And bring <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> along for the ride. The future of Western democracies, minus our idiot half-brother, is very bright. Without Europe as a beacon, many of the advances we have collectively made in responsible government and human development are at peril.</p><p>It is 2025, Russia is invading European democracies and the United States is going through a political crisis that even Tom Clancy wouldn't have cooked up.</p><p>This is a cautionary tale that we have all been learning from. Our ties are strong and I am certain that sentiment on this side of the Atlantic is very appreciative of our Allies who are beginning to act like the great powers that they truly are.</p><p>Just imagine a world without an EU that has an independent foreign policy and military capacity and the urgency of your project becomes apparent.</p><p>Canada should do everything it can to support the EU, not only because it is right, but because it's in our own narrow self interest.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/boycottusa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boycottusa</span></a></p>
