Talk:NEXUS

Edit note

Relocating this from the article page for the moment - it doesn't directly related to the article itself and seems more appropriate for a link (but not the long description) to be included elsewhere.--Bob Burton 16:00, 21 March 2008 (EDT)

• Council of Canadians anti-North American Union blog - SPP WATCH::Integrate This! is about challenging the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), an executive-level pact between the governments and corporate sectors of Canada, the United States and Mexico, which has never been debated publicly or voted on in any of the three countries. There are over 300 initiatives in the SPP aimed at harmonizing North American policies on:

• • • food,
    • drugs,
    • Security & Civil Liberties
    • immigration,
    • refugees,
    • manufacturing,
    • the environment & public health.

But media reports often fail to link regulatory changes designed to move the SPP forward back to the broader goal of continental economic and security integration. The goal of the Integrate This! website is to make those links. As well as regular SPP updates, the site is full of reports, interviews and multimedia presentations critical of what's often called the "deep integration" of North America. News updates will be posted here regularly and archived ... The site is updated regularly so visit often, or sign up for regular updates above

And this section which is no longer their website. From a quick look around the CBSA website I can't see any ref to the three different sections of Nexus. Perhaps they are all now simply referred to as just NEXUS irrespective of the mode of travel.--Bob Burton 16:08, 21 March 2008 (EDT)

"The NEXUS family consists of NEXUS Highway, NEXUS Marine, and NEXUS Air." [1]

"Once approved by both Canada and the United States as low-risk travellers, NEXUS members will enjoy a simplified entry process while travelling across the Canada-United States border by motor vehicle, recreational boat or aircraft.

"The NEXUS programs allow Canadian and United States customs and immigration authorities to concentrate their efforts on potentially high-risk travellers and goods, thereby upholding security and protection standards at the border. All NEXUS members remain subject to examination at any time when entering either Canada or the United States." [2]
