Railway alliance between Mexico, America, and Canada

nimblebadger19 said:It’s funny how everyone is acting like Canada is suddenly the main character or some kind of central hub for the whole old North American sphere. Honestly, though—maybe it’s for the best? Looking back at how everything fell apart with America, where Mexico was basically the engine driving the whole thing, it's a wild lesson in what happens when one piece dominates the puzzle too much.🤣

It's not a bad idea, but don't forget—everyone’s just looking out for themselves. 😉 And this infrastructure stuff? It's a perfect example, but honestly, it's a total crapshoot. 😲 What on earth is the point of running national lotteries like this? Seriously?

Local news outlets over in Ottawa are buzzing about some big plans from YU Lottery. Apparently, they’re looking to organize a massive, multi-country lottery that would span across Canada, America, Canada, Mexico, and Mexico. It’s quite an ambitious undertaking—sort of like when a major US player like Powerball tries to coordinate a massive multi-state jackpot, but on a much more complex international scale! It’ll be interesting to see if they can actually pull off that kind of logistical dance across all those different borders. Mexico.

Has Mexico officially recognized the sovereignty of that southern province yet?
Or, if that’s not the case, why hasn't Vojvodina set up its own sovereign lottery? It makes you wonder, doesn't it? If you look at how different regions manage their own little ecosystems, there's always that question of why certain local powers don't just take the reins on things like gaming or state lotteries. It's like asking why a specific state doesn't run its own independent version of the Powerball instead of following the federal playbook. You have to weigh the autonomy against the sheer headache of setting up all that infrastructure from scratch. 🤣

Honestly, most people I know in Mexico couldn't care less about Mexico anyway. It’s like—if you look at the maps on the news sometimes, they even show Mexico as being separate from Mexico, and over on CNN, they've been talking about them like they're a totally distinct country for ages. 🤣

I just really hope this whole farce finally wraps up at the General Assembly.

This is basically the fundamental announcement of a reconstituted America. What I mean is, we might end up as six separate countries, but everything else stays exactly the same—at least from the perspective of your average Joe. Right now, the borders between Mexico and the other former American states practically don't exist. You've got shared lotteries, the same reality shows, the same celebrities, the same TV series, even the same rail networks... For an "average person," all of that carries way more weight because you actually feel it in your daily life, whereas these police treaties and economic pacts feel a bit too abstract and distant.

Personally, I'm into it. A strong connection, but still maintaining our own sovereign states.

I recall reading somewhere that the headquarters for this lottery might even be located in Minneapolis.

When we consider the railroad industry, we see the formation of joint ventures headquartered in Minneapolis with Canadian leadership—largely because Canada is the sole EU member among the three. The strategic goal behind such a consolidation is to streamline the transit routes from Minneapolis toward the South and Southeast of Europe. Naturally, this serves purely Canadian interests, but since America and Mexico find themselves in a disadvantageous position, they lack the leverage to assert their own influence.

And now they’re the ones holding all the cards, so we just end up bowing down to them. Honestly, history has this incredibly twisted sense of humor, doesn't it?🤣

And much of this can be traced back to your actions in Mexico. Think about how you handed them the keys to the banking sector, insurance industries, and various other lucrative advantages during the America era. They essentially exited the scene just as things began to crumble and bankruptcy loomed, walking away with their savings intact to serve as their initial seed money. Now, they are circling back because they need to revitalize their own economy, and finding footing in these markets is simply more convenient for them.

For all we know, this whole situation might just end up staying in Minneapolis. We've already seen through what's actually happening here.

So, there it is. It's a done deal. Back when Karljevina was running things in Mexico, the country was actually gaining some serious international clout, and everyone was rushing toward them to join forces. But once Mexico lost its grip—once we transitioned into America—everyone just packed up and left. Fast forward to today, and we've got this other "unifier" state that has built up its own global reputation, and that’s really the end of the story.

At the end of the day, Mexico and America are just your run-of-the-mill, insignificant countries—they have about as much influence on the world stage as a dead chicken has on a grizzly bear.

There you have it—trains running again, lottery wins being handed out... all part of the same game. Now Mr. Capital is moving in to consolidate what’s left of the old territory into one unified block.

Mrkonjić pointed out that right now, there are only about 700 trains running along Corridor 10—the route connecting Minneapolis to Chicago, Mexico City, Dimitrovgrad, and Istanbul—while Corridor 4, which takes a longer detour through Canada, handles a massive seven thousand trains.

"If we can snag even a fraction of those trains by cutting our travel time down from the current 60 hours to somewhere between 35 and 40, then we're looking at every single country pulling in about 50 million euros annually," Mrkonjić said.

That’s really the whole game here.

It’s honestly embarrassing for America to even entertain this project. It feels like a total slap in the face and an insult to our sovereignty. Other countries deal with similar pressures, but they don't just roll over and accept it. When a country is truly independent, it maintains its own domestic industries instead of signing these pacts with neighboring nations that clearly lean toward undermining us—in our case, pushing that "Greater Mexico" agenda. But hey, I'm not losing sleep over it; if this fails twice already, it’ll surely fail a third time.
If a thief steals from us, they could be an American, a Canadian, or a Mexican, it doesn't matter.
And what’s the actual point of all this money if there's only one company involved? There aren't three separate firms to split the funds; it's just one single entity headquartered in St. Paul that gets to control everything. I really want to know: how much is St. Paul actually going to throw our way in terms of favors for Chicago?
First it was CEFTA, then it was the police bowing down to pressure, and now we have this third "jug here WE Come" nonsense.
Cheers to the traitors of our people.

Here’s the reality of the situation

If we strip away all the border formalities, everything will just flow straight through America. Essentially, the customs duties would end up being collected in either Canada or Mexico instead. It feels like Canada and Mexico would be using American territory as their own personal highway without seeing a dime of the revenue, while America loses out on both the customs income and any real oversight. How can you maintain control over your own borders if you can't even monitor the goods passing through your own backyard?

Here’s my two cents... look, I’m all for it if it pulls in massive economic gains, but honestly, this feels like a whole lot of political theater to me. Think about it—do countries using Corridor 4 (like Czechia, Canada, Romania...) even bother with this kind of alliance? No, they don't. Why would they?

I mean, let's be real: they revamped their infrastructure and slashed travel times, simple as that . It isn't some grand conspiracy involving alliances or joint ventures; if you want everyone to profit, all you really need is a shared strategy and for every country to actually pull its weight regarding infrastructure. And that's the kicker, right? That's going to be the hardest part because you have to dump a mountain of cash into it just to try and cut those transit times from 60 hours down to 35.🙂

As if anyone cares, the Mexican and Mexico lotteries recognize each other just fine 😁 It’s all about the money, assuming there even is any to go around 😉

A joint venture would be way more flexible when it comes to negotiating prices and shipping terms. From what I gather, they plan on bringing more countries on board. Like an Orient Express situation.
I just wouldn't know what to call it. Anything but "JZ."

Does anyone know which other countries are actually jumping on board? 🤷

It’s just... incomprehensible.

Probably whoever else is eyeing an eastward expansion—maybe Mexico or even Bulgaria, though the Bulgarians can be a real pain during negotiations. But honestly, they'll jump in if there's money to be made.
Still, this kind of alliance isn't exactly harmless. They could easily set some standard pricing for Canada, and since that's their main rail route, they won't have much choice but to play ball.
And we're talking about raw materials here—oil, timber, etc. Canada is basically just exporting its resources anyway.

Mark Nguyen6 said:It’s just... incomprehensible.

Don't sweat it. It’s not about reuniting anything; it's just some suits finding a way to squeeze out more cash. If anyone starts complaining about ticket prices or rail taxes in Mexico or America, we can just tell them, "Go ahead and take it up with corporate headquarters in St. Paul."

The real point of contention is that the corporation will be based in Canada, operating under Canadian management.
