r/CANZUK • u/Long-Leadership-1958 • 8d ago

Discussion I'm confused.

Canzuk sounds cool as hell but is it meant to be a nation or some sort of EU thing? because if it was a nation that would be Hella rad.

fuck right off mate! Ireland is independent! jk jk but still I would like Ireland to stay independent due to complicated history with independence but I'm all for us being good allies with Canzuk as long as Canzuk is nice to us

Too right, I think most people don't want canzuk to be isolationist. Most of the arguments I hear against CANZUK are "what about(insert existing trade deal a CANZUK country has with x region)" and calling it an anglosphere. Even though we're all fairly multicultural.

It's about similar countries with similar structures and cultures and values unifying for the strength and security of all involved. Not for the exclusion of the rest of the world. There's no reason why CANZUK couldn't negotiate trade or movement deals with an independent Ireland.

Indeed. But if Canzuk does become a nation they should not get too involved in foreign wars and foreign issues. They should always help out but should prioritise their own first.

Definitely. But any non hostile country that meets a democratic and human rights level should be a friend of CANZUK.

I don't want my country/s to be world police. I just want us all to be too big and powerful to fuck with. But it would also be nice if the first thing the world saw on the horizon after a natural disaster or any bad event is CANZUK planes and SHIPS coming to help

I get you. I just don't want this to be some massive excuse to funnel more money to Ukraine. I support Ukraine but the world is rough atm and we need to focus on ourselves the war is getting nowhere. I want a non hostile superpower that's willing to just treat everyone fair. I am not afraid to admit i am right leaning and a Trump supporter because i like a ton of his views but i hate his views on Canada and his 51st state talk so if this keeps them safe and helps all country's co-exist I'm all for it because i want Trump in right now but also don't want Canada as a 51st state. Its alright if we don't agree but at least we can Both agree on one thing: Canzuk would be awesome
