Do cucumbers have experience in you?

Oh no… Five Eyes without the US would be called Four Eyes…

We’d better find another partner or a new name

Do the conservatives even have a platform yet?

I mean aside from “not trudeau” and “axe the tax” which are now irrelevant.

Its not a good thing but I dont think it will really gaslight the public. The average persons understanding of if their countries economy is doing well or not boils down to “do i feel richer or poorer than last election?”

Despite what some might think of bidenomics, which showed by most traditional metrics that the US economy was improving and recovering well from the pandemic, people still felt the economy was doing poorly because they felt poor… Because a lot of people now are poorer than previous generations. Which of course those tradtitional metrics dont really take into account that people get paid fuck all now, but my point is just that the official numbers dont mean a lot to the average voter.

Were going to need some sort of opt out to the internal market or this would hurt us more than a trade war with the US.

European countries dont need this because they naturally trade with eachother because of this thing some like to call “geography” but Canada does not, and thats not going to change from joining the EU.

Unlike the UK who just wanted to make their own trade deals Canada actually needs to. The EU values the sanctity of the single market more than the value the UK added to it, so they would pretty much have to create an entirely new member section just for us.

Still the freedom of movement, potential upgrades to our democracy, involvement in a rising world power, and potentially a mutual defence pact would be nice. Not too sure about the Euro, if it would hurt or help us.

As an added bonus, maybe when Quebec sees all these European countries that have English named products in their stores they will stop trying to rename Kraft Dinner. (Im Canadian and I live in Germany, half of things are in English and no one cares)

The Canadiano should be the Double Double (Double cream double sugar)

Well they fucked up the thumbnail, unless Vancouver island and the other islands on the west coast arent allowed to join

Only a quarter?

Does anyone happen to know if the CEO of Tuta is a fucking noron?

I just switched the proton a month ago and so id like to avoid having to do this every few months

Would have been nice of the author to mention the massive amount of trade deals that Canada already has.

Canada is the only G7 nation to have free trade agreements with every other G7 nation. The wikipedia page on Canadas trade deals is huge, 15 free trade agreements with 51 countries.

And most of the countries he suggested in the article are under active negotioation, the big ones being:

• ASEAN
• Indonesia
• Mercosur

Canada could have free trade agreements with every country on the planet and would still probably trade more with the US because they’re right there, they make a lot of stuff, and are the worlds largest economy… We cant teleport goods around the planet yet.

I think that targeted public funding to create domestic industries would be a much better way to secure the economy against US isolationism. Specifically in high tech industries. Why export 100$ worth of lumber to buy 1000$ worth of chairs if youll pardon my gross economic oversimplification.

They would have immigrants primarily from other parts of asia most likely

Not Morocconesia?
