The Amero/North American Union - The world becoming one.

[Elkaa]

As the title says, what are you views on the proposed Amero, or the North American Union.

North American Union
What is the plan? Simple, erase the borders. USA, Canada and Mexico will be joined as one. (Note: This has already started to take effect. New Canadian driving licences contain the NAU logo on them)

Amero
What is the plan? Simple, become like the Euro. Scrap the USD and CAD, and make it into the Amero. (Note: This currency is already in production)

Won't make much difference, just means that the Asian and African countries will then do something similar and we'll just have continents instead of countries. It's probably a reply to Europe, gonna offer up competition which could be good for trade, as competition around you always means you can get better deals

Given the USD is falling at a dramatic rate, I can see them implementing this sooner, rather than later. Currently its received very little publicity, and I only knew about it as I'm studying economics.

If it was to benefit the entire world, they'd of ensured it was public, as they did with Europe.

Won't be long before the entire world trades in the same currency

A rival to the EU then eh?

I'm surprised that they are opening up borders with mexico as they have terrible problems with illegal immigration.

If they open the borders then immigration won't be seen as a problem and they won't have to deal with it ^_^

Well, I think Amero is horrible to prounounce, assuming I'm pronouncing it correctly; "uh-mair-row".

[Corporal]

Whats so bad with keeping them how they are?

ah-mare-o

I think is how you pronounce it...

And this is a great idea for AMERICA, what with the falling value of the dollar and the declining economy due to importation/exportation from china and other rising countries..but Canada and Mexico wise.. I'm not entirely sure it will be the greatest idea for those two countries..

tbh Amero sounds like a cheap rip-off of the Euro. Haha. The USA has the largest economy, but it's starting show cracks (mortgage crisis).

The EU is already looking pretty solid as one bloc atm.

Economies are stronger as they get bigger.
