I'm not too sure they'd be such a great fit for the EU, culturally and socially. That sounds like we'd be taking in a Trojan horse.

There's Nigel The Cat aka Nigel Original, then Nigel the Human aka Nigel II... There's a Nigel the Dog too? Oh dear...

How do Canadian companies like tariffs? Just saying, it's not impossible...

I'm.not saying Canada has to take the offer, just that it's something that should be on the table for trump to chew on.

I've said this before, the EU should just invite Canada into the Union.

People have been known to cross the Florida Straight on makeshift rafts, I hear Cuba is very nice this time of year.

Trying to machine parts for a gun with "a bit of electrical know how" sounds like suicide by stupidity to me. Especially if you're going to DIY the ammo as well...

IP block it. Boom there goes eSNI and DNS.

Sure, it's crude, but again: it doesn't have to perfect, it just needs to create havoc with Google services to push away a regular user, who has no idea what DNS even is.

A better approach though is to fine Google, with a % of revenue increasing until compliance. They'll very quickly be incentivised to comply or shutdown.

See, "I'm not gonna smack you across the face, but I totally could if I wanted to and you can't do shit about it" might not be the best way to clear your reputation as a bully.

Nah. Demanding the ISPs to block traffic to Google domains would be quite effective.

This isn't like the great firewall of chine where you want to prevent absolutely all traffic. If you make it inconvenient to use, because CSS breaks or a js library doesn't load or images breaslk, its already a huge step into pushing it out of the market.

Enterprise market would be much harder, a loooot of EU companies rely on Google's services, platforms and apps, and migrating away would take a lot of time and money.

To be fair, we're halfway through this decade and it's been harder than 90's, 00's and 10's combined.

Ok that one wins
