That is, SPP co-architect ex-Presidente Vicente Fox:
Anyone who cries “black helicopters!” at any mention of the North American Union, the Security and Prosperity Partnership, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, etc., take that!
Maybe he doesn’t come out and say “We want a North American Union like the EU,” but the EU members started out as a free-trade zone, then married their currencies (euro), then married their sovereignty.
I’m just sayin’.

Yeah, but don’t forget those countries are roughly the same size not like the Canada/US thang at ALL.
Canada is being used as a trough from which to draw resources to keep them US and Israeli jets flying AND to provide a nice HUGE bathtub of water for drought-ridden US States. Not like the EU atall.
But we know that, eh??
As I say, who DO they think they are kidding. The calls for the Amero have started in the Globe and Mail up here. Currency harmonization its called. Sigh.
And people wonder WHY Ron Paul has such support. Yeah, right!
BTW, there have been videos shot of V22s in Toronto recently, btw. There supposed to be ONLY in Iraq.

Besides having a common ancestry in the British Empire, US and Canada also have a much different relationship with each other than the US and Canada have with Mexico. Canada relies on the proximity of the US for protection (cuz, let’s face it, Canda’s defenses ain’t great), and we rely on you guys for various commodities.
Mexico relies on us both for someplace to send their working class in order to receive their remittances back — the second largest part of Mexico’s GDP — and their ruling elite needs us to act as a relief valve on their social powder keg, so that they don’t ever have to actually address their internal problems.
Canada-US relations are pretty symbiotic (tho’ IMO, still too entangling). Relations with Mexico for the rest of us, however, are parasitic.
[Note: the V-22 Osprey is a multi-use vertical take-off aircraft that has been in use since the 1980s. While I lack sufficient knowledge of the subject to dispute your comment, it seems counterintuitive that such proven technology (however disputedly so) should be limited to one theatre]
