With the US-Canada trade war heating up, Canadians are looking for friends elsewhere.
Perhaps surprisingly, nearly half of Canadians say they would support joining the European Union

Unless your calling rural AB then yeah … just half of that segment you called
I’m also British and lived with the benefits of the EU for most of my life (screw you, Brexiteers) so I know of what I speak.

On-boarding now.
You have our permission to damage OUR economy first.
We are not an American nation, like Mexico or the US, we are Europe-across-the-sea.
We are bilingual, socialist. We look outwards. We believe that all nations are exceptional. We have a democracy.
Canada is more likely to become a member of the EU
than the 51st state.

Coincidence?
Up next, Australia.
Remaining democracies need to stick together and fast.
I'd be proud to join the EU.

#TrumpLand America is now:
Toxic
Unstable
Antagonistic to free trade
Becoming a #tariff fortress economy
Unreliable to allies
Unpredictable
Anti-democratic
Authoritarian
Anti-European
Pro-Russian
That said, I do very much hope we take the opportunity to get much, much closer to Europe
Canada could jump on board the EUs €800billion weapons programme with an EU DCFTA quite quickly.

That said I'm not sure cancelling the contract is a good idea because we need to replace our CF-18s ASAP and cancelling the contract will both cost us more and force us to extend the CF-18 service life again
the debate raging in Europe right now is how to include the british, who, because of brexit cannot really join the Weapons programme without joining the EU Single market.
Sweden's Saab Gripen is the most.

The Rafale wasn't considered, not sure why not
Cancel the F35s...
Look what USA is doing to Ukraine
Can't trust USA
we're living in an era where the political equivalent of Veruca Salt having access to trident nuclear launch codes.

We would like to close business ties with you.
Unlike your neighbours in the south we would appreciate to buy your aluminium and steel... we can't build planes, tanks and ships out of wood.

We aren’t European.
Now - if there were a group of Scandinavian countries - that, I could agree with. Common ground with being northern countries with strong militaries and strong social safety networks.
although it is an obvious match.

On the other hand, Hungary has repeatedly demonstrated that it is not ready to uphold the core values of the EU...
@ec.europa.eu
We have Poland, Hungary, Italy. Far right take many point in Belgium, France, Germany where could win the next national election.
And many other countries where their score goes up.
But i think we speak also about rights, liberties and protections.
We had many right wing tyranny : Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Salazar, Papadopoulos/Gizikis, . And now we can see what they do with Putin, Orban, Meloni.
Look like humanity can't learn about autoritarism.
It's called St. Pierre en Miquelon
I’m rooting for these guys:

We tend to run more denim, plaid and leather🤔
Oh, just let your LGBTQ community help with your costuming to give it some flavour and you'll do fine 😎👍
By the way all our succesful representatives (Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah, Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha, Blind Channel - Dark Side) wore leather. 🤔🇫🇮

Canada is very similar to Western Europe countries in many respects. We have more in common with Canada than we have with Russia.
It would be so cool if both my countries were in the EU ❤️🇨🇦🇫🇮🇪🇺
I know it's probably not gonna happen, but one can dream.

And yes, he'd have been delighted by Brexit also.
Trump literally pushed Canada to ANOTHER CONTINENT!
IN 1 MONTH!

I need…
Greetings from Mexico.
I still think Canada should lead the creation of the American Union, however, partnering with México, Colombia, Brasil, etc, and not allowing the US to join until they rid themselves of fascism. This would be better for Canada and the Americas long term.

I have Swedish and Norwegian grandparents on my dad's side.
And my mum was a war bride from England.
I'm Canadian/European, not American.
Canada should never use the Euro as it would lose control of it own financial destiny.
Perhaps a New NATO type alliance but Canada is not European.
Canada needs a new best friend and the EU can be that.
By far most Europeans have very positive picture about Canada.
Heck Mexico should do the same.
