[edit] As on the United States of Europe discussion page
If there is going to be such a union, hopefully they can come up with a more original name.

[edit] This will not go over well for Canada
To have all it's fresh water and huge resources grabbed to fuel the power hungry U.S. Oh Canada... when this Union happens, i'll feel sorry for you :(

[edit] NPOV tag
The related article "North American Union" was previously deleted after being inaccurately characterized as a hoax/conspiracy theory in its AFD debate. While it is true that some WP editors did add questionable or biased material to the article, it is a very real proposal which does merit a properly-written article. The key here is to keep the fact and the fiction separated, not to falsely characterize the whole thing as fiction. Accordingly, I'm going to list this for NPOV review to ensure that the article sticks to the relevant and verifiable facts. Bearcat 22:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
There is an awful lot of use of the passive voice: "has been suggested", "this is seen as", etc. I think we would do better to replace these by references to who exactly says so. Tom Harrison Talk 22:50, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
North American Union is the only topic I've searched at Wikipedia that was deleted and locked.
I find it strange that a topic COULD be locked in that way. I don't know the history and didn't see the entries that caused it to be locked, as even the discussion was deleted and locked--wtf is up with that?--stopping discussion? On the surface, it makes it appear that a conspiracy exists to prevent there being a North American Union entry.
My experience with Wikipedia is limited, but my understanding is that if someone finds inacurate information, they can correct it. I fail to see the purpose in deleting and locking a topic, and I will be very concerned if this happens again. Thorson 04:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I was also surprised that a topic like this could be deleted and locked. There are other stories on hoaxes or on proposals that will probably never happen. Who locked it, and where is his explanation? This is very strange. Roger 08:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- The AFD debate inaccurately characterized the topic as a conspiracy theory rather than the reality, which is that a few people had added some POV or conspiracist elements to an article about a genuine policy proposal. It wasn't particularly about judging the likelihood of the proposal coming to fruition or not; it was inaccurately described as a nonexistent proposal to begin with.

[edit] It is real.
Lou Dobbs on CNN has reported on this many times. Just do a search for "North American Union" on YouTube to watch his reports.
Is a real fact that is being pumped by many entrepreneur leaders as well as politicians all over North America with tangible actions like the SPP. Kardrak 07:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Since most of what Lou Dobbs talks about on CNN is absolute twaddle, the fact that he believes in it is more like confirmation that there is no such thing.
