Hell, a lot of Americans still have your
banksbacks.I hope that is a typo.

What does it really mean to have each-other’s backs?
I think one thing would be making some agreements in advance when it comes to refugees. Make it easier for Canadians to escape to the EU if the US does something stupid, and make it easier for Europeans to move to Canada if Russia does something crazy.
Other than that, I don’t know what immediate steps could really be done. I’d love it if Canada would adopt some of the European privacy regulations, ditching the American-style laws currently in effect. But, a lot of things wouldn’t be easy to change. Our cars, appliances, construction techniques, electricity voltages, plug designs, etc. are all very American-style, and those kinds of things have a lot of momentum.
But, I don’t really see a downside to making the movement of people a little easier. I think plenty of Canadians would love to live and work in Europe. I think a fair number of Europeans would love to live and work in Canada – at least once Canada finally adopts proper vacation lengths, parental leave laws, etc.

Hey, Canada! Have you considered EU membership?
That would actually be hilarious
And not even impossible. The EU council and commission can basically freely decide if a state counts as “European”.
I think the biggest hurdle might be that Canada would immediately be the 5th most powerful member state because of their population.
As the EU mostly does not decide population based but with equal votes per country that wouldn’t be an issue.
The larger issue is the fact that the European and US regulations clash in a lot of things so it would be harder for Canadian companies to export to the US then.
But otherwise: We would absolutely welcome you.
Canada-US trade agreements not looking so binding ATM.
If the orange turd rips it up at will, the Canadian government should too
We didn’t know we had that option. But hell yeah… what do we have to do? Make Google and Apple put a “West Europe” label over Canada?
“West West Europe”
Fuck trump. Canadians are our friends and family.
Let’s see… The UK…who needed America to get involved to end WW2 and France who are literally a meme for surrendering these days (despite having the greatest military track record of any nation still standing).
I’m sure they got your back. Lol.

Listen I would give Canada some nukes, but something tells me America is currently not inclined to give Canada anything lol.

Yes thank you captain obvious. I know how mutually assured destruction works.
I am very aware that both the UK and France have nukes. The way he worded his comment I thought he was talking about America giving Canada nukes, but the UK and/or France make more sense given the hypothetical posed by the original post. I was responding to the comment while I was on the phone. Divided attention n all that.
Dont talk down to people like that. Its condescending and you have no idea how intelligent anyone actually is based off one comment. You know what they say about making assumptions.
Something something we all get some ass.
They don’t even have their own backs. Look at their military spending. It’s pretty low.
They have nukes as defence.
Nukes don’t replace boots on the ground.
Nobody cared about boots on the ground when MAD Theory kept the Cold War cold.
