Se il Canada vuole un piano B per il commercio, l’Europa potrebbe essere la risposta

As Canada further pursues European relations, remember to vote with your wallet. While the tariffs onto Europe are built on the newly formed American-Russo alliance and so called “America First”, the tariffs onto Canada aren’t just protectionist. It’s [imperialist](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5071665-trump-economic-force-canada/).

Buy European, and if you can’t, buy Canadian, but try to never buy from Washington.

#PRÉCIS: Could Canada’s Future Lie with Europe?

As trade tensions between Canada and the United States continue, Europe is emerging as an increasingly attractive partner. With the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) in place since 2017, trade between Canada and the EU has flourished, growing by more than 65 percent in goods and nearly 73 percent in services. Yet despite this success, some European politicians have floated an even bolder idea—Canada joining the European Union itself. While such a political union remains unlikely, experts argue that deeper economic ties could offer Canada a vital Plan B.

The EU and Canada are naturally complementary trading partners. Canada is rich in raw materials that Europe needs, from minerals to fertilisers, while Europe manufactures the industrial machinery that helps extract those resources. As the EU embarks on green and digital transitions, demand for Canadian expertise in clean technologies and sustainable supply chains is growing. With trade diversification more urgent than ever—particularly in the wake of former US President Donald Trump’s tariffs—European markets present a stable and lucrative alternative.

Despite strong trade growth, obstacles remain. CETA is still awaiting full ratification, with ten EU member states, including France and Italy, yet to approve it. Meanwhile, EU regulations, particularly around supply chains and environmental standards, are becoming stricter. While this may create hurdles, it also opens doors for Canadian businesses that already meet high labour and sustainability benchmarks.

Rather than dreaming of full EU membership, Canada’s focus should be on strengthening and expanding its existing partnership. Updating economic studies, encouraging greater business engagement, and capitalising on Europe’s evolving markets could solidify Canada’s foothold in the region. With nearly 450 million consumers, the EU offers not just an alternative to the US, but a wealth of opportunities waiting to be seized.

France is still trying to kill the deal Canada already has…

I can’t say much about international trade, I think it’s a good idea as a Canadian and I think we should be pursuing closer ties with other, better allies. I can tell you I personally have sold off the majority of my US-based investments and put that money into Canada, Europe, and Asia instead. I feel like the US as we knew it is dead.

Honestly, I would love Canada and EU tech to disrupt American tech. Blackberry returns, Nokia returns, everyone uses Linux as an OS. Privacy is the western priority. Watch as Americans shit themselves.

(Edit) Yes there are probably a dozen better companies to reference. I’m tired.

Canada, you are our brethren. Love from a UK resident.

Canada should replace Hungary in the eu.

They should rip up nafta and do a. New one with Europe
