"Much better relations, absolutely. I don't support an integrated union. There would be little voice for Canada, loss of income from Canada and the U.S. to Mexico and the Westernization of Mexican culture."
All that is happening right now between Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. is better relations for the preparation of an integrated union creating the North American Union. Technically, the United States would be a union within a union, hence united.
These better relations would explain why the U.S. currently isn't doing anything about immigration.

Is it possible that the War on Terrorism is nothing more than a smoke screen and that another agenda behind the War on Terrorism is to divide the country to make the integration of the North American Union possible, when before the War on Terrorism the integration would never have been possible since the American populace was united?

This is NAFTA on steroids.
Here is the new SuperState's website

The North American Union deal was signed in 2005! Bush sold us all down the Rio Grande. Soon all the borders will be open!

The worst part of this is that Bush signed this deal without consulting Congress or the American people.
Goodbye more American jobs and cities in the South.

Depends on how it was done. If a North American Union would turn Canada and Mexico into the USA, or better, then sure, why not? But Canada and Mexico's political systems are both incompatable with the USA. I suspect that there will be compromises which would have various degrees of benefits and destruction. Furthermore, without question, and generally, Canada and especially Mexico would be a huge liability, not only financially, but morally, ethically, and politically. While those two countries may benefit for a short time, the USA will suffer for a long time. All three countries would suffer from a tremendous rebuilding of infrastructure, all of which I suspect would be sitting around useless for possibly decades. The chaos caused during the transition may offset any temporary benefits Mexico and Canada might enjoy. If we are upset at the corruption in our government now, wait until you see it then!

No, I would not welcome it. Lets take a look back into history-all the large Empires in the world seemed to suffer unseemly ends. The Roman Empire being a great example. Years later, the Ottoman Empire (which covered most of the land the former Roman Empire, yet had Muslim rule) suffered the same fate.
My point is, is that history has proved that great Empires that cover large amount of land area do not endure. Look at Great Britain. It has been around for ages, yet is is so small! If we were to combine these three countries, one ruler would never be able to keep all the citizens in line. We would be to spread out, there would be more room for corruption, too much could go wrong.
However, I would gladly embrace a much closer alliance between these countries. Maybe there could be a system so that workers could go in and out of the countries on contracts, such as the green card system, but make it easier for people to live part time in one country for work. This could help with job problems.
Also, if the countries joined together to help Mexico get a more lively economy, then perhaps there would be more job opportunities there because the government could afford maintenance jobs such as we have here. There could also be better services, such as health care. This may discourage people from crossing the boarder illegally.
I don't know if that made much since, but that is my view point ^.^

No, but Europeanization is bad goal, but a good goal is open borders, and travels to work, play, retire anywhere in the Americas, were all people of the new world.
Mexicanizaiton of America will not stop long term, yet Angloziation of Mexico will not ethier its graudal culutral covergence is occuring now. Open trade, borders, but not a merge of nations that is useless.
Is that bad? No, it been occruing since the late 19th century. National boundries will exist in 100 years, but immigration, travel restirctions will be abolished for the most part because people will want to move and see the world than stay in one country.
America is like Brazil with different mixes of race, and same with Mexico. Canada is really the exception, but that changing with immigration from Asia and Americas. USA, and Canada are moving away from european culture more toward a blend of Arermidain, Anlgo, Latin mix of culture unqie to its own. Politicans can try to stop, but people actions in marketplace, radio, in town speak louder than words.

No taking into interest who has the most to provide/lose to this "union". What a threat income ought to there be for individuals? Regard the really value in money of rectify 3 very diverse governments, a minimum of three diverse languages, correcting an fantastically corrupt Mexican social equipment and propping up the money equipment of our new companions. inspite of if our cutting-edge monetary problem did not exist this nevertheless seems value prohibitive. i have self belief we are able to income each and every of the constructive out comes from this manner of unification by extra proactive commerce and social regulations. There’s continuously the former maxim “good fences make good associates”; it isn’t about isolation it’s about appreciate from both area. kinfolk like relationships favor to be worked on continuously, they're continuously acceptable even as it’s a adventure.

It would really depend on how much life as I know it would have to change to accept Canadian law and Mexican law.
I think Canadian and American governments would work well together, as both countries are strong on their own.
Mexico has proven time and again to have a very fragile government system (I have friends of Mexican birth and citizenship who will attest to this). It is no secret the bloodbaths in border towns too close to the Texas border.
Maybe a Canadian-American union could slowly grandfather in a Mexican merger... but I believe that Mexico, with it's current governmental problems, would weaken such a union.

No. And neither would the Canadians or the Mexicans. Each of these nations has their own culture, their own country, and their own economic and political interests. They will develop open markets and open trade; but that doesn't mean they want to be one country.

Hell no, Canadians like our freedom (not just a slogan here), health care, education system, religious rights (for all). We also do not want to be hated around the world or assumed to be one of "them". It is hard enough convincing people we are not American. You Americans b itch and complain about speaking spanish...imagine if you had to learn french too.

Nope, we are good the way we are. Think, if we want to go out of the country, all we have to do is drive there. That is great for those who cannot fly. We are fine.
