    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 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

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

      I’m going to be honest here, as an American I fully support you in this and hope the best for Canada. Many of us totally understand the resentment and know that our government and republican party asked for this. I hope the boycotts work and I hope they send the clearest message back. At the same time I don’t have much faith I our leadership to react rationally.

        I wish I didn’t have to, because it was literally better for everyone. Two of the closest countries in history, at odds in the course of a month. It sucks.
