CNBC is over the top insulting zionazis this morning. "The west needs US to control Greenland for its security". When there is no pushback on the pure lie that China and Russia are about to invade the furthest place on earth to them, with the most expensive resource extraction, then there can be no pushback on invading any country, ally or not, because, while most countries have China as biggest trading partner, it is always a threat for them to move from number 2 to number 1.
The US is about to collapse. In Canada's case the strongest basis for refusal to be a US territory (Statehood not actually on table) is the US's huge debt burden. But quality of life healthcare/education system corruption, as Bernie points out, would make any states willing to become a Canadian province much better off. One path to US collapse is States escaping federal debt through secession and "irreconsilable differences" on fascism and Zionazi first rule warmongering.
But when colonies don't push back on the main lie behind US wars (Venezuela had CIA lies about election fairness and legitimacy of governance. Iran propaganda is calling Mossad rioting terrorists peaceful protestors), the the colonies are just gaslighting their people in a "stages of grief" bribery delay tactic towards acceptance of a more perfectly subservient colony.
We really should drop almost all trade/travel boarders between Canada/United States/Europe/Australia and New Zealand. Have one large economic zone. The US and England are the stumbling blocks to this.
Sorry but we in Europe don't want chicken raised up in filth so that it must be chlorinated and even then still has much higher levels of salmonela, beef with hormones affecting the growth of young people (and making the meat shit) or chemicals allowed into public use under the principle of "it can be sold until proven bad" rather than the principle "it has to be proven not bad before it can be sold".
In other words, we're fine with our higher life expectancy and better health outcomes and don't want to suffer the consequences of shit American-style "regulation".
Dropping European trade borders would be horrible, especially with America: stuff isn't more expensive to produce in Europe because Europeans are shit at growing/making them, they're more expensive to produce here because we actually have consumer protection standards which have costs to be obbeyed rather than the Free For All of America (and to a lesser extent of most other Anglo-Saxon countries) were pretty much everything goes for maximum profits for corporates even at the cost of fucking everybody else.
This is the problem with creating a meaningful trading zone right now ... trying to get the U.S. to meaningful participate and forward.
