I have no problem with a north american union made up of the US and Canada.
I have a BIG problem with adding Mexico and there corrupt government.
there Drug cartels and there crime problems
I would rather add japan and call it the North Pacific Union.
With Japan Canada and the US we would have something equal to the EU.
Maybe even add the UK.
