I mean the counter tarrifs we put in place are mostly designed specifically to target red states. Still boycotting as much as I possibly can stuff made in the US though, as well American companies. I'd love a closer bond to the EU

Macron proposed a multi-speed Europe, with countries like Norway, Switzerland and UK being of the lowest 'speed'. Totally think Canada should apply for that 🇪🇺

I'd fucking loooove that. I'd happily adopt the euro

[–] manucode@infosec.pub 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think the Euro would primarily be for countries in the inner circle with exceptions made for microstates like San Marino or Andorra which already use the Euro. I'm not sure if adopting the Euro would provide much benefit to Canada. Membership in the European Economic Area (EEA, basically the single market), or some light version of the single market, might make more sense for Canada.

Well those are fair for sure, I'm just saying that I don't mind removing the royalty from our currency

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There’s no need to adopt another currency.

Sure, but I'd love to not have a king or queen on my money

Sorry to disappoint, but each country can choose their own coin design and there are quite a few monarchs.

  • Belgium
  • Netherlands
  • Spain
  • Luxembourg
  • Monaco

Doesn't mean we couldn't get rid of him all the same though!
