Please help us in the US

[marygarrott]

We are in such serious trouble here...and all over the world. Please help Canadians wake up. We are trying to help Americans wake up. Don't know how to reach you in another country. The bankers, the Fed are taking over our country and then we will all be part of one North American Union: Canada, U.S. and Mexico. Read the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.

Is anyone there savvy?

Please help in your country to stop the Rockefellers and the New World Order.

 

[Icarus27k]

I really... don't think that's going to happen.

 

[Ron in Regina]

Interesting. This subject isn't new here. You'll find many both in agreement
with your concerns, and many that aren't on the same page as yourself. :lol:

On that note, Welcome to Canadian Content Forums Mary.

 

[gerryh]

Hey Beav..... you have a soul mate.

 

[lone wolf]

We'll just get right on that....

Welcome aboard. Do you give good directions?

 

[Curiosity]

Dear Mary

Just as soon as the government of the U.S. finds what to do about it's own business....which should be in about 50 years....

Call Obama, he seems to know everything, especially how to destroy a country from within.

I wouldn't worry about the NAU..... for the US, Canada or Mexico to join into such an idea, they're going to need the overwhelming support/approval of the people.... ie: a Referendum.

If any of our politicians tried to pull a stunt like merging us all into one giant Union without approval or some sort of consent from the citizens, All hell would break loose for more reasons then one..... and that hell wouldn't be something any country could control.

It makes for a good story and maybe a movie, but in reality, I doubt there's much to worry about.

Actually, the present socialist government of Hussain Obama would probably welcome an idea, such as North American Union, including Canada and Mexico.

With Canada's and Mexico's left-wing populations, the DEmocrats would be in power forever.

An interesting theory, but still extremely unlikely.

As mentioned before, even if our leaders thought it's a good idea, Even if Obama and Harper thought it was a wonderful idea, it's not only something they can't just implement over night with the snap of a finger, but a large decision such as this being made behind our backs (US, Canada & Mexico) and done without any input from the people..... they will not only commit political suicide, but if you thought the Tea Party protests and division was bad now in the US.... just imagine what level it would escalate to if this was done.... and I would imagine that would expand in Mexico and Canada in various forms.

It would simply cause more problems then the NAU would solve and if our leaders have half a brain amongst themselves collectively, they'd know this.

By then you'll be kicking back, having a Foster's, and cooking shrimp on the barbee in the Outback.

Indeed, which is why in any case, I personally don't care what happens, lol.

Then again, I'll still be a dual citizen and for the next couple of years, still a citizen of Canada and only a resident of Australia.... not to mention have family here in the country who would be affected by such an idea, so to a degree, it could/would still matter to me.

However, since I still think such an idea is highly improbable, I see no real need in worrying about it actually happening.

Mexico, US and Canada would have plenty of issues with sharing resources and wealth with each other, since it would disadvantage one or the other nation.... laws & rights differ in Canada compared to the US, and vice versa.... Mexico's laws and rights differ even more.

Canada would have issue with US's easier access to our oil, water, lumber resources, etc.... Mexico would have issue with the US and possibly Canada cracking down on their drug trade and existing laws..... the US would have issue with Mexico and Canada getting involved in their rights to firearms..... We'd be more pressured into getting involved in wars the US wants to start, while at the same time, the US would have difficulty in starting wars and getting support because they'd need more support/approval from Mexico and Canada.

Abortion, Same Sex Marriage, Religion, Security.....

Simply put.... Mexico, Canada and the US, while having some similarities in culture and way of life, overall, there's just way too many differing beliefs, differing governments, laws, rights, etc. for something like the NAU to ever be functional in any realistic manner.

And if it ever came to decisions that are to be applied to all of the NAU, democratically speaking, the US would have the largest population, therefore, almost all decisions to be made would be determined by the US due to majority rule..... Mexico has the second highest population and Canada is dead last.

United States: 307,006,550 - Jul 2009
Mexico: 106,350,434 - 2008
Canada: 33,311,400 - 2008

So even if Mexico and Canada joined together against a proposal, we still wouldn't have enough votes to over rule the US.

And what's worse.... Canada alone wouldn't have much say in anything due to our population. Mexico alone has enough people to dictate what happens in our country.

Basically all it'd be is just a Bigger United States, and we'd all end up adopting their way of life in the end.

If I wanted the US way of life, I would have moved there long ago..... no offense... it's just not for me.

You pretty much have already save for political proceedings. I bet you won't notice much of a difference between Canada and Australia either.

Whenever I took the family to Disney World there were always Canadians and I'd be darned if I could tell the difference as we chilled out by the pool and our kids played.

Yeah really, the only way I ever notice an American up this way is if I talk to one...

I always think they're from Minnesota. I was good pals with a Marine from MN and he sounds EXACTLY like a Canadian...complete with the "eh".

the "eh" thing really isn't a broad Canadian thing, I never hear it in Toronto. :smile:

Even within Canada, you'll find different accent.

When I think of Minnesota accents I think of the movie "Fargo"

That's what he sounded like! Only Fargo was set in N. Dakota I think.

Socializing with others is one thing, talking about the typical everyday problems with raising kids or their interest in Disney, etc. are pretty universal no matter where you live for the most part.

The differences that really matter are laws, rights, government, etc..... and the key differences between the US and Canada stem from the differences in those things.... ie: Same Sex Marriage, Abortion, Gun Rights, Health Care, etc.... all of these things have differing affects on an individuals personal beliefs in certain things and affects on how they live their lives overall.

Sure, entertainment-wise, the things that interest you and I, as well as interest the children in our nations are pretty much the same.... same music, same movies, tv shows, etc...... but those things are also virtually identical to people in the UK, Australia, and other nations around the world with similar cultures.

But in regards to the differences between Canada and Australia in the above.... we're technically closer to similarities with Australia then with the US.

Their currency is practically on par with our own and has been for quite a while, their government is the same style government as our own, their health care system is very similar to our own, their total population is almost the same as ours in comparison to the US's population, their views on gun ownership is almost the same.... and environmentally speaking, both our nations have a large swath of land area that is very harsh for living, where most of their population is positioned along/around the edges of the nation.

Besides driving on the other side of the road, them being equally as hot as we are cold, and their currency being made from plastic bills rather then paper, there's not much different between Australia and Canada.

Neither of us fought a war with England to gain our independence, we're both still a part of the commonwealth.... and the rest of the world looks at both of us like we're stereo-typical jokes..... with our cultures and our accents..... not to mention the oddities we call animals in our lands.

Yeah, not too many people around here say Eh much either..... heck just in Nova Scotia, my wife can tell the differences in accent from the south shore, central NS, the highlands and the Cape Breton region alone.... but she noticed that the standard stereo-typical Canadian accent that uses Eh and overly pronounced "O's" is more towards Western Canada.... say the Prairies.

Then you have Newfoundland accents, Quebec Accents, New Brunswick accents which are in between Quebec and NS accents..... Ontario, Prairies, Native, BC, etc... plus immigrated accents.... I don't think there is one standard accent for Canadians anymore.... unless you count the Stoner Accent where when any Canadian who smokes pot all get the same accent of being Reeaaally slOw eh and like, tOtally talking as if they tOok a puck tO tha head, ya knOw? :canada:

 

[darkbeaver]

Hey Beav..... you have a soul mate.

Splendiferous! Those who doubt a new world order should pluck their heads from the sand it's already a done deal you've been watching the total destruction of nations in the east and enduring impoverishment here at home, a steady incremental erosion of wealth and power all flowing to the top of the human food chain, it always does before the **** hits the war fan, us common types are expendable, especially now that your money and future is gone.
Conspiracy nut you say, empty headed cheezeburger eating twit I reply as I watch London and New York burning on the telly.
