Well, truth be told, the European Union is up and coming while the American Empire is in decline. The EU economy is now larger than that of the USA's.
How do you like those apples.
If Canada were to forge closer ties with the EU, so much the better as far as I am concerned. We need to lessen our dependence on trade with Uncle Sam and Europe and Asia are definitely where it is at.
Socially, Canadians think more like Europeans, and Economically, the US has been in trouble for 5 years and showing no signs of changing anytime soon.
Canada should join the EU in fact. Wouldn't that be a kick!!
