Not while Trudeau is Prime Minister.

Hasn't it been in the works for a decade or so now?

what does this agreement do again?

vgh......

Gives them a Union to compete with the US and EU.

Gross it's will never happend but if it does I'm moving to france

>compete

in the same way a special ed class allows someone with a learning disability to study in the same building as other children

I dislike CANZUK for multiple reasons.
1. No one ever clearly states what it is supposed to be because each option has some major fucking flaws.
>Is it just free trade agreements?
in which case why would britain prioritise free trade agreements which aren't even particularly economically beneficial with small markets far away in favour of more opportunistic and weighty ones?
>its also has freedom of movement
but why would New Zealand want to give 100m canadians and Brits unfettered access to their country? why did we win back control of our borders to lose it again
>It's also some sort of federation
and this is where tihngs get really whacky. If we have to make joint decisions on things like the EU, how do we ensure our interests are aligned? Australia, NZ and Canada are all resource extractive economies with much more important partners than the UK. The UK is a service based economy, with some manufacturing that requires intermediate goods from europe.
How are economic interests aligned? If we conflict over decisions, any anglo-brotherhood feeling we currently have would be mired in disagreements over which way decisions should go.
Additionally what would this look like - would 4 million kiwis have an equal say to 4 million mancunians and brummies (thus losing their sovereignty)? would they have a stronger say than 4 million mancuians and brummies (as a sovereign country)?
>yeah but anglo culture
what does this actually look like? parades? why does this need to be an economic-strategic priority for the UK?
>it will make our countries more powerful as a bloc
and this is where it gets even more vexed. Essentially the criteria for this bloc is
>has the queen as head of state
>and is majority white
because there are commonwealth realms that are richer than parts of the UK that are not even remotely considered part of CANZUK.
So by essentially racially discriminating against them, we could very easily lose clout with India and emerging commonwealth countries in Africa

Antigua and Barbuda must be part of CANZUK.

Currently CANZUK proposals only consider the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
Many countries have been provisionally disqualified on account of not having the queen as head of state (eg india or singapore) or simply being too poor (eg Papua New Guinea or Tuvalu)

However Antigua and Barbuda's disqualification is apparently due to it's low gdp per capita and it's high murder rate.

These grounds are incorrect;
GDP (ppp) per capita:
of non-canzuk commonwealth realms (ie the Queen rules them):
Bahamas - £26k
St Kitts and Nevis - £24.6k
Antigua and Barbuda - £23.2k
GDP per capita of fully fledged CANZUK members
Northern Ireland - £19.5K
Wales - £20.5k

So Antigua & Barbuda is richer than Wales and Norhern Ireland in PPP terms.

Ok so what about murder rates?
antiguaobserver.com/2019-records-lowest-murder-rate-in-10-years-minor-crimes-increased-police-stats-say/

2019 there were only 3 murders in Antigua.

Why can Antigua not be part of CANZUK? why is it not part of the discussion about CANZUK?

>what it is supposed to be
It’s just another union supposed to chase after the US, just like the EU tried to do. The big benefit for the UK is preferred access to Asia and the Americas via the others. That’s it. Everything else would end up looking more or less the same dynamics as you had in the EU albeit maybe less because you’re all at least productive Anglos.

>Why can Antigua not be part of CANZUK? why is it not part of the discussion about CANZUK?
Cuz they are black

Euros are tosspots though

Good thing America declared independence from the Europeans then
