Canada is not part of Europe. The EU charter would require rewriting, and thats unlikely to happen.

Capitalists are gonna have a meltdown when we'll have to implement the 4 weeks minimum paid vacation, banked overtime with a yearly limit, bretter minimum wage, tougher regulations on food and environment protection. Etc.

Fun fact, Canadians can legislate these things on our own, without having to also adopt a whole bunch of European dysfunction.

Actually, it's a prerequisite for getting into the European dysfunction.

Why does everyone think it's a binary choice somehow?

Yet i can get behind this framework as something good for the population. It’s like a NDP program but more realistic and with economic growth with our peers as a target.

This year (most years) i will vote Liberal but i did vote NDP on and off in the past and my circumscription changes from red to orange often in the last two decades.

I've always been an NDP voter but my anxiety about Cons winning might push a liberal vote from me this time. I don't love it, but I am also just terrified.

It's a shame really. I'm not a fan of PP by any means. But he's right when he says it's going to be more of the same, i fear.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

That is my fear. I don't want more of the same. I want less immigration but neither party is running on that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I think the Liberals learned their lesson on immigration, hence the aggressive cuts recently

I’ll probably get called entitled, but even 3 weeks isn’t enough, and I know that’s more than many people get.

It's ridiculous. And 2 days of paid sick days per year? Like wtf

Fucking worth the extra taxes. The EU isn't perfect, but they're still sane enough to back.

Ya, I bet those aren't the people in favour.

We need stronger ally relationships, considering things are going south with our Southern ally!

This is going to be so funny for Britain.

They have their Commonwealth of Nations to develop further. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations

Why would this be surprising given the state of things?
