Canada will join the EU by 2028
I’m all for it.
Our telcos would block it for sure
I will happily burn down a Telus office building if it means entry into the EU.
I’ll get Rogers
I’ll bring the marshmallows
AND MY AXE!
Yes! Cheese! Chocolate! Gummibears!!
Let me get this straight. Canada a country already over burdened with regulations with a faltering economy wants to join the EU an other over regulated market with faltering economy? No thanks
Probably by fair trading without US oligarchs and its unhinged financial sector sucking up all profit derived from their respective countries. And hopefully with more equal wealth distribution not completely derailing nice infographics. Because the one above is utterly useless if what you care for actually is quality of life, not just numbers going up.
We already have a major free trade agreement with the EU, and we’re not burdened by their regulations on most resources that we want to export to them anyways.
This is different from those people who are talking about actually joining the EU. We’re just shipping our raw resources (or preferably refined resources).
And frankly speaking, a lot of the US’s growth comes from the fact that they’ve been taking advantage of their legacy infrastructure like 60 year old power plants, and the fact that we sell them oil and minerals at costs much lower than the world average. We redirect a ton of that to the EU and other countries, and the US’s growth with drastically slow down while giving us huge growth as the profit margin of our products will rise substantially.
EU might not be as rich as the US, but it is still quite rich, and isn’t about to collapse under its own weight like China. As economies go, they are literally the next best thing after the US, and their reliability makes them far more attractive partners for the next half century.
Based on what the US has been doing over the past month, I’m not so sure your trend will continue like this. And in any case, the US is at best an unreliable trading partner, and at worst an enemy of Canada, so we need new trading partners. The EU seems like as good as any.
More trade with EU is great. All for it. Trade with China and friendly relations/trade with Russia is needed because these are countries that will help stand up against US. Getting a commitment for next agricultural harvests to export to China/asia or EU is a critical win to displace US agriculture.
Trade with Russia? WTF does Russia offer but trolls and BS
Unless you think Ukraine can stand up to US more than Russia, it’s the wrong side to back. Caring more about Ukraine than Canada is normal for downvoters.
How about one doesn’t oppose Nazi B by siding with Nazi A
The real evil direct threats of nazi B, vs the reasonable right to not be diminished that side A has asserted, and nazi B fabricated to get you to side with nazi B all this time?
Um, yes. I would rather ally with Ukraine, regardless of who else my friends and enemies are.
