And #SigmarGabriel is right!

#Canada and #Mexico, while having a lot of ingineous roots, AS well as Asian and African, the majority of people have ancestral roots on the European continent and speak one of its languages.

But things should not be hastened, the #EuropeanUnion did not start as such.

Whatever this "CECA" might be that you're referring to, "CETA is a free trade agreement between Canada and the EU," as the Canadian government puts it, too:

It might be an idea to ratify CETA and then figure out how #CAN and #MEX might join that #FTA as well.

Concurrently, the project of a #EuropeanArmy must be revived and pursued at full speed.

Interestingly, #Ankara declared that it would like to join such a structure. Good.

CETA was successfully challenged in the Supreme Court by @costellop who argued that the proposed Investor Court System "would be unconstitutional as it transfers vital elements of the State’s sovereignty to external institutions not accountable to the Irish legal system."

The incoming government is now choosing to ignore that threat and bypass the constitution through legislation. This is a regressive policy which should not be allowed to proceed.
