Why? Even Harper has come out, strongly, that it was in our best interest to walk away. Mulroney and Harper have been the two most pro-US PM’s we ever had and the only one left living has said walking away was the best decision.

So the joining of the JEF in essence would live on if the US pulled out of NATO and we would be part of an 11 nation coalition HQ'd in the UK built around a 10k rapid deployment force, who's primary focus would the Arctic, North Sea, Scandinavia and the Baltic security. Does that summarize it?

Yet another Quebecois seeking the limelight and making it all about them!

Not me, I've never been against foreign investment (exception being some Chinese in certain industries). We've lacked the chutzpah to do it ourselves for the last 3ish decades. Our banks are case in point, very risk adverse for CDN projects, too worried about NIMBYism and upsetting this group or...

So you think that if Trump hadn't gone after us the PP would not have won the election and Carney would be the PM?

Yes, quite the back log

The reality is 2 things - 1) We don't know at this time re the EU and; 2) If Trump hadn't gone after us, leaving us and the Mexicans alone, PP would have won the election and the whole EU question wouldn't even be on the agenda.

At the same time, anyone around the world who can prove that a direct relative was born in Canada and lived here for 3yrs (I believe that is one of the criteria, though I could be wrong on this part), can petition for CDN citizenship and come and live here as well. So Pavel from Poznan who's...

And any one of those citizenships gives you the right to live in any of the 27 countries of the EU. Irish grandparent, great, go and buy that house in Malaga Spain. Grandpa from Poznan Poland, no problem go buy that winter house in the Algarve Portugal, much cheaper than a place Boca Vista...

What's interesting is that right off the bat the Australians were like, 'Hold on their Mate, we may want to be involved in this too.' Australia, one of the few countries that had a trade DEFICIT with the US but still had a 12.5% tariff rate slapped on all their goods.

Brookfield is a great company overall and a great investment for those looking for a well diversified company with a proven track record and a reliable dividend. Don't knock the company just because sometime in the past our current PM was their CEO. I owned Haliburton in the past and did so...

Agreed - face value, sounds promising. In the end it really could end up being all hat and no cattle.
