The prospects for North American integration
* Public opinion polls in the three countries have shown:
1. We like each other;
2. Our values are converging toward a North American model, not an American one; and
3. We are prepared to join a North American entity provided that it wouldn’t threaten the culture of each country and that the standard of
living would increase.
* Despite what the polls say, several argued that Canadians do not want to be more integrated with the United States or be part of a North
American union because they are concerned that the union would be dominated by the United States. Canada has spent its entire existence defining
itself as what it’s not. Canadians fear that greater integration will homogenize or suppress their culture.
