The SPP provides the framework to ensure that North America is the safest and best place to live and do business. The Partnership is a trilateral effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries through greater cooperation and information-sharing.

That's all well and good, and if that is ALL it was, no one would have their knickers all bunched up.

This AIN'T no NAFTA or even NAFTA-Lite.

What scares a bunch of us is:

"The CFR task force report called for establishment of a common security border perimeter around North America by 2010, along with free movement of people, commerce and capital within North America, facilitated by the development of a North American Border Pass that would replace a U.S. passport for travel between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.'

WHAT PART OF "OPEN BORDERS" DON'T YOU GET OUT OF THIS?

"Also envisioned by the CFR task force report were a North American court, a North American inter-parliamentary group, a North American executive commission, a North American military defense command, a North American customs office and a North American development bank.

IF THAT DOES NOT ADD UP TO A "NORTH AMERICAN UNION," PROPOSAL,THEN THOSE OF US WHO ARE "CONCERNED," MUST BE DISLEXIC, OR JUST PLAIN STUPID--OH YEAH, AND A BUCH OF CONSPIRACY THEORIST, AS "AMISHDUDE" CONTENDS.

Now, it's been a long time since I've gone to the Great White North but for time immemorial you didn't need a passport to go back and forth between the US and Canada, so this would seem to be an improvement, would it not?

AmishDue is an idiot wrapped in a moron. He brings absolutely nothing to the table except childish immature behaviour. Let him retreat back to his playpen so we adults can have an intelligent discussion.
