Should Canada Join The EU?

Yeah, more robust rail links and fixing some of the dumber parochial interprovincial trade rules.

Not for vacation or something they don't, but it is progressively getting tighter

[thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe]

Given the trajectory of the last few weeks I don't think that would be a bad thing

[thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe]

Well Canada already has borders with France & Denmark if I recall correctly

I had a hard time writing that sentence, I totally get you

[yannic@lemmy.ca]

Consumer protections and laws against engineered obsolescence? Yes, please!

You already laid the whole plan... I guess it's decided then, you are in

The Greenland (so currently Denmark) land border is real, and might have the weirdest history of any border now, which is saying something. Saint Pierre and Miquelon are separated from us by 45 km of sea, though, so you might as well include Iceland.

As a Canadian, absolutely. Most of the relational downsides have dropped away at this point, even - Trump wants a less porous border and less trade.

CBC did an article on this recently, and basically said it would be too mean to Bosnia for the EU to consider, though. At the very least, we need a separate defence pact with Europe in case Trump rethinks his annexation strategy, and should give Europe access to whatever trees and cool rocks it wants in return.

Man, I still have one of those bills in a ziplock, and it still smells like maple.

The mint insists it never happened.
