Americas bloc excluding US and Canada is proposed

Latin American and Caribbean nations have agreed to set up a new regional body without the US and Canada, Mexican President Felipe Calderon has said.

The new bloc would be an alternative to the Organisation of American States (OAS), the main forum for regional affairs in the past 50 years.

Mexico is hosting a regional summit in the beach resort of Cancun.

Hey, I’ve got an idea… let’s take all the po’ foke  and make sure they don’t try to emulate the rich. Because if they did that, who knows… they might learn something and succeed. And the last thing dictators or socialists (but I repeat myself) want is people figuring out how to be successful. Better to make failure and poverty permanent, and blame it on the Yankees.

  1. Canada gets excluded from a Central and South American international group? I’ll attempt to feel insulted, but my atlas will make that challenging.

    At least Chile has some sense. I hope Brazil does too.

    Why don’t they just make some changes to the Rio Group? This Cancun meeting was of the Rio Group, an organization that does not have the USA or Canada as members. So…at a meeting of an organization that does not include the USA or Canada, they proposed creating an organization that does not include the USA or Canada.

    Or why not just make some changes to the Union of South American Nations?

    If they want to create a superfluous international organization…I’m glad my taxes won’t be going towards it.

  2. This will only last until the next wave of “revoluciones”, just like the last time.

  3. My comment to them: “Go for it. Just don’t ask for my help.”

  4. Huron? Sorry, my Canuck Brother, your tax money is already going to that crap.
