  • So? Ever heard of colonialism? Greenland and French Guiana are European too. So are the Dutch islands in the Caribbean. Many parts of the world were European once. French Guiana is a part of the European Union where it’s inhabitants get EU passports and pay with the euro. The Netherlands and France share a border, on the island of Saint Martin. Canada was European too when it was a part of the Commonwealth. Let them join again but this time independent.


  • Ah, but old vehicles are listed as oldtimers and therefore rules apply only limited. But modern cars which aren’t up to standard to EU regulations are not allowed on the road. And because US standards are different, many American cars, even European cars made for export to the Americas, may not meet EU standards. Also, developing countries have a period to adjust to EU standards but Canada isn’t a developing country so it cannot enjoy those exemptions.

    Food regulations are indeed drastically different. Crops used in the US and Canada are not up to EU standards. Switching is nearly impossible due to nasty Monsanto patents. When you used it once on your land, or a neighbor used it and pollen blew over to your crops, you’re forced to use Monsanto crops or face being sued into bankruptcy.

    Maybe build a wall and make the US pay for it eh. Australia is already watching and joined eurovision, where the hell is Canada? At least Celine Dion already won once, that counts for something, right buddy?


  • I’m not into pirates, Black Flag was structurally a proper and balanced game. I have played every AC game up to Valhalla, after that I wa done with the crappy gameplay. Sure, I might not understand the game, even though I played it since the beginning and loved the out of animus story next to the in animus stories (with black flag being the last good one, with 3 being shit as well), I may not understand any game at all, I’ve only have over 700 games in my steam library not counting all the other launchers.

    At least you’re happy with poorly developed money grab games with endless collectibles and massive maps with barily any proper content other then copy paste grinding spots. I expect more from devs and in the past 10 years, if nog more, only Larian Studios truly delivered when it comes to triple A games.

    Short answer: No.

    Long answer: it’s technically impossible as Canada looks a lot like the US in many ways which goes against EU regulations. For instance, if Canada would join the EU, many cars won’t be allowed on the road anymore due to EU road safety laws. Same shit with food production. It doesn’t meet EU standards, which means most Canadian food production cannot be sold, so most farms would need to drastically change or go bankrupt. These are just 2 examples of many issues why Canada can’t just join the EU. Best possible outcome would be Schengen economic zone membership. Canada needs to change so drastically before EU membership can even be considered, it is almost, if not completely, impossible.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’d love Canada to join us, I just don’t see how.
