Canada's people will lose the right to chose its own path, because laws will be overseen by the NA Union, much like they are in the EU.
Then once you have an EU, a NAU and maybe an Asian Union and so forth, you can merge them into a world government.
The NAU will happen in the next 10 years. World government could be in our lifetime.

You're being a little overly enthusiastic with 10 years. Maybe within 20-50 we will see a strong economic union(beyond SPP and NAFTA) with a loosening of the borders -- joint laws; but culturally there is very little to unite the people beyond popular media.
Heck, the USA can barely hold itself together as a people now... the entire country is fracturing along political and religious lines. Try adding in the populations of Canada and Mexico and you're looking at a massive mess.
Looking at the SPP site, my initial thought is that it makes a lot of sense... almost prudent.
