Some claim it is an urban myth, others a conspiracy theory, but there is a little truth in everything, and the truth hurts.

Apart from those who scan the blogosphere or visit less-than-mainstream media sources, few have heard of it, and that is no accident. Discussion and decisions around it have been held in secret.

The NAFTA superhighway is planned to be half a kilometre wide, and will link Manitoba to Mexico. Interstate 69 (no, I’m not kidding) will be a transportation corridor for trucks, cars, trains and oil pipelines. Flanked by fences, it will effectively bisect the USA and divide the country into east and west. Access along it, and most likely across it, will be restricted.
