North American Union
From RationalWiki
The North American Union, or NAU, is a theoretical (specifically, conspiracy theoretical) union of Canada, the US, and Mexico in an EU-style oppressive Satanic theocracy as a precursor to one-world government and the New World Order. Gay marriage will abound, dogs and cats will live together, and Real True Patriots will be thrown into FEMA concentration camps.
The NAU will be brought into existence with the assistance of unusually wide highways[1] and badly named currencies.
In spite of the fact that it's an utterly stupid idea that would never be agreed to by any of the proposed member countries, the NAU is a popular right-wing boogeyman, and the theory is a favourite of several Fox News commentators, including noted anti-Mexican ideologue Lou Dobbs and general wingnut Glenn Beck. This is despite the fact that it was originally proposed by a Canadian conservative who was hoping that merging with the US would make Canada more conservative.
There is just about zero evidence for the proposed Union. Believers in the theory love to talk about the Amero, a fictional currency designed to be an eventual currency for such a union, but currently only existing only as an artist's dream. The other big piece of evidence is a Council on Foreign Relations report calling for erasing the boundaries between the three countries, but as the CFR is a non-governmental organization, this has no bearing on US policy.
