CANZUK?

[5312]

Have been hearing more about this lately. Would seem like a good idea to me, apart from all being big food producers.

CANZUK: after Brexit, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain can unite as a pillar of Western civilisation

Of all the many splendid opportunities provided by the British people’s heroic Brexit vote, perhaps the greatest is the resuscitation of the idea of a CANZUK Union. Winston Churchill’s great dream of a Western alliance based on three separate blocs might one day live again, thanks to Brexit. The first and second blocs – the USA and a United State of Europe – are already in place. Now it is time for the last – CANZUK – to retake her place as the third pillar of Western Civilization.

Probably not a bad idea, three regions around the world, north and southern hemisphere, no real language barrier, the question is can and will politicians make it work?

A CANZUK free trade agreement would be a massive kick in the face for UK Agriculture.

Canada can produce wheat cheaper than the UK can and NZ can produce milk and meat much cheaper than the UK could ever manage.

If there was some international assurance scheme that would bring foreign produce up to the same standard as homegrown food?

Frying pan and fire come to mind

CANZUK but lets be realistic it does sound far better as NIBE or New Improved British Empire

You are feeling left out ?

I don't know the answer , are there many restrictions or tariffs on their imports at present ?

All the existing customers for their exports would still exist, would much that we have already really be sent here ?

Would the kiwis let us beat them at rugger if this comes about?

Hows about we feed our own nation for a kick off ?

Sure they will let the Ulster boys beat them.

Possibly a good way to re invigorate the Commonwealth of Nations.
