The Canadian gov't cannot go into any kind of political union - NAU or other - without public approval. Remember the failed Meech Lake constitutional brouhaha where a proposal just to AMEND the Constitution got shot down by referendum?

Talk about NAU is just that - talk. It is not only impossible for this go ahead without public approval in Canada, it is even MORE impossible that it goes ahead without such in the USA. They also have a Constitution, and it can't be superseded by fiat - the legislative branch could propose it, and the executive approve it, but the courts would just throw out such a thing as unconstitutional and that would be the end of that.

If this is to be taken seriously, please explain exactly HOW the governments are going to implement this without serious restructuring of their respective constitutions, bearing in mind that such restructuring requires public input and approval - and not requires in the MORAL sense, but in the LEGAL sense.

Distrust of the government shouldn't lead one to embrace the impossible.
