North America isn't Europe. It hasn't had the cycle of major war after major war that the EU was created to end. Not just WWII, WWI and the Napoleonic wars, but "little" ones like Thirty Years War - a third of the population of Germany wiped out.
More importantly, the EU has several major powers, and plenty of smaller ones that could team up. No one country can dominate the rest. North America on the other hand would be totally dominated by the US population and economy. So for Canada to join, it would require equal say in things like legal and monetary policy. This in turn would be unfair to Americans. It won't happen.
And the EU has safety measures to stop the flow of jobs from one country to another - joining countries must be in good shape economically. Once Mexico's economy is in good enough shape to join any NAU, its reasons for joining tend to disappear....
