world and how we are destroying the earth and need to do this and do that to make it better...

How exactly do you think anything major to save the little plant you live on, will succeed unless someone takes a chance/takes a step out in faith and tries something new?

You are going to need Drastic drastic changes pronto or you may as well think of how and what universe you want to be re-incarnited into cause this one is almost beyond repair and all the scientists in the world will concede this...

Man has neither the will nor forsight to see what evil he has done and how to escape his deeds.

Free trade agreements and police from America coming into Canada are the least of the worlds problems me thinks....truly

For Canadians they are the height of issues. Canada has always had a difficult relationship with the US being so close. NAFTA is also far from a free trade agreement. Its a contract that the US selectively respects. Free trade is meant to be without tariff or border tax, but routinely canadian goods are charged simply because they're more competitive than the American equivalent. That isn't part of the deal, and every single arbitration has agreed. The US still ignores it. For my country it is a big deal.

And that is only the surface of it. It isn't just innocent robbery on the part of American tariffs which have actually forced saw mill closures in BC over softwood lumber, no its more than that. There is a concerted effort to dissolve the borders between our two countries and to negate Canadian control of our territories. I've already mentioned the North-West passage a few times. American submarines have a few times openly violated our waters just to prove that they can. An American judge also ordered the seizure of the Canadian end of a tunnel used to smuggle drugs into the US.

I think that if it were your country's sovereignty being violated you'd give a damn.

Excellent! I wonder how our flag will look with all those extra stars!

Have the Americans suddenly found out about a vast stock of oil reserves lying underground in Canadian territory? :hmm:

They've known about them for a while, I think we're safe for now

You're both wrong.

Sorta, but a (voluntary) union of Canada and the US would be good for both countries I think.
