Marlaina "Melania" Danielle Smith enters the chat rolling an oil drum

Well hello children! I would like to talk to you about freedom and independence for Alberta sorry I mean Canada. Do we want to become the 28th state of the EU? I certainly don't. I believe in our Canadian freedom to decide to be independent of Canada umm I mean other terrorist lesbian countries like the EU and rebuild and align with our true friends such as the America and the Iraq and the maps and....

We need to convince the 21% sitting on the fence of the benefits of the EU.

They’re contrarians no matter what.

I hope there are not 13 original European members and then 37 more associates join over time and that they change their flag to represent that. It would be too confusing. /s

It would be a constellation, but of what?

I want actual information on wtf that even means anyways unless we're building huge new sea ports?

alsimoneau@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 2d

Huge new sea port. Contrecœur and Churchill, to name 2.

Most Brits do too. Even the dumbass morons who fell for the Brexit bullshit. Canada, do it!

They like the idea because it's vague and fits whatever they imagine it could be.

The minute someone talks about letting the people from Eastern Europe work here they will lose their shit.

The prairies are pretty much entirely populated by eastern Europeans

150 years ago when they were displacing the natives sure.

That history doesn't really matter the minute they have to compete with a Romanian or Pole for a job in the oil fields.

Always arguing in favour of the devil. Last time I saw you arguing in favour of surveillance. Why should anyone trust you?

snoons@lemmy.ca · -1 pts · 2d

Why should anyone trust not block you?

It's not about trust. I'm just telling you how it is.

Ask any blue collar worker here what they think of the TFW program, they don't like it.

It will help that the Europeans are generally white but the complaints will be the same quick enough.

One of the reasons the UK just left the EU is because people were upset about immigration. One of the reasons Trudeau stepped down is because people were pissed about his immigration policies. Canada is in no way special and you will see the right wind this shit up immediately.

The tfw program sucks because they treat the workers like shit disposable drones
