Which is closer to your vision of North America?

Vision A: Three interdependent countries with vibrant
social movements, respect for labor rights, and
environmentally sustainable economies anchored in
provision of social needs and respect for cultural
autonomy?

Or Vision B: An unequal alliance dominated by the United
States, complete with pumped up oil and gas production,
increasing militarization, corporate transnational
planning groups, and guest worker programs to ensure
cheap, vulnerable labor?
