Orban has to vote for Canada. Why? His regime will be over in 14 days if he does not get the EU money. Orban’s biggest rival is in first place according to the latest polls. If he wants to be re-elected, he cannot sabotage EU policy.

Earthed Union the EU.

The difference is that Göring, Goebbels and Hitler cared about Germany. Krasnov only cares about Russia.

At no point is the EU “given” power, nor is it taken. However, in the interests of the union in general, many of these treaties have non-negotiable requirements.

If you watch the history of the EU and its predecessor and you will see that the EU became more powerful. It started with a coal and steel union and now it is a defense, free trade, law, financial, and securing democracy partnership. Of course this was implemented because the members wanted it, but I think this will end in a United States of the EU. I do not have a problem with it, but many people (especially the people that are political disenchantment) would not like it.

It is highly unlikely that membership in the EU would automatically include membership in a defence union.

The European Parliament discusses this topic because of Manfred Weber the chairman of the biggest group EPP. Weber showed its interest in this topic in the German political talkshow of Martin Lanz. The biggest advocate of a European army is Macron the French president. He does have a other view of a European army as Weber, but after trying to create a more European army structure for many years he signaled to be willing to talk about it.

Canada would have seats in the European Parliament, respresentation in the the European Commission, and would therefore have some influence on things like interest rate policy.

That is true but the European liberals Renew Europe are not the biggest group in the Parliament. Macrons party lost so many voters to Le Pen (right extremist). The German SPD and Greens lost many voters to the conservative parties. Sweden and Austria shifted to the right as well. The parliament shifted to the right and I think it would not be changed by the Canadians EU election results. The new Icelandic government has now announced that it will hold a referendum on the issue of EU membership by 2027. The polls in Norway becoming more and more positive about joining the EU. This could shift the EP to the left and the centre.

They’ve bullied our government, crippled our industries, and even killed national projects like the Avro Arrow, and yet we still think of ourselves as “independent”.

I do not have enough knowledge of the Canadian history of politics.

In the EU, everything is negotiable except the free trade and free movement

That is not right. Every country must transpose all EU directives into national law. If they fail to do so, they have to pay fines.

Example

The delayed implementation of the EU directive on the protection of whistleblowers into national law is costing Germany dearly. On Thursday, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ordered Germany to pay a fine of 34 million euros to the EU for breaching its obligations. The Luxembourg judges justified the move with the importance of the high level of protection required by the directive for whistleblowers who report breaches of EU law.

…

With its ruling in case C-149/23, the ECJ is complying with a complaint filed by the EU Commission in February 2023. The member states were actually obliged to take the necessary measures to legally comply with the provisions of the directive by the end of 2021. The German government was unable to notify the Commission of implementation because the black-red coalition initially failed to agree on a common line. At the time, the SPD wanted the law to also apply to infringements of German law. This was not just in areas such as financial services and tenders, product and food safety, data protection, the environment and health, which are regulated throughout the EU. CDU and CSU were against it.

BMW, VW and Mercedes. The German Bundesbahn was perfect then the CDU, CSU and FDP killed it due to lobbyism. Now, the politicians suck the cocks of the CEOs of the mentioned companies. SPD and Grüne always say that the Deutsche Bahn needs more money, but they had the chance between 98 and 05. Did they change something? No there was not enough money according to them.

Armin Laschet almost became the German Chancellor, but he missed it due to 1-2% and Boris Pistorius is the current German minister for defence and he is also the most popular German politician at the moment.

He also hates the EU and influenced so many people to achieve his goal with the Brexit.

Trump is just a fake lying rat

He destroyed the reputation of the US in 1,5 months. I think the entire country will lose many jobs, because other countries do not want to buy US products anymore. For example, the European Union thinks about to cancel all F35 orders and to invent a new European jet. Even Erdogan wants to participate in this partnership.

Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, México, European Union and Australia. The best answer against this would be a strategic partnership between these countries. This would be a punch in Trump’s face.

As a German I can say that German teachers and educators are really stressed about their classes with 20-30 Children. We just have not enough teachers and educators to have smaller classes.

I think nobody will ever do the job as a teacher or educator if they have to manage 50 Children. This claim proves that many politicians are not being in touch with their people.
