Again, I’m seeing a lot about Canada joining the EU. Let me tell you AGAIN why Canada will NEVER join the EU (and why most Canadians have no idea)… Look, a lot of Canadians see the EU and think it sounds nice: strong social programs, easy travel, a big economic bloc, NOT Trump’s America. Some polls even suggest a surprising chunk of us are open to “closer ties” or even open to the idea of joining. But here’s the part almost nobody talks about… and it’s a total deal-breaker: Joining the EU would make our legislatures and courts - federal AND provincial - legally subordinate to Brussels. That’s not opinion. That’s how the EU actually works: - EU law has supremacy over Canadian law. Every single federal statute and every provincial law in areas covered by the EU (trade, environment, agriculture, labour standards, immigration policy, consumer rights, data rules, you name it) would have to give way to theirs. - Our courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada, would be required to follow rulings from the European Court of Justice. If Strasbourg or Luxembourg says a Canadian law is incompatible with EU rules (and they would!), it gets struck down or rewritten. - BOTH Ottawa and the provinces would lose the final say in huge swaths of public policy. Quebec’s language laws, Alberta’s energy rules, Ontario’s manufacturing standards- all of it would sit underneath EU directives and regulations we didn’t write and can’t easily change. For god’s sake, the western province demanded the Notwithstanding Clause in the charter precisely so unelected judges would not have this kind of power and you think 10 provinces- who never agree to anything- would agree to this??? Give your heads a shake. Canada is a sovereign federation with a written Constitution and a clear division of powers between federal and provincial governments. EU membership demands you hand over that sovereignty as the price of entry. You don’t get to cherry-pick. You accept the entire “acquis communautaire- over 100,000 pages of law- and you accept that future changes are decided in Brussels, not here. That’s why it will never happen. Never never NEVER. Not in a million years. Most Canadians who say they’re “open” to it simply don’t know this part. They see the glossy brochure- more trade, less America, free movement, student exchanges, the eurozone glamour- and miss the fine print that says “your parliament and your courts will no longer be the highest authority in your own country.” We already have our own country. We don’t need to become a distant province of Europe. Sovereignty isn’t for sale, even if the sales pitch sounds friendly. 🇨🇦
