It's hard to fuck a highway and union that don't exist. There's a word for fucking something in your mind. It's "masturbation."

Yes, but as it has nothing to do with a "North American Union" or a "NAFTA Superhighway," it's irrelevant and off-topic.

The NAU is fictitious tinfoil claptrap.

The highway is hype about roads that already exist combined with some international trucking agreements.

the reason why i asked was that it addressed it's involvement in the Nafta "super highway" in it's page " myths and facts" and explains their take on it. it's interesting is all. but i guess it must be off topic.

Our governor is a big supporter of this. There were plans to go ahead with Texas' portion of the highway, but he face STEEP opposition from everyone. Some parts of it are good such as the routing of I-35 around the major cities, but I don't want the whole thing.

There was also the issue of Mexican trucks being allowed to pass through which is wrong on so many levels.

I recall a Nova Scotia diesel bear at the Amherst scale, telling of sending the RCMP after a truck that blew by their scale.

Mexican truck. No authority to run in Canada or the US. The truck was impounded overloaded and unfit/unsafe. The drivers spoke no english and had no log-books. The only thing, that the bears and mounties could establish was that they crossed at Laredo and at Houlton Maine. Brings a whole new meaning to being lost in america.

That was about 1995.

[Ruxpercnd]

The whole point of the NAFTA excercise is to make your Mexican Trucker legal, from Guatamala to Alaska by way of Canada.

You can drive yur truck in Mexico .... I recommend a .50 cal machine gun mounted in a stand up hole in the cab for the guy riding shotgun.

I'd have thought that might be the case at one time but after having spent the last few weeks in meetings and planning discussions that involved clients with production facilities based in Mexico and offices in San Antonio, Austin and Farmers Branch (that's a Dallas suberb) Texas, they insist that this highway is going to become a reality within the next few years. It was a key part of the basis for our meetings. So much so that they're investing a substanitally large commitment to expansion of their facilities into the Kansas City area.

That isn't a "NAFTA superhighway," that's a regular highway that happens to run up to the borders. All of the BS claptrap conspiracy theory tinfoil whackjob "NAFTA Superhighway" rumors include 12918398 lane highways cutting the country in half like some kind of gigantic concrete moat with crazed mexican truckers driving deathtrap trucks in without ever being inspected and harming the children!!!!eleeventy!!

Ignorant isn't any way to go through life son.
But of course I'm sure you have more intimate knowledge of a situation involving Texans than actual business leaders from there.
Let's see, who do I believe, an internet assclown or Texan business leaders that are planning their company's future based on that highway being a real viable corridor to move their products from production to consumers.
Tough decision I tells you.

As for the Mexican truckers, perhaps you missed it Mr Benson.
They were already let in for a test run.

But then the funding was pulled from it after it was determined that the Mexicans couldn't be counted on to operate in accordance to meet USDot standards and rules.

http://www.landlinemag.com/Special_Repo ... unding.htm

NAFTA was supposed to have opened up Mexican trucking into the US, but - like the softwood lumber agreement - the US has been flouting the original agreement. The Mexicans have been fighting for over a decade over this issue.

Of course, there is a corridor being built in Texas, but that is different than a "Superhighway" as part of some grand design to subjugate the democratic will of three nations that is part of a wide-ranging conspiracy usurping the sovereignty of all the countries.

Finally, what never made sense to me was was it would be extended to Winnipeg?

Major distribution nodes in transportation networks generally are not built in sparsely populated areas.

It makes sense, if you remember the new container terminal in Prince Rupert, and increased containers in Churchill. Winnipeg is at the other end of Highway 16 from Prince Rupert, and there is a large push to make the North West Trade Corridor a 'player'.

Add to that the Ontairo/Quebec trade corridor announcements:

http://www.tc.gc.ca/mediaroom/releases/ ... -h141e.htm

and the Atlantic Gateway announcements:

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/0712 ... miers_meet

That makes Winnipeg the centre for container traffic from both Asia and Europe. All 3 coasts will be linked to the US and Mexico.

Being a 'theory' doesn't make it false. Having proof no longer makes it a 'theory', but 'real'.

So, Churchill MB and Prince Rupert BC are major metropolitan areas?
