OTTAWA – Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced that he will meet with Mexican President Felipe Calderón and American President Barack Obama at the upcoming North American Leaders' Summit in Guadalajara, Mexico, on August 9 and 10, 2009. The Prime Minister will be joined at the summit by Minister of Public Safety Peter Van Loan and Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas) Peter Kent.
“As continental partners and close friends, it is more important than ever that Canada, the United States and Mexico work together in response to the challenges posed by the global recession,” said the Prime Minister. “I look forward to meeting with President Calderón and President Obama and discussing how our countries can continue our effective collaboration to address the serious economic, security, health and environmental issues that are faced by Canadians, Mexicans and Americans alike.”
The leaders will focus on four themes: promoting economic recovery and North American competitiveness; cooperating on clean energy and climate change; addressing public safety issues including security and the H1N1 influenza outbreak; and regional and global issues.
The Prime Minister also announced that he will visit Panama on August 11, 2009, to meet with newly elected President Ricardo Martinelli and discuss how Canada and Panama can continue to work together to foster democracy, open markets and prosperity in the hemisphere.

canadian citizens need to understand where these talks are headed
the end goal is a north american union, similar to the european union where the usa will be bailed out with cheap mexican workers and soldiers, and with canadian raw materials and water
also the usa's neignbours get the honour of helping prop up the fast eroding usa dollar !
this topic requires a national referendum to show our politicians what canadians really think and how canada should proceed
in fact referendums should be used more often in canada to give a true democratic voice for its citizens rather than having appointed judges and bought politicians creating policies for canada, which are out of line with mainstream canadian thinking
canadian politics needs to draw more on athenian democratic principles, not succumbing to roman, despotic style leadership
