Bonkers Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 As anyone else heard of this? Apparently the government is building a highway from Mexico to Canada to allow other countries to by-pass American tax laws for shipping goods through the country. It doesn't make sense to me, but several websites are talking about $200b+ in apportioned funds and no Americans will be allowed to drive on it. Oh, and no pesky customs inspections to slow down traffic. If this is real I am very concerned, but if not could someone please tell me where to look. Snopes.com, wikipedia, and none of the news sites have ANYTHING regarding details to this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Well... I don't think they ment to build a highway. Maybe in a figurative sense. The idea was to streamline the paperwork so that goods could be passed accross the country without having taxes applied or having to deal with customs and blah blah blah. Basically so that you could actually get something shipped from A to B without it taking two months. NAFTA is retarded. Canada should have posted notice a LONG time ago and gotten out of it. Unfortunatly, the last government had their own agenda (making themselves rich) and the current one sucks up to the cross border politicians. Okay, so I made a political post. I probably won't do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenosha Warrior Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 last time I was in Ottawa, I went out to a friend's place and we wheeled the snot out of his old YJ, then drank then wandered downtown ottawa loaded to the sky. I relived myself on the main building of federal parliament without realizing it, until after.:) but stopped and saluted the war memorials, as I'm from a military bkgrnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkers Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 No, not NAFTA, I mean a real apshault and concrete roadway streching from Mexico City to Toronto. A buddy of mine in Texas mentioned it to me so I started to research (thinking it was a myth.) Apparently its not. http://www.thenewamerican.com/artman/pu ... 4218.shtml They're calling it the "Trans Texas Corridor" down there, but it will ultimately span the US.

Eagle Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Nope, it is not an urban legend. It's another proposal by El Presidente Jorge to turn the United States of America over to anyone EXCEPT Americans. :nuts: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feerocknok Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I'd drive halfway across the country just to drive on it anyways. Guess it's a good idea for trade between the two countries, but getting ahold of the land makes it unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Nah, I think they're just going to designate a couple lanes in the centre of the highway for whatever-they-call-this use only. Sorta like the HOV lane, jsut you can't buy a couple blow up dolls to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed_racer Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Its for fuel transport, specifically. Ill dig up the links I have. Will be a full pipeline running parallel to this road. And it WILL be open, but under special passes, based on what theyve said thus far. Mainly for non stop transport from mexico to canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchunter Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I've heard alot about this too. Bonkers is right. In addition to what he said, it is also a way for importers to bypass our western ports by importing everything from Asia into Mexico to save money. Then everything will be trucked north from there. I live in western WA and this could really mess up the economy up and down the large ports of the west coast. I've heard that many American truckers may be out of work because truckers from Mexico will be able to drive on the super highway system (for less money than American truckers). From what I've heard, it's not good. :USAflag: :USAflag: :USAflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkers Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 What is really amazing me is that no one seems to care that our governement has allocated $200,000,000,000.00 towards a project which raises some SERIOUS questions about the stability of our boarders. Its like we're all "yeah whatever, springers's on..." Hillard and Edwards are in full support of Bush's plans to make this happen - doesn't that strike anyone else as the seventh sign of the apocolypse? Since we're fronting the bill, how can this possible help us in the long run? Seems like quite the windfall for Mexico. A lot of questions and no real answers, this is exactly why our government gets away with crap - americans don't bother challenging it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 The whole plan is to screw up the country so that a dictator can take over in time for one world order. Any guesses who the Anti-Christ is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkers Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 Any guesses who the Anti-Christ is? Pat Robertson or Paula Zahn... I'm leaning towards Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I think it's "she" is a little darker and smarter than those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
