You seem to be under the impression that there is going to be some big public celebration of the NAU initiation date. It is being done incrementally under the public radar.
And I pointed out to you that it is not possible due to the sheer amount of rules, regulations, standards, codes, procedures, and practices that have to be changed. All of that requires legislative changes which cannot be achieved without the legislatures of the respective countries.
Do you seriously think financial regulations in Canada can be unilaterally changed by the Prime Minister? Think again. For that matter, can financial regulations in the U.S. be unilaterally changed by the President? And financial regulations are but one element of the existing laws which would need to be changed, let alone the myriad of others.
Another example: does the President have the power to unilaterally revoke the WHTI legislation? It's already been enacted into law.
I still remember when the trade treaties were proposed in Europe that the people who pointed out that this would lead to a European Union were called names.
This would only have relevancy if you could show the European Union was achieved without any sort of public input or actions by the legistatures of the involved European nations.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: anyone who thinks the NAU is real and that Canada is happily going along with it is someone who clearly, clearly does not understand Canadian politics. I'd be willing to add that it shows a misunderstanding of a fundamental aspect of the American national character too.
