In my previous installment of this title, I mentioned the N.A.U. (North American Union) and the "amero." Well I've done some more searching. I have found another article about just how little the average Canadian knows about this N.A.U.. In Canadians Completely Unaware of Looming North American Union Keven Parkinson (the author of the article) explains just how little Canadians know about the N.A.U. which disturbs me.
The N.A.U. has been conceived in secrecy and will affect everyone on the North American Continent. Unfortunately, the only nation that will benefit from it right now is the United States. Mostly because their once strong dollar has been failing, allowing doubts to surface about the stability of their economy. Canada will suffer if the debut of the N.A.U. happens within the next three years. Apparently the slated debut of the N.A.U. is in 2010. I'm learning more and more every time I search for more information on this Union.
As a Canadian, I am concerned because the dollar value of goods and services is higher in our country compared to the United States. Not only is the cost of goods and services higher here, the price goes up as you move west in our country. Another thing I am concerned about is what will happen to our health care. Canada is a world leader in providing health care for its citizens, what will the N.A.U. do to that system? Are we going to have to deal with the U.S. system of privatized health care that financially ruins many Americans? Granted our taxes are higher here, but that is for the most part to fund our health care system. Lets not take for granted our access to doctors and lower costs on prescription medications.
If this Union does debut in the next few years, are we going to be forced into the union or are we going to demand it? As of now, with the limited information I have on the subject, I am opposed to it, what about you whats you opinion on the North American Union?

I am only just in the past few days becoming aware of the NAU issue and I suspect that most Americans are just as ignorant as most Canadians at this point. Thanks for calling attention to this important issue.
Yes, the N.A.L. is a well-kept secret in the U.S., too. I don't know how the politicians intend to ram this through. Once word of it hits the fan here, as inevitably it must, a hailstorm of protest will follow that will make the recent political circus of amnesty for illegal aliens look like a Sunday school picnic.
Alan, and Jack Payne, thank you for your comments. If you are interested, I will be posting more articles on the N.A.U. as I continue with my research, I want to be able to bring awareness to this topic. If at some point the voters are called upon to vote for this Union, I would hope that everyone casting a ballet would want to be just as informed as I would like to be.
