    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

        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.
