I guess my belief that the NAU has a strong chance of happening comes from the vast move towards globalization and privatization we've seen in recent years. Our governments are deregulating everything from transportation construction to water sources and supply networks. MNC's control our politics. Private corporations now hold the ability to sue our federal governments if they "infringe on the ability to make maximum profit". UPS has sued Canada Post for billions because of their postage prices (which are lower due to partial government funding). A Canadian gasoline addictive company has sued the government of California for canceling a contract for an additive found to cause cancer in children.

Our elected officials either a)don't care about the citizens that elected them or b)have lost the power to affect change. Maybe it's both.
Another sign could be the paring of the US and Canadian Dollar. I understand it's purely speculative, but with the decoupling we are seeing between the US Dollar and world oil markets, the US needs to do something to re-standardize their currency on a world scale. Bringing in tradable commodities such and oil, water and lumber would do just that.
Short of putting forward a concise plan that our governments could possibly use to implement a NAU, I'm not sure would else to divulge.
