Mark Carney is doing what is a natural thing by extending his hand of friendship to the EU. Canada’s Historic, Social and Economic ties to the EU are as concrete as were our friends down south. English and French Cultures intermingle with a global cultural twist that can only strengthen our nation.

If America wants our products, buy them. Grow up and realize the relationship you once had with your northern partners have faded away due to necessity, American ignorance and greed.

How will this relationship with the EU develop?

1. Strengthen our military alliance with NATO and our European Allies

2. Economic and Financial Products can flow freely between partners.

3. Tariff free economic expressions allow the economy to grow.

4. Hopefully an end to the predatory nature of Canada-American Diplomacy & Economic Trade.

5. EU Membership opens up much of the Caribbean to Canadian Trade.

6. The establishment of a profitable and sound relationship as a part of a Super Power.

Yes Canada can fulfill its global ambitions by becoming a member of the EU. American diplomacy and Ambitions have always placed Canada at a disadvantage. Being Europe’s biright light in the America’s is a good thing.

So long as The Republican Party remains a opportunistic and predatory organization Canada will always be a victim to its Nationalistic Tendencies. When righteous democratic leaders ascend to America’s Oval Office we can again approach friends, neighbors and renewed trading partners.
