No, because the governments are virtually irrelevant anyway, it is bankers and corporations that matter, and they do not care about borders, the economic corruption will not change at all. If anything it will get worse as corporations insinuate themselves even more deeply into the new political systems of the new American and Canadian republics. Also say hello to increased foreign exploitation and a much weaker standing internationally for everybody in North America, and possibly an economic depression as the new currencies struggle to achieve relevance
The experience of the past five years should stand as ample evidence of how wrong you are.
Banking systems in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Iceland plunged the world into a liquidity crisis. Banks in Canada and in Germany did nothing of the kind. Are banks in Canada and Germany less interested in making a buck? Of course not. Are they wiser? More ethical? No. They are better regulated.
Government makes an enormous difference, and we have the dollar (CAD) to prove it.
