Canada would be happy with most if not all of Europe’s privacy laws once we choose to ignore US interest.

Quebec has some decent parental leave and the current federal government (Liberal-NDP) wants a nationwide implementation.

Electricity could stay different just like UK didn’t use the Euro when they where member. Most other laws should be Europe inspired even if we ‘compete’ with the US deregulation. I would love agriculture related laws to be harmonized to the high standard in Europe.

I was kind of expecting this, thanks for your honesty. Many people in Canadian sub talk about NATO’s article 5, but the truth is nobody can send military gear to the nose of US navy and aviation across the Atlantic. An article 5 would be nationalization of US asset in Europe, reversing all investment in the US and maybe expelling the US from military bases in Germany. Not much would be done on Canadian ground.

Free media and journalists encouraged to dig deep and challenge things is a big part of democracy.

There’s a pattern of brewing menace on a Friday afternoon only to downplay them on Monday. Or it’s just me reading too much out of this chaos?

There isn’t room for multiple social media in my life and i will try with only Lemmy for a few months. I did came from r/BuyCanadian with curiosity more than the US boycott in mind. I plead guilty!

When can we expel the US ambassador until they stop with this 51st state nonsense? I don’t even see the point of discussing Nafta 3.0 if the clown can’t respect his own signature. We will take the temporary 30% cut to gdp and emerge stronger in a few years.

Responding in a slow pace is a feature not a bug : the toddler in chief will get bored and might go get is dopamine with another target, while we redirect export elsewhere
