    I don’t think Canada needs the Euro or the Stability and Growth Pact straightjacket. We also don’t need European xenophobic attitudes towards immigration.

    Let’s have a customs union, and let’s have closer integration and cooperation, but let’s keep our independence.

      @theacharnian @Sunshine

      Yeah works for me.

      Membership of the #EU is a long term project with many intermediate steps. Some decided they are fine with a certain step and stay on it(Norway) some decided to get off completley(Iceland) and some decided to get out after they were in(UK). Though I admit brexit was, unnecessarily, bitter the rift is healing and we enjoy good relations with all.

      Tough I’d welcome Canada into the union I dont think either side fully grasp how deep and wideranging ascension would be. Regardless I’m perfectly fine with a customs union if thats what #Canada wants.

        Well, Norway was at 52% Vs 48% back in '94. It’s changing, there was a big article on it today on nrk.no, so Norway might become an EU member soon.
