Reply #88: I've heard about this "North American Union" idea. "Labor mobility" and "NA preference" are [View All]

euphemisms for a total NA Union, which would include standardized currency for the 3 countries, the "Amero."

I have mixed feelings about this. Having lived in Canada previously and as a frequent visitor now, I know the main difference between US and them is socialized medicine and college, paid for via high sales tax and a quarterly health insurance premium based on salary. That is a BIG difference, though.

Then there's Mexico, where there's a world of difference. Last time I was there, a traffic cop tried a shakedown to get my partner and me to pay bigtime for stopping on the side of the street (in a parking area) to ask for directions. The cop didn't get away with it but Mexico is corrupt and guys like the traffic cop will do anything to make a few bucks on the side.
