Mark Carney has been Prime Minister for almost 2 weeks, and parliament is not in session. Had Trudeau called back parliament, the Conservatives would have forced an election and we would be right back where we are now.
Ask them if they are offended that Cyprus is in the EU, even though it's in Asia. Or ask if it's OK that Turkey may be joining.
Some people just like to argue, and if they are really butthurt "because the name", then they probably aren't worth debating the point. It's a name that already encompasses countries that are not in Europe.
Sure, but the counter argument to that is Europe has lots of people, and Canada has lots of space. We could do something with all the empty space we have, and build industry. We would have a potential ready supply of workers to build the infrastructure we would need to settle some of the empty space and build industry, that could then export goods back to the EU.
It was someone in the EU that pointed out that the requirement to be European doesn't have a strict definition. Cyprus is a member, but not in Europe because it was found to be 'European in culture'. Turkey is in Asia and is currently negotiating entry. I believe there are others as well, not in Europe.
Geographically speaking, we share a close sea border with France and a land border with Denmark, the latter even if only technically.
Politically, while the UK is no longer a part of the EU, it gives us much closer ties to Europe. Our Monarch is European. We have close ties to the UK in our system of government. Culturally, we are very aligned with Europe in general.
I know a gun owner who should not have one. He legit scares me, and i know one day he's going to pop off. However, to date, being an incel creep with despicable ideas isn't enough to prevent him from owning. He follows every rule and law while gleefully fantasizing about the day he can finally use his stockpile against the evil pedo Liberals in government and at the CBC.
He should not have a gun, but there is no legal reason to prevent him from having one.
Anyone over the age of 55 needs to be in an advisory role, not a leadership role. It is literally the same fucking leadership today as it was 20 years ago.
I had the same issue. I finally told my family if being in contact with me is important to them, they needed to be willing to use another tool.
I posted a message saying it was being deleted and provided alternative contact methods. Bumped it a couple of times and deleted it.
The end result is i found out who really cared about me, and i have fewer toxic people in my life.
