The North American Union is the proposal at the center of this film: a plan, debated in policy circles since the 1990s, to fold Canada, the United States, and Mexico into a single deeply integrated bloc. Directors Bryan Law and Dan Dicks interview the people on both sides of that argument, from Robert Pastor of the Council on Foreign Relations and Allan Gotlieb of the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group, who favor integration, to economist Herbert Grubel, who coined the term "Amero" for a proposed common currency, and activists like Luke Rudkowski who see the project as a threat to national sovereignty. The film traces NAFTA's actual record as evidence: two-thirds of Canadian families with declining real incomes since the bilateral trade deal, and roughly two million Mexican farmers pushed off their land, some of the half a million people a year trying to cross into the US illegally. John Manley, head of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, speaks for the business case. The film ends by tying the North American project to a broader push toward world government.
