See that’s why it would never work - the movement between the four CANZUK nations will be very uneven.

It will be no different to the EU where people from the poorer eastern and southern nations moved to Western Europe

[@ScriptedMatt]

Australian here, It would be great to more easily be able to travel to Canada and the UK! I am not sure how good of a deal CANZUK would give us Aussies, but I'm hopeful.

[@TechnicalHydra]

I would say one thing that the video forgets is that a lot of trade nowadays is not physical (think software and financial services) which doesn't require ships. In that sense, it doesn't matter for a company in England if the company it's working with is in France or Australia. Actually it would be easier with an Australian company as they would share a language, legal setup etc.

[@adge610220]

You would certainly be welcome in the UK. We love Aussies.

[@JohnSmith-le5oe]

I am English and I can confirm that we love you guys, we see England as your homeland and you Australians are our brothers. Every Briton would fight to the death against anyone, for Australia. Family!

[@ProfDCoy]

I just want to add this, because I can already see why this idea of CANZUCK has emerged (spoilers: it's because the UK has fucked up with Brexit and now wants to fool its former colonies to become de facto colonies again). So as a colonial subject I want to warn my fellow colonial subjects not to fall for this bullshit and here goes, here's my best attempt. Listen guys, I'm an Australian and I totally understand all of the reasons and feelings why we in CANZUK want CANZUK to happen. But all of the good arguments for why we should and why we can are just fairytales. Distance matters, even with the sea. When WW2 happened, the most politically cataclysmic decisions the UK/Aus made was to part ways: to realise that our strategic interests simply aren't the same. This is why Australia chose the United States, for all the mixed benefits that has meant. Now, as the video mentions, the UK and Canada are onboard, because they will reap the lion's share of this fairweather friendship: trade and commodities flowing across the Atlantic and to the centre of global banking outside of New York (the City of London). This deal looks GREAT to the UK and even to Canada, which at the very least is still in the same ocean as the UK. But if war were ever declared, much like in Futurama when "war were declared", the signature on the dotted line will be Australia's and New Zealand's. And the UK and Canada will find all of the reasons - understandably, but inescapably - to look after their own and do what they did for Australia and NZ in WW2, which is fucking nothing. It wasn't their fault: it was just that distance matters. Distance matters. The assumption behind CANZUK is that the global order underpinned by US hegemony will hold. That sea travel will be protected by the richest and most powerful navy in the history of the world. Up to WW2 that was the UK. From WW2 and until now that is the US. It still is the US today, but we have no good reason to believe that the US will maintain its naval dominance over CHina over the long term. We can only dream about CANZUK by forgetting that the US holds that dream together. And let me be clear: I'm not a great fan of the US either. But I'm talking here to my fellow Australians and also my NZ brethren and even to some extent to the Canucks: CANZUCK is a deal that primarily benefits the UK, the country whose greatest export is 'financial services' (which is to say 'moving money around, without actually doing anything to earn that money'). CANSUCK is the dream the UK is dreaming now that they're running out of options, and it's not in anyone else's interests but the UK's to dream that dream any longer. There's nothing wrong with keeping close diplomatic ties, but the fact is that the UK has made the CATASTROPHIC mistake of leaving the EU and is now desperately trying to fool other nations to prop up its short-term idiocy by provding the UK with the basic commodities and REAL THINGS that it doesn't itself make anymore. And that idea looks mighty tempting to commodity exporters like Australia and Canada (we who export raw materials but also don't make Real Things half as much as we should) and to economies like NZ that struggle to offer much to the world anyway (not their fault at all, as a small island nation with no great resource wealth). But let's be honest here: this is the UK fucking up and then trying to convince the rest of us that their fuck-up is our opportunity. But if the tables ever turned and we needed them...they'll abandon us just like Churchill abandoned Curtin. Don't buy the lies. It's tempting to buy them, because the alternative is that we're a very small fish in a very big and scary pond. But if we don't accept that fact, we're going to be abandoned by the UK the very moment we need them to return the favour - when and if US hegemony crumbles and we become very very alone in the Pacific. We have to face facts: distance matters, and it's only the long historical luck of Britannia (and then America) owning the seas that makes this madness seem reasonable.

[@beanieisdumb800]

I feel like more trade coming out of places like Brisbane would be really beneficial to our economy, not even mentioning how it would help us move away from Chinese influence. I mean 66% of all our trade goes to China, we can’t rely on them so much, so this deal would be really beneficial for both trade opportunities and opportunities to seperate ourselves from China. The added benefit of easier travel and immigration also opens up many doors for jobs and education.

Do you really think that the Harrow/Eton and Oxford/Cambridge racist slugs are going to do anything for you? All they want is a safe country to run away to.

As an Australian, I do support the idea. The idea of not relying on Chinese trade is a big win, and citizenship towards Canada, New Zealand and the UK would be incredible. Especially because the UK has some of the most prestigious Universities. One thing that might be a tiny problem is currency conversion. But, I support the idea of this union for trade flow, the citizens, and the fact that our similarities can make negotiations easier/more influential. There doesn't seem to be a large problem on this if we can co-exist peacefully. Something to address is the USA. Personally, the USA do help quite a bit, and Australia does have an Alliance-ship with them. Russia is always a threat I feel, but we are quite far away from Russia. The UK and Canada are close to Russia though. A peaceful order could be a next step forward in world peace also. CANZUK could be a great decision in this modern world.

I see no problem having to change the currency to suit all of us. We had to accept the metric system in the UK.

[@lilaclizard4504]

​@Layton Bainbridge ah ok :) I think they should do that before discussing CANZUK though, they need to figure out where they stand as an independent nation before being emotionally ready to join. To compare it to boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, otherwise it's just going to be a rebound relationship/insecurity of needing someone else in their life, rather than learning to be a strong & independent single & therefore ready for a new relationship & bringing their best self to it. The whole issue's a bit time sensitive, due to the unrest in the world with the US & China, but otherwise I'd say we should be waiting a couple of years for the UK to find itself as an independent nation before forming the union. Would you agree or disagree & why?

[@lilaclizard4504]

@Layton Bainbridge agreed that trading partners need to change all round, but currently Australia's eyeing off both the UK & EU for that & seeing how things look with each as we make moves away from China & the US. I kinda feel like each country should be doing that itself to at least some extent, then CANZUK comes in & supports existing trade further & brings the other partners into the deals one of them has signed up for with other countries, but if we jump straight into CANZUK, then there could be blame & some level of hostility towards other members, feeling like theyv'e taken from the others, rather than brought more food to the table for everyone. Additionally, when you speak of Canada & the US, the US is going to be a problem! Not just on Canada, but all round. This deal will totally freak them out & with very good reason! It will potentially take their superpower status off them & step into their global shoes, so we all need to be ready for that huge shockwave coming our way when the US tries to resist CANZUK happening & I'm not sure we are right now

[@ivanj.conway9919]

@James Brennan : Exactly My Brother. Why should they? The Republic has made great strides in recent decades and you have a great country and culture as well. Plus, Northern Ireland is geographically, PART, of Ireland anyway, being a damn, island and all. Correct? Also, anyone who knows the history of Britain and Ireland knows full, damn, well, WHY, Northern Ireland exist in the first place. Had Britain not been trying to take over the whole, damn, world a few hundred years ago, Ireland would be a Unified Island today. Plus, you would still, have many of your Old and Ancient Families/Clans that were either killed or forced out of Ireland because of the fact of Britain trying to take it over. I myself, may be descended from such people. My ancestry is either Irish or Welsh, I have yet, to be able to pin it down. Anyway, it seems to make a hell of a lot more sense to me, for Northern Ireland to try ever so hard, to get past your past differences and reunite with the Republic again, and become ONE, UNIFIED, CULTURE AND PEOPLE, AGAIN! With that, a 500 plus year wrong, will have FINELY, been RIGHTED. Correct? Unless the North chooses to be its OWN, State or Country or what have you, but wouldn't it be just as well to reunite with the rest of Ireland again, and be the Ancient, Unified, Land you always were? Correct? Warmest Wishes from Canada. Best of 2021. Be Well. Be Safe. Out.

[@ivanj.conway9919]

@James Brennan : You know James, nobody can deny that Ireland has had a pretty damn, rough, time of it over the past few hundred years. So much sadness and so much misery. Which is why it's all the more inspiring to see what you have made of yourselves today. The Republic, as far as I know, is a beautiful, thriving, lovely, place today. You have a growing economy. Gorgeous landscape as always. A great, multicultural mix today. A wonderful, stable, progressive, society. You are reclaiming your/our - if you don't mind me saying - heritage through your language and songs and folklore and such. All that was attempted to have been ripped from you in the past, and coming out of all these "hardships" and "troubles" better than you've ever been before. To that extent, you really need to give yourselves a good pat on the back. I understand that modern day Brits have nothing to do with the horrors and atrocities of the past, but where I get rather annoyed and royally, miffed sometimes, is when they play willful dumbness. It's like when all the "troubles" were going on throughout the 80s and people in Britain could not, or refused to understand what all the fuss was about. To me, that was willful blindness and stupidity on their part. And to make out the the Irish were like a bunch of backward savages because of the things going on in Ireland at the time, was arrogance beyond belief. They should have known, and surely, must have known, that non of that would have ever, happened in the first place if Ireland had not become a divided land because of THEM! Correct? Well anyway, several hundred years of history can't be undone now, and those who have lived in North Ireland for a good many generations now, can't very well, be pushed out now, as that would make those doing that no better than their ancestors that took over the land several hundred years before. Now, in their own way, they are as Irish as those in the Republic, even if, some wish to remain loyal to Britain. The trick now, My Brother, is helping them to see how they would benefit more, by unifying with the Republic rather than remaining loyal to Britain, which seems utterly, determined to break from the European Union, anyway. Being several generations Canadian now, there is much I don't understand about this, but did Britain HONESTLY, do so bad by being a part of the European Union as some claim? And would Northern Ireland benefit MORE, if they stick with Britain and break with the European Union as well, or finely, join with the Republic again, and REMAIN, part of the European Union, as well?! This could end up being one of the best times yet, in recent history, to regain what should never have been taken from you in the first place. All if you play your cards JUST RIGHT! Agreed? My Very Best, My Brother. Be Well. Be Safe. Out.

No it does not, his outlines deliberately ignore a lot of facts. ASEAN is model after the EU, if Brexiteers can't stand EU, they can't stand an "equal CANZUK". The whole CANZUK rubbish is still the think that UK will be the head of such an arrangement. You think the other 3 will be ok with that? And the reason Australia has a China problem is because the South Pacific is the most viable trade route for them. Brisbane to Vancouver isn't a workable trade route because trade route are not just 1 nation to 1 nation. It's a looped chain across the global. Shanghai to Vancouver doesn't just take chinese goods from china to canada, it's part of a chain with goods from everywhere. Even if you have a deal with UK. Australia's position in that chain wouldn't change by much and it will still be South Pacific as the viable route.

You have to ask yourself, who do you think set the agenda for trade policies, do you think the UK will treat you like an "equal"? A common market requires 'regulatory alignment', one that Brexit expressively rejects. They can't stomach equality in Europe, you think they do it with you? You want the Brits to deregulate and privatized the shit out of Canadian system? Because that what they are doing for themselves.

Long term the UK is completely & utterly dependent on Australia & Canada for it's defence in this new alliance, so it's not in a position to boss the others around & it will be quickly told that if it tries! If the UK can't demonstrate it can sustain good relations with the EU, then the others won't be including it & will go with an EU alliance instead, but if it can sort it's s*** out, then it could be quite a good partner to bring along. Will also need to see what happens with Scotland & Wales & independence & how that fits into this overall picture. If they were to join as separate partners, that would very much drop the UK's perceived power within the union, even without, it's still a tiny speck on the map compared to Australia & Canada, so it's power isn't that great & there will certainly be zero tollerance of any bossing attempts!
