Trinational Call for a North American Economic and Security Community by 2010
Council on Foreign Relations ^ | March 14, 2005 | Unknown

March 14, 2005-Three former high-ranking government officials from Canada, Mexico, and the United States are calling for a North American economic and security community by 2010 to address shared security threats, challenges to competitiveness, and interest in broad-based development across the three countries.

Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance John P. Manley, former Finance Minister of Mexico Pedro Aspe, and former Governor of Massachusetts and Assistant U.S. Attorney General William F. Weld make policy recommendations to articulate a long-term vision for North America in a Chairmen's Statement of the Independent Task Force on the Future of North America sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations in association with the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales and the Canadian Council of Chief Executives.

Chief Executive of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives Thomas d'Aquino, President of the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales Andres Rozental, and Director of the Center for North American Studies at American University Robert A. Pastor serve as vice chairs of the Task Force. Chappell H. Lawson, associate professor of political science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the director.

The statement was released in Washington, DC today in advance of the upcoming North American Summit on March 23 in Texas with President Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, and Mexican President Vicente Fox. It reflects the consensus of the chairs and vice chairs. In the spring, the Task Force will release its complete report, which will assess the results of the Texas summit and reflect the views of the full membership.

Like getting married to someone you can't trust, don't have a lot in common with and when you get down to the facts really don't like all that much anyway.

The US has always led or been near the lead in these transnational agencies. A supranational State seems to be the goal. Whether they will ever get to the point of World Gov't or even a world State is debateable.

Something to watch for: every time there is a declaration of rights of some kind, human rights, civil rights, natural rights, the State has automatically with that declaration incorporated another grouping of individuals into the apparatus of the State.

Great!

We're in a one sided hot war with Mexico and a one sided cold war with Canada. At least our own government is rife with treason.

Whatever happened to National Sovereignty? Didn't we fight a revolution for just that?

I think its a great idea, providing of course that Canada promptly scrap all its laws and leaders, and adopts the US Constitution verbatim, oh, and Mexico does the same.

Short of that, forget it.

The US Constitution, with it's checks and balances, is antithetical to their aims.

And just because they think that the United States should be eliminated, we should all go along with them?

Seems that this whole scheme is being discussed everywhere but here, in the states.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Apparently, it's time to water the tree again.
