     @BioSchweiz

     Well, #Canada is still part of a European, #UK-based #Commonwealth, for one thing.

     Then, there is #CETA. And #NATO.

     Maybe #EuropeanUnion might not be an appropriate term anymore, maybe #TransatlanticUnion would be more appropriate?

     In fact, I favor #CEUM, for the time being.
     An #FTA, similar, to how the #EoropeanCommunity got started, back in the day.

     @HistoPol @Snowshadow@mastodon. Am I missing something here? Canada is not actually in Europe?

     This, you must ask the negotiators of the current FTAs (see other post of mine.)
     MEX and CAN are already negotiated.

     @HistoPol @BioSchweiz @Snowshadow *drops 1 Euro into #CanadaJar *
     How come Jamaica and Kenya aren't invited into this "European" Commonwealth/theme park with FTAs?

     @HistoPol @BioSchweiz @Snowshadow Are you American by any chance? Because I have no problem with non-Europeans so thoroughly misunderstanding the EU, you do you.

     (That whirring sound you hear? That's "Saint" Robert Schuman spinning in his grave if you ARE European and refer to the CECA as an "FTA"...)

     #CETA

     Whatever this "CECA" might be that you're referring to, "CETA is a free trade agreement between Canada and the EU," as the Canadian government puts it, too:

     ...but thank you for your perspective. I can now imagine how many of #CharlesDeGaulle's contemporaries must have felt, when he put forth his bold visions for a united Europe of sovereign states after World War II:

     @BioSchweiz

     #DefenseUnion #CEUM

     You are asking an absolutely decisive question: who can lead Europe?

     Alas, so far there is no-one one the horizon. I recently phased it differently, looking at #DeGaulles European policy:

     "Alas, #Macron is no visionary, precognitive leader like Président #CharlesDeGaulle was. With today's hindsight, he rightly distrusted the #Americans:..."

     @HistoPol @Veza85UE @Snowshadow who plays the deGaulle in this modern version, since You’re refering to him?
