President Obama hosted Mexican President Felipe Calderón and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Washington, D.C., this week for the so-called “North American Leaders Summit,” announcing further integration of the three governments across a broad range of fields. The meeting, however, fueled deep suspicion and concern among advocates of national sovereignty and the U.S. Constitution.
According to statements released after the gathering, Obama and the leaders of Mexico and Canada discussed everything from trade and energy to security, health, and narcotics. All agreed that more integration and trilateral cooperation was needed, supposedly for the benefit of the “peoples” of the region.

We are experiencing so many changes to our laws and governing systems that the average citizen (me) can’t keep up with them! Each day there are posts like this one showing yet another initiative that has been going on for a long time but now is coming to the front and bringing the potential of massive change. I don’t like change! Transition is tough, and the older I get the less I like it… But there is no holding back the shifting sands of time, and people and politics will continue to cycle through, and the world will be different again next year more so than the last. AAHHHhhhhhh… oh well.
