Did you read my post 37 which had a paper discussing this topic from the Bank of Canada? It was also linked. They said it is not happening because America doesn't want it, and totally refuses to give up control of their currency.

That is the beginning, the middle and the end of it.

Now either you're going to accept it or you're going to continue to be mindless.

I actually did some searching about the Amero. Here is what the Bank of Canada has to say:

Though there are many other kinds of commodity convertibility, these are, as noted earlier (footnote 3) complicated and hence hard to explain to the public at large. That is one reason why all recent proposals for reforming Canada's monetary order that envisage replacing inflation targets with a system underpinned by convertibility rest, not on a commodity of any sort, but on either a brand new North American currency or the U.S. dollar. Given the Americans' total lack of interest in giving up a shred of control over their own currency, let alone abandoning it for something else, the only proposals among these that are practically possible are those involving either the outright unilateral adoption by Canada of the U.S. dollar as its currency, or the creation of a new Canadian currency linked to the U.S. dollar by way of a currency board.

Kooks like you can "talk to the hand".

This piece that you posted in #37 is ambiguous at best.
