Uncle Fetzer often talks about this on his show and elsewhere; now I see that Pat Buchanan has picked up the torch.

The American people never supported NAFTA, and they are angry over Bush's failure to secure the border -- but a shotgun marriage between our two nations appears prearranged. Central feature: a ten-lane, 400-yard-wide NAFTA Super Highway from the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, up to and across the U.S. border, all the way to Canada. Within the median strip dividing the north and south car and truck lanes would be rail lines for both passengers and freight traffic, and oil and gas pipelines.

Buchanan brings in the merger of Canada, the US and Mexico, which he helpfully terms "Mexamerica".

Fetzer likes to claim that this highway would "bifurcate the country" (as if, for example, Route 80 doesn't already).

Anybody beeen following this story? I know crackpot Jerome Corsi has been pushing this hard at Human Events Online. Here's a good debate back and forth between Corsi and John Hawkins, the proprietor of Right Wing News (who doesn't buy the Mexamerica claims).
 
Hey, why does Buchanan leave Canada out of the name...no fair...

Canexica seems perfect...

Or, also known as The United Countries of Canexica (UCC)

They sure assume a lot of west coast tectonic activity over the next 60+ years. (Personally, I think global warming has a better chance of visibly impacting the coastline by then.)

Well, you have to understand the setting.

Basically, magic comes "back" (it's discovered that magic exists, but ebbs and flows over history. MOdern history was in a "low-magic" time). OF course, most of us have no clue about it...but the various Native American tribes had kept the old rituals and such. So the earthquakes, volcanoes, etc were the result of the Native American tribes (along with the native tribes of Central America) getting together to practice a few rituals, and politely request that they get back their native lands.

It's an interesting game :)

Hmm, that actually makes more sense (in a weird way). As for the name of the combined supercountry of Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.A., I'd say that the chances of said country actually coming into being is about on par with it being named "Averyland."
