The Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) has essentially been rendered inactive, yet many of its key priorities such as energy integration were part of the agenda at the recent North American Leaders’ Summit held in Guadalajara, Mexico on Aug 9-10. Environmental concerns are being used to further advance North American integration and the U.S., Canada and Mexico have committed to a more continental approach in combating climate change.
In the North American Leaders’ Declaration on Climate Change and Clean Energy it states, “We stress that the experience developed during the last 15 years in the North American region on environmental cooperation, sustainable development, and clean energy research, development, and deployment constitutes a valuable platform for climate change action, and we resolve to make use of the opportunities offered by existing bilateral and trilateral institutions.” The leaders offered a shared vision for a low-carbon North America and the importance of taking aggressive action on climate change, including better cooperation in reducing emissions.

Basically once you've convinced people it's OK to tax the element they exhale you can control their social and political interaction. Once they're taxing your breath they can move you around like cattle.
MEDIA RELEASE
For Immediate Release
August 11, 2009
Canada, United States and Mexico Leaders Declaration on Climate Change and Clean Energy falls short on needed changes
"While the North American leader's declaration on climate change and energy reaffirms the urgency and necessity of taking aggressive action on the climate change crisis, it falls far short of taking the needed actions to ensure all three countries transition to low carbon economies," says Andrea Harden-Donahue, Energy Campaigner with the Council of Canadians. Instead, it has affirmed a weak long-term emission reduction target, emphasized false solutions such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), and failed to turn away from an energy integration strategy centered on fossil fuel exports from Canada and Mexico to the U.S. The declaration was released August 10 following the North American Leaders Summit in Guadalajara.

Then we come to the "competition" hysteria and the GDP/Growth/Productivity fraud.

Call them the assholes that they are acting like.
Education does more to reduce population growth than anything else we have tried. Oh ya , and challenge religion at every turn. Don't tip toe around their ignorance.
