Encouraging Brexit news - Canada model

[Old Greg]

I have this nagging suspicion OG is being sarcastic again, but I can't put my finger on anything ominous in his original post.

(haven't had time to read it very carefully though.)

I protest! We must all pull together now.

Gr8 news, David Davis is really on top his game. I can see that my portfolio will definitely benefit from his plan.

Completely agree! Forward as one!

Completely agree! Forward as one!

Boris had it right:

Boris Johnson on Brexit: 'We can be like Canada' | Politics | The Guardian

He went on to issue a plea for voters to “ignore the pessimists and the merchants of doom” who are arguing the UK should fear being outside the EU – an argument made by Cameron on the grounds of economic uncertainty and national security.

Johnson then cited Canada as a good example of a country that has free trade deals with the rest of the world while maintaining control of its borders.

“I think we can strike a deal as the Canadians have done based on trade and getting rid of tariffs. It’s a very, very bright future I see,” he said.

It's truly lucky for us that we have geniuses like Boris Johnson and David Davies batting for our side.
If only we could keep Gove too.

We just need to ignore Boris's "gloomadon poppers" and so-called experts such as Pierre Pettigrew, former trade minister for Canada:

It is fatuous to think there is a real comparison between Canada’s relationship with the EU and the UK’s with the bloc. Indeed, were Canada to trade as much with the EU as we do with the US we would want a much deeper relationship than Ceta...

...when you can rely on trade with the world’s largest economy, as is the case for Canada, you can afford the luxury of time. That will not be the UK’s position.

Bah humbug, I say, Sir!

Are they? Cads and bounders! Time to send in the gunboats, methinks.
By gad, let them taste some cold steel!
They don't like it up them you know.

nah we will send the Frogs they normally manage better there.

The supposed challenges are actually opportunities to diversify:

Under Ceta, Canada will have no hand in setting EU regulations or formulating product standards and no access to the banking passport system that would have allowed its banks and financial services to trade freely.
