    I don’t think Canada needs the Euro or the Stability and Growth Pact straightjacket. We also don’t need European xenophobic attitudes towards immigration.

    Let’s have a customs union, and let’s have closer integration and cooperation, but let’s keep our independence.

    Signed, a dual citizen.

      European xenophobic attitudes

      You know we’re not all like that, right?

      And Canada also has far-right nutjobs.

        Yup. Like I said, I’m a dual citizen, and I’ve experienced being an immigrant in Canada and it’s nowhere near what immigrants back home experience. But of course, Europe also has strong left and left-of-centre traditions. It just so happens that right now, they’re mostly on the back foot.
