Geoff Russ: Canada must reforge its relationship with its oldest friend, Britain nationalpost.com/opinion/geo…

RT @BWeberD: The future belongs to nations willing to stand together. @CANZUK offers Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom…

I'd say CANZUK. What about you?

🟢 Same Head of State 🟢 Same Westminster-style parliaments 🟢 Same majority language 🟢 Shared historical ties 🟢 Common culture Just some of the similarities that the CANZUK countries share more than any other nations on earth. It's time for a CANZUK alliance 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧

CANZUK > EU Associate Membership

"Ultimately, CANZUK has the trust premium the EU could never offer Ottawa. Plus, it’s far easier to coordinate four states of 150 million people than 27 states of 450 million." 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧 spectator.com/article/mark-c…

Canada exports more to the UK than to the EU Canada should be striving for #CANZUK - closer ties btw Canada, Australia, NZ & UK Cooperating on defence, trade, movement of workers etc 4 lands with a shared heritage, culture, monarchy, institutions, laws, beliefs, etc 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧

Have I got a group for you! Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK already share compatible cultures and very similar institutions. That makes C-A-NZ-UK coordination costs structurally lower than for any other group of democracies. The commercial case is simple: lower the barriers and businesses grow across all four — while each country keeps its own parliamentary sovereignty. We can act commercially like one economy and still promote free trade with other democracies (including the US if they don’t tariff us) and with others where it makes sense. Grow the economies together. Keep the politics and sovereignty separate. It works because we are fundamentally more alike than we are with even our closest friends outside #CANZUK.

Fantastic piece by Lord @DanielJHannan, one of Britain’s leading conservative thinkers. The true ‘special relationship’ is between Britain and Canada “Canada, a country which truly does share our values, is being subjected to an effective blockade. This is not about trade, but about pique at the nation’s polite rejection of Trump’s demand that it become his 51st state. “We can be in no doubt as to whom we back. It is not just that Canada is the wronged party, nor that the US is tearing up a trade deal which Trump himself negotiated and described as “the fairest, most balanced and beneficial deal we have ever signed into law. “No, it is that Canada, not the US, is the country that shares (Britain’s) values.”

Excellent article by our former President. We need #CANZUK. It will magnify the diplomatic, economic and military strength of the four realms. We are the closest countries in the world (in all but geography). In the face of China, Russia and an unstable US, we need CANZUK now.

High Commissioner Hamish Cooper was pleased to meet Baroness Winterton following her attendance at the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting in Palau. 🇬🇧🇳🇿🌏

Delighted to meet with Baroness Winterton, the UK’s new Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State responsible for the Indo-Pacific. Our countries’ prosperity, security & resilience depend on a peaceful Indo-Pacific. Look forward to working closely together. @FCDOGovUK

The world is changing, and nations are no longer acting alone but in alliances to advance their mutual economic agendas. Canada, Australia, New Zealand & the UK must now seize the opportunity to work together, and be a collective force for security and prosperity. 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧

Built on trust and shared strategic interests, AUKUS continues to strengthen cooperation between Australia, the UK and the US. 🇦🇺 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
