There's plenty contradictions under the surface in the EU. It's not the homogeneous entity it appears to be at first glance. Given what's happening politically in a few of the large countries, things are probably gonna sharpen further over the next few years. Bumpy road ahead for all of us.

These headlines have been popping up frequently in recent months, but this topic is hopelessly overstated in my opinion. There is no such thing as an "associate EU membership'. What is much more important is the fact that Canada will come closer to the EU than ever, and it will be very close. THIS is much more important than how we call it.
