Where did I say I had a problem with sharing anything with the poorer nations?

We've got a high influx of polish people coming in, looking for work because they can't find any back home. They work here, and then take the money back to Poland.
You sound just like all the Americans talking about the Mexican migrant workers in the USA.

Sorry, sounds more like "intolerance" towards people from a poorer nation coming to take jobs away from the British. (back to my point).

Nah, it's not intolerance. I don't have problems with people from EU countries going from place to place to make money and then go home with it. It happens in Canada from province to province. What I do have a problem with though, is the UK govt pushing the EU but refusing to change THEIR currency over. It's like...they want their cake and they want to eat it too, you know?

aha. o.k. So you agree with the EU? It's a good thing?
I mean the countries have not lost their sovereignty, and in Britain's case they kept their own currency.
So what is wrong with Canada, the USA and Mexico sharing the same values in a United North America so that we can have a stronger economy, ease of trade and workers, the same as the EU, just a NAU?
It allows the 3 countries to share military, and harmonizes laws. It just makes things easier.

Jeez dude it's the Internet. I could care less what people call me on the NET. They don't know me personally.
Besides anyone who is seriously offended by a comment directed at them over the Internet, needs to seek professional help. Really!!
Yeah, sorry for calling you a "Liberal" - I know it's kind of a dirty word these days.

It would only ever come to pass over an extended period of time. First some agreement would be reached on some issue, then another issue, then another, yadda yadda ya, 50-60 years from now everyone says "fvk it" and a United North America is hailed by all is the greatest thing since the wheel.
Even those who now oppose the idea will accept it if they happen to live that long.
I'm not in favour of it, but I can see it happening eventually. I expect it to happen long after I'm dead though, so it doesn't personally affect me. If I do live to see it and it happened within the next decade, I think I'd be pretty pissed about it.

I am starting to see a trend here.
Seems Liberals are selfish, self absorbed individuals who do not what to share anything they have to poorer nations.
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with migrants coming in to do some work.
I think one of the reason the U.S. economy is so strong is because of the migrant worker.
They come in, do the work at lower prices and help keep inflation from running ramped.
The over all cost of living is far less in the United States, than it is in Canada.
In Canada there is such a shortage of workers and people are paid ridiculously high wages, thus a trickle down affect in Alberta, food, rent, everything is crazy expensive.
Do you think if we had 1000's of Mexicans up here in the construction industry working for cheaper wages, we would have such a shortage of houses, or that houses would be as expensive. Fuck NO!!

I totally agree with your point.
The left always says that it is there for the poors and to protect them from the greedy free-trader-capitalists.
My lefty friends see me as a selfish capitalist who doesn't care about others because i'm for economic liberalism and more globalization.
But while they are donating the yearly 5$ to UNICEF, the globalization is helping poor countries by giving them billions and billions and helping them developing. And it's doing so by helping our economy TOO. That's much more wise.
Many people don't know but the mercantilist view of economics, that says that when someone wins the other looses, has been refuted hundreds years ago.

I agree, I never understood how people believe in this zero-sum situation.
