USA, Mexico, Canada might become the North American Union
Maybe some of you have seen on the news the idea of making a huge highway from Mexico to Canada. And, as you probably know, borders aren't being improved. I have recently seen on more than one political program that the US is taking steps toward making a North American Union. Much like the Europeans made the European Union. They did it really slowly. They established a shadow government, let borders fade away, and then suddenly everything fell together, the Euro was born, and the US Dollar was beaten.
Supposedly, if we were united with Mexico and Canada, Mexicans could unload our imports from China faster and incredibly cheaper. Also, We could ship things around North America faster and cheaper. Plus, our combined currency would destroy the Euro. Is this why borders are being left alone? Is this why the highway is being planned?
Another strange thing: In one of Orwell's old books, he predicted that in the future there will be only three world superpowers, all going by fantastic nicknames. The scary part: The European Union exists, Red China is growing, North American Union........
Do you think we will become one superpower??? Search 'North American Union' on Youtube.com, watch some of the videos(really interesting!) Then please give your thoughts.
Not bigoted at all. Saddened because Mexicans are forced into a position where that kind of lifestyle is their only option. If the North American Union goes through, it could be the only option for the Americans and Canadians as well, as large corporations consolidate their markets without any concern for the people.
Because Canadians and Mexicans aren't Americans, right?
No they are not, as the term is used by many of the US citizens, the term "american" is keyed to mean those of the US.
This is commom usage and if you did not know it, now you do.
Yes they are American! I know it's keyed to mean that here in the U.S. but that doesn't change the meaning. They are absolutely American. I know American usually refers to a U.S. citizen, and was just busting some balls, but saying that Mexicans and Canadians are not Americans is completely wrong on your part.
If we are all North Americans, are we American-United Statians, then the Natives of Mexico are American-Mexicans, the French in Canada are American-Canadians and the Native American isn't correct because they aren't Mexicans or Canadians, but Native United Statians. Sounds good to me. What can I say?

Wow................Wow. I have seen the term 'Statian' but think it's ridiculous. 'US citizen' seems a little more practical. The term Native American refers to any group of indigenous peoples in the continents of North and South America. Native Americans is correct. Canada has a huge Native American population. South America is packed with Native Americans. Some are still living the same way they always have.
It is tyrannical that they have to poop in the road.
I don't think you know what tyrannical means. Even if someone was forcing Mexican drivers to poop on the road, to use the word tyrannical to describe the abuser of power is to devalue the word.
Actually we in the United States ARE Americans and North Americans. The people of Mexico and Canada are only North Americans, NOT Americans. They are of the NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT, while we are of America, the country. Got that?
South Americans are South Americans. North Americans are North Americans. Central Americans are Central Americans. Canadians are Canadians. Mexicans are Mexicans. Americans are Americans. Venezuelans are Americans. . Columbians are Americans. Kind of destroys the song America. What happened to from sea to shining sea? What's the matter with you? Where are you, in China? Are you Chinese?
