It is not going to happen. Read the Bank of Canada's statement in post 37. Thank you.

Ivan:
You are probably right that it will never happen, but I think the larger question is how this topic ever got to the point that Bush wasted time attending a discussion on the subject.
His advisors should have shut the door on the idea long before it got to a meeting with Mexico and Canada.
A war in Iraq, crazies all over the world that want to kill us, borders that anyone can cross and bring whatever he wants into the country and this is the topic of conversation?
Come to think of it, what are we doing talking about it.
Except that we should find out who in our government let it get to Bush's desk and kick his butt.
I think we're forgetting that "Bullshit, thy name is government". How many summits can you name that actually discussed anything relevant, achieved anything, or did anything that one remembered? I dare say the last time that happened was when Reagan was in the White House and he was talking to the Soviets about nuclear weapons.
It's a silly, pointless idea, which the brains at the Bank of Canada say is going nowhere particularly because America won't wear it.
Except that we should find out who in our government let it get to Bush's desk and kick his butt.
By all means.

I didn't say it was going to happen. My only point was that there is nothing good in it for us if it did.
Sorry, I didn't ping you to the official statement at #54. I didn't get a chance to ask for your approval.
On Coast we learned that twenty years ago the military had an airplane that could go from Hawaii to Californian in 15 minutes. When the airplane didn't appear after 20 minutes they began to worry but a call came in, "It's down in Texas--mechanical malfunction."
Of course, if your country's currency is an international joke, using the dollar does make you look better instantly.
I don't see Canada giving up their currency any time soon.

The funny thing is that much of Mexico already uses the dollar. It may end up a common currency by default. This will be a good thing if it happens on its' own, the result of market forces rather than governmental interference. Of course at some point there will have to be official governmental action, but the more these things happen on there own, the better.
Calling me a communist is the very same hyperbole, if not worse, that you accuse me of proliferating.
As for the rest of your vomitous post, do you actually think, or do you just read and recite pamphlets you get on the street?
Ivan
What do you call an idiot who says something idiotic?
Strange, that.
Ivan
Your post #68 was ignorant and makes you sound unintelligent.
There? Their? They're? The Principle of Evolution has survived communism and it will survive all of us. Watch.
There is without a doubt forces that have political and economic power wishing to move toward regionalization. The European Union was met with disbelief and resistance, but the pressure is steady and unrelenting.
I see some groundwork being laid for the same push in our part of the world, and there is no lack of statements by leaders, seemingly growing in numbers, that have outright proclaimed immanent globalization, for which regionalization is necessary.
I wouldn't just dismiss this as hot air, if I were you. You may just wake up one morning and find yourself a minor character in a science fiction story of a futuristic, abusive global government.
By the way, I hope you're right, but I put nothing pass the human need fro control, power, wealth and world domination. The latter having been tried a number of times in history.
...also they try to DISTRACT with "these people are not living in the real world". It was a good thing that when the ride of Paul Revere occurred, there were people that did not think that they were 'kooks' so that they could prepare for the British.
It is not happening and the folks at the Bank of Canada are absolutely correct. Getting bent out of shape every time some academic or bureaucrat talks out the side of their mouth is a recipe for an ulcer or requiring medication.

See that. You picked up on my 'there' there. Good for you. You can read but I can not type. Youve one!
