Canada

Gripen is the Swedish one, France's jet is the Rafale

But I mean either way it's a fast jet made in Europe

It’s way more likely that he’d roll out the welcome mat for the states instead

Trudeau's exit date is supposedly when the LPC elects a new leader. The election is supposedly going to be called once Parliament gets back.

Yet as a Canadian I will welcome agricultural rules harmonization with EU. Give a five year frame to reach 70 % and 10 years to reach above 95 %. Present the thing to Canadian as a matter of sovereignty while reminding our farmers that the current buy Canadian frenzy is a net positive for them if they see it under the “opportunity” light.

Invite Canada as an “observer” at the EU table for as long as these discussions are successful, it will mess with Trump gang.

Most of Canada's beef cattle come from Alberta so passing CETA should soon be a breeze -- just let Alberta know that their market will only be Canada (if they use growth hormone) or the world (if they don't).

If they're smart they'll choose right.

Those ranchers and farmers might change their tune pretty quick if their ability to sell product hinges on it.

Yeah, there's reason to think they'd accept Canada, and they definitely could, but it's not like an on-switch thing.

Gaining membership is basically the last step in a long series of reforms which we could be doing either way.

The liquor bottles and flags make good sentries.

I think they are, at least sometimes. I'm not really watching that, and I never understood why they're included. But I like them, Aussies are welcome, as are Canadians.

See, now there's an actual good idea. That shit's like the road system.

You have to pay the current shareholders for it all, though, unless you think Canada can go it totally alone and hated.

Too much of the economy is based around the auto industry, too many social and environmental issues are based around everything structured around cars.

i. Governments throw lots of money toward the car industry, tax cuts for the factories, subsidized wages for the workers.
ii. Owing a car is now becoming more expensive, and you need a new one every 15 years as they don't last long. iii.Car speeds and horse power have now crept up to crazy levels. Beyond any reason of what people need. iv. Car companies are not focused on what people want, safety, instead they keep putting more horse power into cars. v. Massive environmental costs in terms of pollution and sprawl. vi. Oil companies are killing the planet and causing wars.

Almost everything when we talk of the 'real' economy, we mean car factories and oil wells.

Nationalization would improve services. The people's car solves fuck all, and would be a maintenance nightmare.

Economic resilience, removes foreign control from our key resource companies, creates jobs in country to remove American jobs we'll be losing enmasse

Are you unaware of cargo ships and the east coast of Canada?

Yes I know of them. Logistics is the core issue - transport via ships costs money and time. This is why most trade happens between USA, Canada and Mexico in the first place
