To join EU, a country needs to comply with several conditions. The conditions for economical and political stability are OK, I assume. But Canada would need to adapt to EU laws. How big is the gap between the laws in Canada and what EU requires?
Is it anything that stops EU and Canada from agreeing on free trade, open borders etc. even if Canada is not a part of EU? That would be weaker since one side can elect a weirdo and suddenly stop all agreements but it could be faster to implement and Canada could join later.
Good that some companies can invest in talent. It must be tough to lose a job, get a new job and then lose that one as well within two years and I can't imagine how it would feel like to lose my job three times in two years.
Yes? Isn't kick-starter made for this case? The problem is that the money from kick-starter is usually not enough, it is more to prove to other investors that people are interested so the other investors dare to go in with more money.
Dutch petition: Stop big tech and make the Netherlands digitally sovereign before the end of 2027
The US has become an unreliable partner under the Trump administration. Yet our government, healthcare and education still rely on American Big Tech. Through this petition, we demand digital independence: invest in Dutch and European infrastructure, protect our data and build our own technology. https://stopbigtech.petities.nl/
Sounds like something every European country should go forward with.

94 % of all Swedish municipalities are using Microsoft's services and in most of the cases it is cloudbased. And still some people think we should stop shifting to European services.
The biggest threat is therefore not that we use American clouds. The biggest threat is division. That we deliberately reduce our digital capacity for political reasons.
Good news, but we will be more dependent on Chinese batteries than we were on Russian oil. We will continue to be dependent on China for the rare earth metals even if an European battery factory like Northvolt is successful.
