Today Canada was offered the position of "Associate Member"
of the European Union by Ursula von der Leyen.
But what does that mean? I think details remain to be
worked out, and certainly Canada does not want to
give up any of its sovereignty, or pay higher taxes.
Also I wonder what Trump will say about this?

suggest she might be a duke. One should know oneself a fool and
understand, "I am making a very normal post for myself,
considering my name is jojo."
Maybe you should move on to another nym. I don't think I will
ever look at the jojo graphic novels because you've trashed them
for me.

Carney wonrCOt let our sovereignty be compromised.
Should be interesting to see what the offer actually means. No one seems to know as yet

Maybe something like the UK deal where it paid the EU -u8bn net pa.
($15bn CAD) in return for giving up trade policy, immigration policy, subjecting its laws and regulation to superior EU law and preventing
the gov subsidising domestic or state owned enterprises....
to begin with.
I'd advise against but rather suggest the correct relationship with the
EU is return ticket visits of up to 87 day annually.
Rest assured that if the EU wants you it is not promoted by
thoughts of your well being. The anti-democratic Ponzi scheme
HAS to have more fresh meat.

too much to threaten that, EU and Defence is covered by NATO so the
field has narrowed considerably. I expect whatever the deal is it'll
include you having to accept 10/100s of thousands of single males with
no respect for your culture at best.

So far - It looks like that's not something we would need to worry about. I like the educational and work exchange idea though - Erasmus - which I think you have.
More to come.

Despite bringing huge scientific resources to the party the
EU is to get -u500milion for the UK rejoining in 20927 and
then it'll be a billion a year after that.
Today Canada was offered the position of "Associate Member"
of the European Union by Ursula von der Leyen.
