Thank you for bringing the logic of these connections to the surface. And for this constructive, less skeptical take on the EU.

Yes, they freaked out over a 3% digital tax in Canada - on certain revenue made in Canada. Apparently we're not supposed to act like a sovereign country. Trump has it in his list of unacceptable "tariffs" Canada has.
