    > US President Donald Trump earlier called the idea "laughable" and threatened "very serious tariffs" on Europe if he considered it a "hostile act".

    So if Canada tries to make friends with anyone other than the US, it's a hostile act?

    Makes it all the more obvious that USA is Canada's abusive partner, that they should have broken up with a long time ago.

      Agreed, and the possibility of visa free travel to the EU, plus the removal of live/work barriers is appealing. The USA really comes off as the spurned ex that calls you drunk in the middle of the night.

        is it not visa free already for most of the states anyway?

          Yes but with that you’d be able to have a work permit as well!
