Judging from the subject you used I would say your question is not really a question. Am I right?

JonathanClement · 16th June 2008, 07:34 PM

No, it's a question. I'm just asking what the guy in the video is talking about.

So if you don't know, why did you choose to name your subject what you did?

Didn't say you were a truther. I just find it odd that you ask something that apparently you write about in your subject. What exactly is the answer you want? That is a trick I learned from Michael Reagan

I know the highway is not actually happening; but I have never managed to work out why governments planning new transport links is EVIL. I always assumed it was one of the things that governments did.

It's where all the Mexicans and Canadians will come up and down and steal our jobs. Like Ron Paul says "trade not invade, except for trade with Canada and Mexico."

Slayhamlet · 16th June 2008, 08:57 PM

In one sense, the "NAFTA Superhighway" already exists. It's just not anything at all like what the CTs claim.

Here's a pretty good article in The Nation about it.

Of course, it's just a inspiring name made up by some speech writer but it yanked all the paranoia chains in the Ron Paul and Alex Jones types.

fullflavormenthol · 16th June 2008, 09:08 PM

I don't understand why it is seen as a bad thing to link Canada, the United States, and Mexico with an easy to travel highway system? It is going to have to happen eventually. Why the fear of it?

Yeah, that's us.

We've just been preoccupied with hockey and curling and stuff for the past 200 years to bother, even with virtually unfettered access to your country, but we'll get around to it just as soon as that "superhighway" opens up, for sure.

I've asked this many times and as nears as I can tell their reasons are that people from foreign nations are "bad" and making it easier for those "bad" people to interact with us "good" people is "evil."

Also the government is behind it so that makes it "evil" as well.

He's talking about a road, the possibility of which I don't think has ever been denied.

What has been denied are:
1. That completion of the road is a foregone conclusion, regardless of politics
2. That it is necessarily a bad thing
3. That US will lose its sovereignty because of the road
4. That this has all been nefariously planned out by Rockefellers/j00z/Illuminati/Freemasons/NWO, rather than being a legitimate political proposal.

Psssst... there is already an easy to travel highway ststem between the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Hell, just look at the license plates in Florida and Arizona every winter, you'd swear half the population of Canada winters in those states.

Praktik · 17th June 2008, 09:23 AM

The NAFTA superhighway thing is a complete red herring, borne of far-right Texan talk-radio up in arms over the idea of a (shudder) foreign company building a major north-south highway through the state... Add in some easier regulations for Mexican truckers and its Reconqista all over again.

What's saddest is that this hyperbole - originating from the height of xenophobic paranoia - has found a home among many who consider themselves the furthest thing from xenophobes...

Sure its in another thread, but this piece in The Nation is great...

Another piece of info I point out to my fellow NWO-is-here type Canukistanis is that close to three quarters of Canada's trade (import and export) is with America. CN Railways started reorienting their rail links north-south instead of east-west a long time ago - but to the best of my knowledge, this was never jumped on as a sign of impending American takeover by anybody. After all - isn't it natural to orient your trade routes along the paths on which most of that trade occurs?

I wonder how many conspiracy theories were started in Britain after the Chunnel was announced...

See? Curling! Proof of evil right there!

Donal · 17th June 2008, 03:14 PM

There are already several highways that reach from our Northern border to the Southern. I don't see the point to one giant super highway. Of course, other than a colossal waste of time and resources, I don't see it as evil either.

Only Interstates 5 and 15 connect Mexico to Canada for the moment although Interstates 25 and 35 come close. Interstate 69 is planned to connect Detroit with southern Texas and it is called the NAFTA Interstate. It will connect several large cities along its route so I don't think it will be a waste but will enable greater commerce.

How this will enable our enslavement is beyond me.

leftysergeant · 17th June 2008, 04:14 PM

I only have a problem with it if it is a privately-owned toll road, in which case, they should have no right to condemn property to build it. If it just another give-away to the foreign developers that have been scamming states into selling their highway systems, it should be stopped right now. The problem of unsafe Mexican trucks could be handled nicely by the imposition of regulations to bring them up to our safety standards, and the wages paid to the drivers up to our minimum wage. Sure would blow away any profit in allowing them in here to compete with American drivers, wouldn't it?

I have to wonder about the self-descrivbed Libertarians who are in a tizzy overe this. seems like it could be the kind of thing they could get behind.

George W. Bush has been a fine promoter of American immigration to Canada - if i remember correctly, the numbers spiked especially after his re-election, mostly liberals and I guess the odd medical marijuana patient trying to claim refugee status..

That's fine by me, I've always been one to share my stash anyhow...
