   Man, I'd love if Canada became part of Schengen and had freedom of movement for workers as well.

      I'd love if my EU passport allowed me work and living rights in Canada

      1. _ink_ · 1789656468 · focus · HN ↗

         That's what I meant with freedom of worker movement, not sure what's the correct term is.

         Canadians aren’t going to vote for the reduced wages and worse conditions which several million EU workers will come with. This whole rhetoric is treating Canadians as if they’re metropolitan and worldly when for the most part a good 50% of them are like Americans but even more protectionist and insular, IMO.

            None of these two partners benefit from mass migration because both of them actually need more workers.

            Also a trade partnership is not a zero sum game. Can also be that everybody will benefit by more trade, more cooperation and more exchanges for young people.

      Also EU can exposer some of their asylum seekers to Canada as well

               Immigrants in Canada have a higher labor force participation rate than Canadian born citizens do.

               When the wave of Syrians arrived a few years ago, most quickly got jobs. Many of them started working for businesses started by the Lebanese diaspora from the 80's.

                     I bet my Lebanese and Persian neighbors pay far more taxes than you do. (They're all lawyers and doctors).

                  We mostly cherry-picked the educated Syrians, though. While I broadly support immigration, we're fresh off a backlash of the student visa abuse. We need to tread carefully.

            As much as I wish that were the case, the recent episode with students and their deportation suggests otherwise.

            Please keep nationalistic flamebait off this site. It leads to nationalistic flamewar, which is some of the hottest, dumbest, and most avoidable flamewar that exists.

         Whether are in favour of or against taking in asylum seekers, sharing that burden&#x2F;responsibiltiy between partners would definitely be what people want

         1. gizajob · 1789724901 · focus · HN ↗

            Canadian people wouldn’t want that.

            1. jacquesm · 1789726460 · focus · HN ↗

               Canada already takes in its share of asylum seekers.

         You&#x27;re making me jealous, now I&#x27;m thinking it really was a mistake to piss off Canada :D

         No need to send everyone back southbound or to the middle-east when we could have been sending them northbound instead!

         Oh Canada, won&#x27;t you please reconsider? We&#x27;re giving you our doctors and engineers! They&#x27;re just on welfare temporarily, I promise!

      Schengen isn&#x27;t necessary for freedom of movement, FWIW
