I gave you the wrong article. I am looking for the one on CFR that tells how Bush, Fox and Canada made an agreement to more or less eliminate the borders as we know them. Damn, I can't find it. I will keep looking.
Anyway, how can the politicians be so stupid. If you and I believe we know the ramifications of globalization (and I don't know about you but I am NO rocket scientist) how can they not know. It is very discouraging. I do believe we will be a third world country waiting for China to take over.
Canada seems to be going in the opposite direction lately. If there's going to be a merger expect it to be between the US and Mexico. We have very little historical ties to that country other than being a neighbor but there's just too much cheap labor down there for the big corporations to ignore. And they have lots of oil.
