Waterloo Ontario - Re: U.S. Regulator Details Rules for Railway Merger - 19 May 2021
 
Reading about the possibility of a merger between (America's) Kansas City Southern railway and the Canadian National Railway caused my thoughts to wander down a globalization path that I hope we never realize.
 
One might suppose that such a transportation merger could well pave the way for the widespread acceptance of a very similar possible transportation merger between an American and a Canadian airline.
 
I have long expected that such a merger would later pave the way for one or more mergers between some other American and Canadian entities, that is, our banks, noting that the Canadian banks already have branches in the U.S.
 
One thing leads to another, of course, so that such Canada-U.S. bank mergers, and our present common free trade pact could well be followed by something else which is occasionally discussed by pundits, Canada's adoption of the U.S. dollar.
 
This would naturally occur in precisely the same way that the European Union has adopted the common currency of the euro.
 
Eventually, the logic of globalization may well be leading us to a digital world currency and a centralized, likely corrupt, common government, but before that happens I believe people will wake up to all of the associated dangers of such a centralized government.
