    That’s why the EU is the best trade alliance. It gives you the opportunity to maintain your national autonomy and to benefit from the advantages of a trade alliance.

      You give up a LOT of autonomy and sovereignty to join the EU, as far as the (semi-)harmonized fields of regulations go. Which is ever growing, by the way.

      Right, I think this is the kind of model that should basically be scaled to the entire planet eventually. Maybe it’s regional alliances that nestle into a bigger alliance on top of whatever the specifics are, it’s clear the way to go is to preserve individual country/regional identities and independence while increasing cross-collaboration and alignment.

    I would first like to see Canada treat First Nations with some dignity and respect first. Just because they’re marginally better than USA doesn’t mean they’re not awful.

    The EU and Canada share a land border. This is just natural.

    (The EU and Brazil too, but one step at a time)

      Are we talking about Quebec? Because I’m pretty sure it is part of Canada, as strange as it might seem…

      (FYI I love you Quebecians, I am sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings!)

          Thanks for letting me know! I suspected it was wrong, but didn’t know what was correct. I was however certain that someone would correct me XD
