The deal is an effort by Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern to capitalize on an expected increase in the flow of trade as the three countries rebound from the pandemic. Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern announced plans on Sunday to combine in a $29 billion deal that would create the first railroad network connecting the United States, Mexico and Canada. It is an effort to capitalize on the trade flows expected to run through the three countries after President Donald J. Trump signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement into law last year. It’s also a bet on the strength...

America’s highway system, once a symbol of freedom and mobility envied the world over, is crumbling physically and financially, the potentially disastrous consequence of a politically driven road-building binge. President Barack Obama, state transportation officials, civil engineers, road builders and business groups all say that the country needs to invest trillions of dollars in its infrastructure, yet there’s little consensus on how to finance it or what the most pressing needs are. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the country needs $14 billion in additional federal funds each year just to maintain highways and $50 billion more to improve them....

The remarkable journey of a green turtle from Indonesia into Australian waters is helping conservationists to track the migratory route of this species to the Kimberley-Pilbara coast - one of the few relatively pristine coastal areas left on Earth. Ana, a female green turtle, was tagged in Indonesia in November as part of a turtle tracking project by WWF and Udayana University in Bali, Indonesia, and has slowly made her way from a nesting beach in East Java, across the Indian Ocean, and is on track for the beaches of the Kimberley in Western Australia. Her journey, monitored online by...

While facets of a proposed NAFTA Superhighway may indeed fall within the myth category, the idea is not really a laughing matter. Certainly, anything that prompts 43 congressmen, including three presidential candidates, to co-sponsor a resolution decrying it must have a grain of truth to it. History is replete with examples of far-fetched notions -- like putting a man on the moon -- turning into reality. And the idea of seamless travel encompassing the United States, Mexico and Canada is anything but fanciful. Inquiries about the NAFTA Superhighway have taken on a life of their own. Congressmen are hearing about...

The People's Republic of China, long lauded by America's enemies as the world's next economic power, will be the country that will force the creation of the `North American Union' (NAU). Kofi Annan's former pointman, Canadian Maurice Strong, has been boasting from Chinese soil that China soon would be replacing America as economic king, using the jingo that's the official language at Turtle Bay. The billions of dollars China has invested in the flagging American economy will be worthless. They will have to negotiate the exchange rate to the new amero. This will then force the creation of the North...

Two provinces, Manitoba through its Speech from the Throne, and Alberta, through a map of NAFTA Trade Corridors have provided strong evidence that there are plans for a NAFTA Superhighway, or Mid-Continent Trade Corridor. President Bush and Prime Minister Harper dismissed this idea after the Montebello meeting as comparable to planning an "interplanetary" superhighway or a scare tactic whereby a "conspiracy" is laid out. There is no conspiracy. Plans are going forward. This question is as yet unanswered: does what now recognized as reality stands alone or is part of a wider plan? The one Former Mexican President Fox...

"Super Corridor" will pave over the heart of America. ___ While the cat has been away in Iraq, the mice have been at play here in the United States. More like rats than mice, actually, they've set up one of the worst traps in American history. And we are all about to drive right into it. The latest rat trap goes by the vaguely pornographic name Interstate 69. I-69 is a massive superhighway that already extends from Ontario to Indianapolis (through Michigan). There are plans to resume construction next spring and push it through southern Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas,...

WASHINGTON – The next giant step toward world government will be integration of the U.S., Canada and Mexico in European Union-style merger in the next few years, says the author of a best-selling book on the power of shadowy international organizations promoting the move. "I would say [it's just] a couple of years away," reports Daniel Estulin, author of "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group."Estulin, a Canadian now living in Europe, says the original plans for a North American Union involved the U.S. and Canada as the prime participants. It was motivated primarily by the desire to harvest Canada's...

.......the federal government is currently working on the development and construction of a NAFTA Super Highway that could be as wide as four football fields (that is 400 yards) that will basically follow Interstate 35 from the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas, to the Canadian border just north of Duluth, Minnesota. At first glance some might say this is a good thing because we do need to develop the infrastructure of the U.S. But, the purpose behind the Super Highway is not necessarily to benefit the U.S., but rather to benefit all countries involved in NAFTA. I should mention one...

This is a podcast with my good friend the Trucker Doc (Sheryl Youngblood) and myself. Sheryl and I discuss the Great Plains International Conference, which I attended in September 2007 as a member of the press -- one of the very few invited. Although this conference was funded by taxpayers, it was a private conference to rally those who support of the NAFTA Superhighways. Sheryl asks probing questions to get my thoughts on the conference. Take a listen for yourself and determine how you feel when you hear that attendees were laughing about the devaluation of the dollar against the...

State Sen. Randy Brogdon, R-Owasso, said Friday that the so-called "NAFTA Superhighway" is "close to reality" and is being built for "transporting goods and people from Mexico and China." Brogdon made the remarks during a news conference at Tulsa International Airport for the Oklahomans for Sovereignty and Free Enterprise conference being held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Renaissance Hotel, 6808 S. 107th East Ave. The organization, which uses the acronym OK-SAFE, believes that the Bush administration and business interests are conspiring to effectively merge the United States, Mexico and Canada by lowering or eliminating trade barriers...

Question: Is China’s plane to buy up the USA, bring in its Billions of people to further corrupt our voting system, so that the USA becomes a Chinese puppet? What will China due with all the money it is making, selling the USA its junk? So far it making big real estate purchases in California. One reason housing is so expensive. They are not BUYING American products, but are stealing our trade secrets. What will happen when they own ALL MANUFACTURING? Why else do they need all those SUPER HIGHWAYS? Seems that it all one way. Buy buying nothing and...

North America's SuperCorridor Coalition, Inc., or NASCO, has figured out a way to cash in on the Chinese containers passing along the NAFTA Superhighway from the Mexican ports of Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas to U.S. and Canadian destinations. WND has obtained a copy of a draft preliminary joint venture contract between Savi Networks and NASCO, specifying that NASCO will get paid 25 cents for each "revenue-generating intermodal ocean cargo container" that is registered by the RFID sensors the Communist Chinese are now installing along Interstate 35.

An agreement announced by Transport Canada last month advances toward reality the massive planning that has been done to develop the NAFTA Superhighway in Canada. A July 30 press release on the website of Transport Canada, the Canadian government's counterpart to the U.S. Department of Transportation, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding, or MOU, between the governments of Canada and the provinces of Ontario and Quebec to develop the "Continental Gateway and Trade Corridor." The memorandum noted Ontario and Quebec are "vital contributors to the Canadian economy representing approximately 60 percent of Canada's exports and gross domestic product."...

WASHINGTON: Some Mexican trucks will be allowed to carry cargo anywhere in the United States as soon as a U.S. inspector general certifies safety and inspection plans, the administration of President George W. Bush announced Friday. The latest step toward implementing a controversial provision of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement drew instant condemnation from labor and driver-owner groups that fear the program will erode highway safety and eliminate U.S. jobs. The decision was announced by a Transportation Department notice in the Federal Register, a daily compendium of new federal rules read mostly by lobbyists and lawyers. A one-year...

Some say it's part of a plan to create one nation in North America AUSTIN — Black helicopters, the Illuminati, Gov. Rick Perry and the Trans-Texas Corridor are all now part of the vernacular of the global domination conspiracy theorists. Perry's push for the Trans-Texas Corridor super highway is part of a secret plan, the conspiracy theorists say, to create the North American Union — a single nation consisting of Canada, Mexico and the United States with a currency called the Amero. Government denials of the North American Union and descriptions of it as a myth seem to add fuel...

Radio sensing stations to track traffic and cargo up and down the I-35 NAFTA Superhighway corridor are being installed by Communist China, operating through a port operator subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa, in conjunction with Lockheed Martin and the North America's SuperCorridor Coalition, Inc. The idea is that RFID chips placed in containers where manufactured goods are shipped from China will be able to be tracked to the Mexican ports on the Pacific where the containers are unloaded onto Mexican trucks and trains for transportation on the I-35 NAFTA Superhighway to destinations within the United States. NASCO, a trade association based...

When completed, the highway will run from Mexico City to Toronto, slicing through the heartland like a dagger sunk into a heifer at the loins and pulled clean to the throat. It will be four football fields wide, an expansive gully of concrete, noise and exhaust, swelled with cars, trucks, trains and pipelines carrying water, wires and God knows what else. Through towns large and small it will run, plowing under family farms, subdevelopments, acres of wilderness. Equipped with high-tech electronic customs monitors, freight from China, offloaded into nonunionized Mexican ports, will travel north, crossing the border with nary a...
