Is the EU the True Salvation for Canadians?

Baiting The Left Great Moments In Socialism If Women Ran The World 36 Comments

Remember the old adage, “Be careful what you wish for”? Well, a constant refrain of more than a few Canadians is to stick it to America and instead look to the EU for their future salvation. Has this plan been well thought out by, what I’ll loosely call, the usual suspects?

Maybe they should pause for a few minutes and listen to this recent speech by Frau Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission. Or just read this summary.

Do Canadians really want their life savings managed by this woman and her apparatchiks?!

  1. “About €10 trillion in household savings sits in bank deposits.”
    “Critics have framed the language and the “supervise them / put them to work” framing as the EU targeting private savings.”
    I don’t see any mention of public employee pension funds being put to this use. Suspicious.

    1. If it is like here, the biggest public sector pensions such as the Federal government are pay as you go, no fund exists. Teachers are lefties, they should have no objection to Ursula putting Ontario Teachers PP to “work”. LMAO.

    2. Household savings don’t sit in bank deposits. Banks use that money to buy stocks and bonds or is lent out to businesses or for mortgages.

      It basically all tied up and difficult to liquidate in a timely manner, especially during a bank run.

      “A bank run occurs when a large number of depositors simultaneously withdraw their funds from a financial institution due to fears that the bank may become insolvent or fail. This mass withdrawal creates a liquidity crisis because banks operate on a fractional reserve system, meaning they keep only a small fraction of deposits as cash and lend out [or invest] the rest, leaving them unable to meet immediate demand.”

  2. Sure, no wonder the EU appeals to the left, LIEberals, Marx Carnage, et all.
    It’s Undemocratic, most people call that a Dictatorship.
    Von Der Leyen is an Appointed Dictator.
    She comes from a family of Nazi heritage, coincidentally, like Frau Freeland.
    The left, the historical defender of “Democracy” lusts for power as Autocrats, like the EU, like Ukraine.
    There’s nothing like “protecting democracy” by banning opposition parties, banning oppo media and cancelling elections for “as long as it takes”.
    This is what Carnage wants.

  3. Europe does not believe in stock markets. Europe is comprised of small and medium sized businesses that rely on credit from a bank/investment bank. These small and medium sized businesses don’t use a stock market to raise equity funds. The oligarchs/aristocrats own the banks/investment banks. That is how their society is structured so the oligarchs/aristocrats run the show.

    That said, these funds that von der lying is referring to are used by the oligarchs/aristocrats to lend to the small and medium sized businesses borrowing from them. That is the normal practise of a bank.

    Clearly, von der lying is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the public. The Gross Domestic Product is not growing in europe because of government regulation. Lack of funding is not the problem. Lack of profitability is the problem. Over regulation strangles profitability. These european funds look to other stock markets and other jurisdictions to invest in.

    As a side note, all the european leaders that claim to matter are bankers. They are not jewish. They are against the jews because jews are better bankers than they are.

    1. The Rothchilds are Jewish and second only to the Wallenbergs, who at least sound Jewish in money and power within Europe. They are against principled Jews.

      1. Those european leaders that claim to matter “work” for the Rothchilds and Wallenbergs. Those european leaders that claim to matter are not jewish. Their bosses are.

        Those european leaders that claim to matter are cheezed off that their bosses are smarter than they are. Those european leaders have created a mess and don’t want to ask their bosses how to fix things.

      1. https://www.newfinancial.org/reports/the-problem-with-european-stock-markets

        …The paper argues that this complexity is one of the main reasons why European equity markets are under-developed, shrinking, and punching below their weight on the global stage…

        Didn’t your search show results like this?

        1. You’re talking about stock markets; I’m saying Europe is not solely comprised of small and medium-sized businesses, nothing more.

      2. You cite a number of large, successful, and long-established companies. Now consider new companies. @DouglasCarswell posted in February 2025 (I’m not on X, can’t give the exact date),
        “Home Depot is worth more than all the European start ups created in the past 50 years combined. Home Depot.”
        BTW, how is VW doing these days?

  5. A thinner Freeland. I remember Freeland mention that citizen’s savings and equity should be put to work.

  6. The Economic and Cultural Dump that is Europe.
    Carney’s Shining Lights and Saviors in the East are doing a remarkable job sustaining their native cultures in the face of Biden-level illegal immigration. Check daily headlines from Europe for rapes and murders. Electricity costs are 2 – 5x what they are in North America and their manufacturing is leaving for more competitive environments. Germany now wants to outlaw the AfD party because so many Germans support it.

    Hell, they can’t even save themselves.

  7. I haven’t heard anyone talk of Canada joining the EU, and I doubt it’ll ever happen. The EU would have to change its own charter, for as it stands it’s limited to European states.

    Far simpler for Canada to deepen its trade agreements with the EU and to form multiple partnerships with it.

    1. The simplest solution would be to flog our [spit] Prog politicians (all 338 of them) & start afresh with our main business partner. Of course, that would require all of them to pull their heads out of their asses, an occurence unlikely to happen.

        2. No, our main business partner, who is also our main military partner, got tired of us cheating and abusing him and told us to f*** off until we agreed to stop.

          We will not get general access to sell into the US market until we agree to stop the cheating and act on it. The Yanks will buy what they want and need from us but nothing more. They will not necessarily buy what we want to sell them, no matter how much we lower the price.

          To start with, we’ll need at least 2 years of proper spending on NATO commitments, without the BS book-keeping cheats we’ve already tried. https://nationalpost.com/news/government-reaches-2-nato-spending-target-keeping-ambitious-promise.

          The Yanks want to sell us dairy and I cannot get my head around a reason why Canadians want to protect 9000 fat-cat, monopolist, wealthy, high income Canadian farmers rather than get lower prices.

          1. And what cheating is that?

            Keep in mind that the dairy and poultry quotas are in the USMCA. Trump agreed to them. You may not like those quotas, but they are not cheating.

    2. Yeah, nothing like aligning with the EU that has seen its GDP as a percent of world GDP cut in half in the last 20 years…..and still falling. Jumping out of the lifeboat onto the deck of the Titanic.

    3. If you read between the lines , Canada under its current leadership along with the minions seem to be one in the same .
      One big collective of globalist morons.

  8. The EU is Hitler’s revenge. The grandkids of the Nazis are goose-stepping over Europe. My father went to war to defeat these crazy bastards. The EU isn’t a trade deal. It’s Nazis Part II.

    1. Hitler’s revenge? Not Stalin’s? Not Napoleon’s? Hell, this could be Gustavus Adolphus settling grudges.

  9. Seriously? The investments I have in stocks, bonds, and money market accounts are just … sitting there? Doing nothing? Either this HEAD of the EU is economically illiterate herself … or she believes she can speak to economically illiterate voters who are uneducated and clueless about all things economic?

    1. Exactly. Germany are also talking about negative interest rates… I.E. you’ll have to pay to put money away. So I’m not sure what they are after, maybe make the population pay for the next bank bailout out of their “savings”.

    2. The EU considers itself royalty.
      They rule by birthright (or by having friends in the right places)
      They still think Charles Stuart got a bum rap and that the common folk can’t be trusted.

  11. CanaDUH DEMANDS this. because the post national state’ is jam packed with string puppet skcufbmud.
    l have LONG since given up. my longest tenat a kaybecker and HARD CORE Liberal voter.
    no
    matter
    what.
    it took the wynnedfarm catastrophe the only time he voted against them.
    l saw first hand the blind obedience and TDS effects that liberalism fosters.
    nothing whatsoever on the horizon to change things. l fully expect next 20 years if l live that long will alternate between Lib minorities and Lib majorities.

  12. Carney’s campaign slogan can be

    Make Canada a Colony Again

    Of course if you ask the folks he hobnobs with they still consider the US an experiment that is doomed to descend into anarchy any moment now (a moment they have been waiting 250 years for) and those ignorant boobs will be begging them to come back and take control once again.

  14. If they were able to move Turkey into the North Atlantic, they could damned well move Canada into the EU.
