This is the afterbirth of NAFTA.....


Has anyone heard about this massive highway being built from Mexico to Canada for the shipping of goods by Mexican truckers?

4 football fields wide....going to be run by a private spanish company named Cintra. Rudy Giuliani is the attorney that got the deal done!

NO inspections of trucks...NO insurance...no idea who the drivers are

Massive new port being built in Mexico to allow larger Chinese ships to drop off goods....cheaper ship yard labor..."no labor unions in Mexico"

There are forces at work in this country that want to turn over our the keys to the kingdom. Wonder why we have never built a wall? Wonder why we have no will to stop ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? Wonder why all the jobs are being exported? Wonder why we sell military secrets to China? THIS IS VERY REAL!

There is NO shared prosperity.

Pass it on please.

God bless America!

The sky has already fallen.

Those filthy truckers are out to get you. If they represent a clear and present danger, why not just kill them all?

And try to ignore RiC - he's already hatching a fiendish invasion plan.

Human Events is not he most reliable magazine in this country.

On the other hand, Farley Mowat had great fun with plans by RiC's country to defend itself against American invasion -- in the 1920's -- by invading the US first.

See the article on Colonel "Buster" Bown's "Defence Scheme No. 1" at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_Scheme_No._1

Brown himself did reconnaissance for the plan, along with other lieutenant-colonels, all in plainclothes. These missions took place from 1921 and 1926. As historian Pierre Berton noted in his book Marching as to War, these investigations had "a zany flavour about it, reminiscent of the silent comedies of the day." To illustrate this, Berton quoted from Brown's reports, in which Brown recorded, among other things, that in Burlington, Vermont the people were "affable" and thus unusual for Americans; that Americans drink significantly less alcohol than Canadians (this was during Prohibition), and that upon pointing out that to Americans one responded "My God! I'd go for a glass of beer. I'm going to 'Canady' to get some more"; that the people of Vermont would only be serious soldiers "if aroused"; and that many Americans might be sympathetic with the British cause.

On the other side, see the American plan, against which Brown was defending, in case war broke out with Great Britain: "War Plan Red", at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Plan_Red

There was also a War Plan "Orange", a plan for war against Japan. Unlike Red, it was serious. Kept up to date, it was followed (approximately) during WW2.

For a more serious plan, see the British preparations to join the American Civil War on the side of the Confederacy; they would have attempted something in 1862, following an incident late in 1861 when a US naval vessel stopped a British steamer and removed two Confederate emissaries to European powers.

I'm a bit more worried about the potential for a unified NAFTA currency.

This is no joke. Do your own research...

OK, so how does a person on the right not see that maybe, perhaps, possibly W. does not have America's best interests at heart? I think it's safe to say that humanevents.com leans to the right:

and yet, the headline is: Bush Administration Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway.
No blaming the left for that one!

A new version of a Made in USA APARTHEID would be fine for some of you. Who knows? You guys might be able to develop a new version to roll back human rights of African Americans and the Native population and put everybody in Reservations! Incredible.

Why is it so difficult to understand that the prosperity of the USA is STRONGLY linked with the prosperity of its neighbours and even other countries in THIS continent???

Thats why I used a conservative website to show the map of the road. A conservative website is exposing President Bush.

This isn't a conservative/liberal issue....Its not a "you guys" argument.

Its an issue of American sovereignty.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereignty

"You guys" in this argument should refer to those "anti-American" entities that are trying to pass these types of projects/ideas off on American citizens/taxpayers.

I merely brought this issue up for all to discuss and research for themselves. It has not been widely publicized and is just a another in a long list of problems such as these.

Use whatever sources you prefer.

Close the airports, close the ports, close the highways, close the internet, close postal delivery too ...

Let's go back and dig our collective heads in the sand!

Personally, I wonder if the Canadians have already taken over American culture.

Where did Peter Jennings and John Candy originate? SCTV and its veterans? Where would be we without Captain Kirk? Or without Donald and Kiefer Sutherland? Diana Krall? Leonard Cohen? Kate and Anna McGarrigle? What piano player matched Glen Gould? Other too numerous (etc...)

Where did they film X-files? How would Michael Moore make a movie if he couldn't drive to Windsor and ask his aunt and uncle for common-sense advice?

How would we know about hosers (and hose-heads) without Bob and Doug McKenzie?

Consider losing....The One and Only Hogs Net?

Don't forget Neil Young.

Don't forget Neil Young

Lynard Skynard neutralized him, so, no worries... It's safe to listen without fear...

Don't let it bring you down,
It's only castles burning,
So find some one who's yearning,
and you wil come around....

For you I would have said Celine Dion.

For whatever it's worth, the state of Texas has been floating ideas to widen I-35 for a few years. It is the only connection from Dallas to Waco/Temple/Killeen to Austin to San Antonio.

Austin and San Antonio are both growing, and a lot of people commute. (Wow, I saw a drive-through Starbucks on I-35). Some sensible people have even talked about building a high-speed rail line from San Antonio to Dallas, something like the Boston/Washington corrider.

No one, at least none that I've talked with, mentioned a truck-way from Mexico to Canada. Super-highways are massively wide (compare I-95 to the Eastern Corridor), but if this thing wanders too far, it runs the risk of flattening George B's ranch, or brushing against the world's largest military base.

I think the original story is a little overboard, and much of it is fantasy based on road improvements that Texas wants to do to help the Texas economy.

Of course, those sly Canadians might be intending to make another stab down Lake Champlain to the Hudson and on to Manhattan. Probably worth watching, eh?

Dear RIC,

The last time I was in a strip bar at Mt. Tremblant, a waitress refused to bring me a beer because I didn't have tundra stains on my pants. What's with the anti-American attitude? I thought we were buddies.

Actually, RIC.

I am 100% in agreement with you about the necessity of supporting one's neighboring countries to the extent possible. Too many people forget what happens to countries or classes of people who are content to leave others in poverty or need. We have too many yahoos in this country who think we are strong enough to make enemies.

Where there are inequities, or even different levels of prosperity, there is always crime, then revolt, or war, or economic retaliation of some kind; unless we help expand the sphere of prosperity, we'll lose jobs, or our lives, and then everything.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

I like the bypassing the Longshoreman and Teamsters unions.

While the story sounds pretty fishy, I don't see an issue with having a transportation system so much as what it's used for. Though if they really do complete it increasing access to this country for America hating Cree-tons and Canuck-leheads is a little scary.

Jokes aside, note I'm not saying I'm actually for it for those who tend to miss those things. I'd just like a better idea what they are going to do with it.
