    Canadians would much rather take the short term financial hit and transition to trading with Europe and Asia than join that dumpster fire that’s happening down South

        Seriously. Any time there’s meaningful fines or technological progress it seems to be the EU.

          While not perfect, the EU is somewhat removed from each country in it, so they kinda have to please the majority, but the decisions aren’t changing everytime local politics change and different agendas every X years. When they decide USB C sucks, thats gonna stay in the works independent of any specific countries position on it in most cases. Thats how you get GDPR and net neutrality rights.

          It’s kinda shielded from being overtaken by right wing people because they dont believe in that kind of union, or at least it wouldnt function as well given many of the countries in it might leave etc… it may be too engrained to be undone now, and I would be happy if Canada joined (im Canadian)

      I’ll take a weaker dollar and healthcare over a stronger dollar and no health care. MAGAs are morons if they think I would join their shitty techno feudalism/neo-slavery experiment willingly.

      I hope this pushes Canada to join the EU. I can feel a bit safer knowing our conservative don’t even want that either (probably, yet).
