COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n The following news item was of interest:<\/p>\n Canada, the world\u2019s eighth-largest economy, kicked off trade talks with the European Union as it seeks to reduce dependence on a slowing U.S. economy. <\/span>Prime Minister <\/span>Stephen Harper<\/span> met European Commission President <\/span>Jose Barroso<\/span> today in Prague to discuss an accord. Canada\u2019s exports will drop 22 percent this year because of the weak global economy, the country\u2019s export development agency predicted last month. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis is an historic step for Canada,\u201d Harper told reporters in Prague. \u201cIt is a glimmer of light in the darkness of this global recession.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n A trade agreement with the European Union would be the country\u2019s largest since the North American Free Trade Agreement. Canada is suffering its deepest slump since the 1930s amid plunging demand for its goods in the U.S., which buys about 80 percent of its exports. <\/span><\/p>\n Canada, home to aircraft producer <\/span>Bombardier Inc.<\/span> and among the world\u2019s 10 largest auto producing nations, will record a 7.3 percent drop in first-quarter output, the country\u2019s central bank estimates. <\/span><\/p>\n Canadian officials, including Trade Minister <\/span>Stockwell Day<\/span>, also have complained about what they say is growing protectionism in the U.S. <\/span><\/p>\n Protectionist Risk <\/span><\/p>\n A U.S. decision to let states exclude Canadian companies from projects paid for by the $787 billion stimulus package risks igniting a protectionist backlash, Day told reporters last month in Washington. The U.S. also recently imposed $54.8 million in duties on softwood lumber from four Canadian provinces. <\/span><\/p>\n Canada and the EU, too, will need to overcome trade disputes as they start negotiations. The European Union yesterday approved a ban on imports of seal products, prompting Canada to threaten action with the WTO. <\/span><\/p>\n The EU is targeting products derived from seals that are killed and skinned in ways that cause pain and suffering. <\/span><\/p>\n Day told reporters yesterday in Prague the dispute won\u2019t affect the trade talks with the EU. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re going to pursue a broader trade agreement with the EU but there will always be individual disputes as there will be with this case with the seals,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n A trade agreement could boost Canadian exports by C$12 billion ($10.2 billion) annually, Day said. <\/span><\/p>\n Beyond Tariffs <\/span><\/p>\n The scope of negotiations will reach beyond tariffs, making it a broader agreement than Nafta. Canada and the EU are seeking an \u201cambitious\u201d agreement including government procurement and regulatory co-operation, according to a statement released by Harper\u2019s office today. Canada and the EU traded C$90.4 billion worth of goods in 2008. <\/span><\/p>\n An agreement may open up European markets to Canadian aerospace and engineering companies such as Bombardier and SNC Lavalin Group Inc., while providing Europeans access to Canada\u2019s energy resources, said Simon Potter, a trade lawyer at McCarthy Tetrault in Montreal. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis is the very first trade deal we\u2019re going to sign with a huge economy after Nafta,\u201d Potter said in a telephone interview. \u201cI expect energy is going to be a major part.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n Canada sits on the largest pool of oil reserves outside of the Middle East, and is a major exporter of natural gas. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEurope strategically is looking to work its way out from the yoke of Gazprom and seeking other suppliers,\u201d Dale Botting, an economic development official from Saskatchewan, said in a telephone interview. Canada \u201ccan try to fill the gap.\u201d http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/apps\/news?pid=20601082&sid=aA7320P3ohA0&refer=canada<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Certainly, the Europeans are looking for alternative nations to supply oil and natural resources and the Canadians always want new paying customers.<\/p>\n Interestingly, to me it least, was something I saw on Canadian television several years ago that indicated that in the future, Quebec would become an ally of the EU and help lead to the destruction of Canada (and possibly also the USA, if I remember that part well enough).<\/p>\n As\u00a0 I have long believed and reported, the USA and Canada will make various deals with the Europeans, but ultimately, the USA, Canada, and their Anglo-allies, will decide to cooperate more with each other than with the Europeans (Quebec, though, could be in a different category).<\/p>\n However, Anglo-unity is likely to be one of the factors that will lead to the destruction of the Anglo-descended peoples by the coming European Beast power.\u00a0 An event that may occur sometime next decade.<\/p>\n Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel<\/a> Are the Americans, Canadians, British, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph? Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first?\u00a0 What will happen to the nation of Israel?
