Ok we get new HN articles every week now about migrating to EU solutions and digital sovereignty. At this point EU should just do as China, please: have EU their own cloud providers, softwares, hardwares, phones and also its own closed-EU only mini-internet barrier by a big EU digital policy border. Just like China, NKorea and Russia. They would be finally at peace with themselves.

This! More taxes and - yes - more state-controlled tech! Wait. Why stop there? Let’s just bring back the SED and the Stasi too. Also, prevent people (the rich? yeah!) leaving Europe too with big walls [1]! I love your ideas comrade! LOL. Seriously, you should read more history books (and read it to your kiddos while you're at it, please). Peace.

Canadian ER waits times:

Quickest Visits: Half of non-urgent patients are out in 2.6 hours (90% within 7.6 hours).

Serious Cases: Patients who are more ill are prioritized and seen faster, but their total visit time is longer — 90% wrap up within 10 hours.

The Bottleneck: The real crisis is for those needing admission to a hospital bed. Average waits hit 22 hours (3x the target), and 1 in 10 patients wait over two days just to get a bed.

I think Quebec province is the worst.

Interac strong? Are you serious? That thing can take up to 30 minutes to receive your money! (source: interac.ca)

<< Interac e-Transfer is a fast, secure and convenient way to send money to anyone in Canada using online banking. The participating bank or credit union transfers the funds using established and secure banking procedures. Transfers are almost instant, but can take up to 30 minutes depending on your bank or credit union. >>

This will never happen, or at most, it will be a half-baked clunky "federation" like today. Why? Because you will always say first: "I am Italian" and not "I am European" when introducing yourself. All the dreamy one powerful Europe will never happen because of this. Which makes sense because Europe, by definition, is multiple countries, identities and cultures!

Funny some people still believe this non sense nowadays with all the information available. I hope you manage to get out of your echo chamber one day. Peace.

Revolut neo bank (GB) tried to enter the canadian market in November 2019. It was in beta mode for one and half year, then it has quit the canadian market!

Why? because they failed obtaining a bank licence!

It is very hard for a new bank to come to Canada. They have to "partner" with one of the 5 existing oligarch banks! Imagine.. as a business, you have to "partner" with a competing bank in order to operate!

Meawhile, Revolut has successfully opened in 10 other countries at the same time..

Tourists and strangers don't really catch how the canadian market is ruled by oligarch / oligopoly so few players/businesses.

There is NO COMPETITION here! Welcome to CanaRussia!

..and Canada is yet the only G7 country to not have a high-speed train.

In fact, in Canada, trains are slow, expensive and not well-deserved that you are better-off using your car or plane ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Barcelona-Madrid | 503km | 2h30 by train | 46$CAD (33 euros)

Toronto-Montreal | 541km | 5h by train | 93$CAD (68 euros)

And it’s the same for banks in Canada..

Revolut had to quit the canadian market because of the cartel banks..
