Michael Wilson, the new Canadian Ambassador to the US, helped bring in NAFTA as Mulroney's Minister of International Trade and has been a tireless advocate of privatizing public corporations. More recently he favoured Canada joining the US in the Iraq adventure.

He was one of a dozen Canadians who brokered The Task Force on the Future of North America into the more watered down Waco Pact signed by Paul Martin, Vicente Fox, and George Bush in March 2005.

The original Task Force of which Michael Wilson was a member made the following recommendations:

• a North American resource pact allowing greater trade and investment in non-renewable resources, such as oil, gas, and water
  
• an integrated N.A. electrical grid
  
• a common N.A. currency
  
• a N.A. passport
  
• a N.A. security perimeter
  
• an educational project to teach the idea of a "shared N.A. identity" in schools
  
• a harmonization of immigration and refugee policies with the US
  
• a trilateral threat intelligence center with the US and Mexico
  

And this is the guy who is going to "Stand Up For Canada" ?
