Every time a U.S. president runs next door, or when the neighbours come over, this spectre of paranoia jumps out.
Sure, they're will be trade pacts, security agreements, and more put in place. They're our neighbours, and as a self respecting, confident nation we can and should have those agreements in place with friends and neighbours. Their benefit and ours, and all that. But union, in some sort of shared soverign sense? I really don't see a lot of non internet conspiracy type evidence that this is on the plate of anybody who matters.
So nice of you, Harper, and Canada to take our illegals off from our hands! When their numbers reach critical mass in Canada the NAU will be a moot point.
Refugees pose 'potential crisis'The Windsor Star Published: Wednesday, September 19, 2007

"When there is a possibility of adding thousands to the local social assistance system as a result of refugee claimants crossing the border into Windsor, we will become overwhelmed and our current resources will not suffice," Francis wrote in a letter sent Wednesday to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Over the past three weeks, 45 families and 31 individuals -- approximately 200 people -- entered Canada at the Detroit River crossings and applied in Windsor for shelter and social assistance after filing refugee claims with the Canada Border Services Agency. Municipal agencies dealing with the sudden influx of mainly Mexican refugee applicants are renting out hotel rooms and bracing for predicted thousands more to come.
