where do you think the cost of that trade is going to be pushed?

For now, it has been pushed into countries outside the free trade zone. Ukraine would have it much easier if it was in the EU free trade zone, for example.

So, in Canada's case I'd say the costs would get pushed to the US.

What the actual fuck do you people think about?

Bud, if they cut pesticide health regulation to facilitate a higher agricultural output for EU markets, the wind does not care where it blows it. You ever hear of the Parkinson's Belt?Are you people seriously going to pretend you're anti-Trump, but you don't care about axeing protections for the sake of capital? What the fuck is your problem with him then if you want to do the same thing, but for Euros?

(That wasn't hyperbolic, BTW, they just did this with pesticides in Canada, wonder why)

Wouldn't the cut in pesticide health regulation be meant to sell more to the US? We don't like nasty pesticides here in Europe.

Dunno. Pesticide health regulations are tighter in EU than basically anywhere. Maybe they have other interests than joining the EU, then?
