Capitalists are gonna have a meltdown when we’ll have to implement the 4 weeks minimum paid vacation, banked overtime with a yearly limit, bretter minimum wage, tougher regulations on food and environment protection. Etc.
I’ll probably get called entitled, but even 3 weeks isn’t enough, and I know that’s more than many people get.
You’re not entitled, your advocating for yourself and others. Work should not be our whole lives.
You’re being reasonable.
Fucking worth the extra taxes. The EU isn’t perfect, but they’re still sane enough to back.
Yet i can get behind this framework as something good for the population. It’s like a NDP program but more realistic and with economic growth with our peers as a target.
This year (most years) i will vote Liberal but i did vote NDP on and off in the past and my circumscription changes from red to orange often in the last two decades.
I’m still voting NDP. We can still get a minority liberal government with a strong NDP coalition.
No. Unless they change a party ked by Singh is not getting my vote. I’m not even sure about the liberals yet we’ll have to see what he does so far not looking good. And cons are a no.
Yeah… Just learned this week Carney has ties to Ghislaine Maxwell (or his wife rather). Jeffrey Epstein’s right hand.Isn’t it funny how all these rich elites all have ties to that motherfucker? I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist, but man it’s getting difficult.Edit: Holy shit I got duped hard. Turns out it was all fake.
This is the first I’ve heard of it. Can you share your source, please? I want to see it myself whether it’s reputable before I form an opinion.
Hey thanks for making me look it up.
I saw this on an Instagram story. But it turns out it’s all fake. Conservative media has been pushing it really hard. I could only find sources like the the Toronto Sun and True North.
I got duped pretty bad there.
I edited my comment with the fact check.
Wow, the Russian (probably) movement went hard on that one.
My respect to you for going back and checking it out.
Being a member of the European Economic Area is a more realistic goal and would probably solve Canada’s problems derived from being far too Economically entwinned with their next door neighbour.
Mind you, any form of being part of the EU Single Market (which EEA members are without being EU members) requires a ton of uniformization of things like Product regulations (which amongst other things means Canada would not be allowed to import many if not most US food products such as for example beef of cattle which has been fed hormones) and acceptance of Freedom Of Movement for both people and goods.
(Following Brexit, Britain did not move to become an EEA member exactly because of both the Freedom of Movement requirement and the difficulty in getting other EEA member approval since the UK are a disproportionatelly large economy compared to all EEA members but Canada’s reasons are different - not anti-immigration and xenophobia like the UK - so things like Freedom Of Movement would probably not be an issue and its Economy is just a bit over half the size of the UK’s)
That would be the craziest shit to be honest, but I sure welcome you all!
This is going to be so funny for Britain.
In 10 years there will be European countries all over the world.
It’s a nice idea but the EU needs to do a treaty reform to do that. There’ll also be a major issue with integrating since Canada is a part of NAFTA and will have to potentially produce labels and hold standards of both. There are probably some regulations that contradict each other somewhere.
Seems like the current US government is trying to rip that agreement right up
Why would this be surprising given the state of things?
Fuck yeeeah!
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.
Signed, a dual citizen.
Yet Europe has way more immigrants than Canada, but OK
In absolute numbers, yes. As a percentage of the population, nowhere near.
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.
I’m all for closer ties with the EU but it doesn’t make sense to join the union due to simple geography.
If they can get some kind of special status like the UK had it would make sense, simply because there’s no tariffs inside EU borders and free travel and probably some other stuff.
Greenland.
