OK, boys. All levity aside. The OP has a point. If we don't stop this highway project we're all gonna end up drinking margaritas with our burritos and lusting after Selma Hayak/Gael Garcia Bernal. We can't let that happen.

I'd also like to note that I am 100% in support of a North American Superstate as well. We could even move the capital of said superstate to Texas!

Ummm...according to the site below, the geographical center of North America is Rugby, North Dakota. That would make a nice continental capital. Land would be cheap.

Have you ever BEEN to north dakota? Nobody lives there unless they have to. The howling winter winds never stop, for there is nothing to stop them. It is a desert... of the soul.

Texas is much better.

NAFTA Superhighway debunked

http://www.newsweek.com/id/73372

The article talks about how ron paul is preying on peoples' fears of the NAU/Amero to try and get elected. Also this unholy alliance that Paul speaks of is the Security for Partnership and Prosperity. The SPP's goal is to try and standardize security laws throughout North America with the end result of freer trade between Canada, The US and Mexico. Of course, if the SPP were an unidentified organization as ron paul might wish, all the better for him. Your fears are votes for him. It should also be noted that the SPP seeks more freedom to trade and move throughout the boarders of North America; it's not to create a North American superstate. Shame on ron paul for preying on peoples' fears.

You can read more about the SPP here.

TransCanada Proposes $26 Billion Alaska Pipeline
Fri Jan 4, 5:16 PM

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - TransCanada Corp , the only company whose Alaska gas pipeline proposal has been deemed acceptable to the state, is planning a $26 billion project that would connect with its Alberta hub, a TransCanada spokeswoman said on Friday.

Under the proposal, TransCanada would build the Canadian portion of the immense line under the Northern Pipeline Act, three-decade-old legislation that the company believes gives it the exclusive right to construct such a pipeline, said TransCanada's Cecily Dobson.

"We look forward to working with the state for a successful conclusion of the process," Dobson said. "We'll follow the state's process as we move forward through the 60-day review and the submission for legislative approval."

TransCanada -- which has been vying to build a pipeline to tap North Slope gas reserves since the late 1970s -- was one of five bidders to submit proposals by early last month under the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act.

Up until 2005, Alaska gas producers like BP Plc and rival pipeline firm Enbridge Inc had cajoled Ottawa to say whether TransCanada's plans still entitled it to the rights under the NPA or if there could be a competing bidder for the Canadian portion.

Little has been made public on the matter since.

Dobson said she had no information on whether TransCanada would seek to foot the entire bill itself or ...

"find partners".

The company has long proposed a connection for Alaska gas with its Alberta system, where supplies can be shipped on to Eastern Canada, the U.S. Midwest and Northeast, as well as to California.

"And that will be using the Northern Pipeline Act and our Yukon right of way," she said.
