No, just use what the EU does. They're bigger, their rules are better, and with more than one member state it's harder to be cut off than with America.

Honestly, it's a big undertaking to get our own snowflake charging system built and tested, and the EU one will be good enough -- especially if we're all working on it together.

    I'd rather us strengthen ourselves then continue being dependent on others when we don't have to.

    To strengthen ourselves we need to make stronger ties with others. There's no use having a Canada-only payment system. We need a payment system that makes it easy for outsiders to buy Canadian (and vice versa).

    The problem we have now is that we have only ONE country's providers, beholden to ONE country's governmental whims to do international transactions. We need something that is truly transnational instead of trusting a single country to be reasonable for all time.
