The arguments against the free trade zone working are very sound and I commend you for the good research. Again you miss the point. CANZUK does and will not have to be a federation. The one elephant in the room CaspianReport misses is financial free zone along with a free trade zone. Why is this crucial? The City of London is the second largest stock and financial market on earth. Its financial global reach is impressive. Under CANZUCK the combined weight of City of London, Toronto, Sydney and Auckland would displace Wall Street as the number one stock and financial hub. No air, land or sea necessary in a cyber digital world for this to happen. Along with free movement of professional workers interoperability of such a free financial zone is assured. This the lynch pin on why it will work and CANZUCK know this implicitly. CaspianReport it would seem does not.

@@ClassMRule I could possibly see the US being an associated member of the Union but at least half of the US would have a problem being a full member seeing how almost half of the US hates the UN

Probably because the US alone would be larger in population than all of CANZUK combined. That would have a significant influence on the politics of a CANZUKUS federation since the market and military power of the US would dominate. In effect, CANZUKUS would be a modified version of NATO. The other point is that AUS NZ and CAN are still Commonwealth nations where the head of state is still the Queen of England. We held a referendum in Australia some years ago to decide whether we should be a republic or stay a constitutional monarchy. Republicanism lost out that time, but as the population demographics continue to shift due to immigration, and the birth of citizens who have no ties to the old Empire, that margin will change in due course. A federation of this sort would require a referendum and I don't really see this passing in Australia.

New Zealand is tiny, and has scenery and sheep. If Britain DID want to partner with a former Dominion, that has a rapidly growing economy and uses English as a common language, they could have tried to forge closer ties to India, but given that a whole load of the popular Brexit rhetoric revolved around erroneous claims that "leaving the EU means we can send all the Muslims back home", even thought there are no Muslim EU nations....

In fact you don't even need that 6 month meeting, You can simply contact the trade minister's for trade deals changes etc. One of the worst interpretations of CANZUK ever

@@matejurkovic7967 they are allies and have been forever think you are defining allies as something else

he is completely wrong its not a federation

The narrator seems to have overlooked that the UK, Canada, New Zealand & Australia all have the British Queen as our head of state in per our constitutional governments. He may be wise to took up Commonwealth countries on Google before he start yapping about something he knows nothing about!

I think it would be more accurate to say they're taking in their demented dad into their house.

Yeah....Aussies and Kiwis have their differences and its a 4 hour plane ride. This will not work at all.

Ah yes, the ancient British ritual of tourism: If I speak as if I was drowning in molasses, it will automatically translate my words for the masses.

@Metallus Zorax Habsburgers were Austrian. Hohenzollern were German.

U.K. and germany are extremely close allies these days, germany wouldn’t be soo foolish to turn back to nazism and colonise Europe again

Theres not much here (britain) either and what has been said is vague. but canzuk would be helpful for dealing with china. a australian senator did say something about it i think

@@conorjones7169 No CANZUK is simply nonsense, the TPP, now the CPTPP is the trade agreement put forward to deal with china ie. anyone coming along now and being all like "Ohh but CANFUCK can help with china..." - doesn't know dick about shit

China is why we need canzuk, it’s not like we can’t draw closer with Japan and the USA as well as canzuk at the same time, they aren’t mutually exclusive.

In the UK I have only seen it on KZfaq . No party has mentioned it here . Curiously , in one KZfaq channel the UK , in a survey , was the least in favour .

Yeah no shit. We'll never let Canada flood us with anglophone immigrants here. Also Britain is not a good ally to have.

@@simlevesque Amigo the only place in quebec anglo immigrants go is Montreal. Saguenay would be just fine.

@@simlevesque The Crown allowed francophones to remain

@@davo1822 the opposite is true. Only montreal is really welcoming for mass anglophone immigration here.

@@simlevesque francophone just means you speak French right? de nombreux Britanniques peuvent parler les deux langues. So you’d also have francophone people coming too.

Nobody cares about what Quebec thinks. They’re always against everything, they don’t even want to be French, and the French don’t want them either.

If Canada would politically and legally recognize itself as a multinational federation, then Quebec wouldn't have to "complain" about his interests not being defended by the federal government. What about failures of Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords? If you would be part of a minority, you wouldn't have this opinion.

@The Alchemist if the various pollings are to be believed French Canadians are more in favour of CANZUK than us Brits are (as they should with the current state of geopolitics)

@The Alchemist ah my bad 👍

Quebec has 63% support for CANZUK.

This idea has been floating around, ineffectually, for 50 years. Brexit isn't going to hasten its adoption.

Eep Barba Durkle, someone's trying to get laid in college

not a fucking chance because Scotland will be leaving the UK this year ... the UK is finished

@@SaorAlba1970 Traitor.

No No. They work for each other in return for money

Good old Quebec, Canadian politics would be boring without the angry French and English Canadians shouting at each other.

One of the reasons for UK leaving the EU were immigrants, so I don't know if the British will be happy with it.

Yay Canada helps as well because half of the people here just go down to America

@@nieboniebieskie3502 It wasn’t really because of the immigrants themselves. It was because their government gave them no say in who and how many are coming into the country. They are ok with immigrants; they just want to control the flow and make sure everyone gets screened properly while the system isn’t heavily burdened.

I like the way the CER is based on mutual recognition of standards rather than having some sort of CER wide standardization across Australia and New Zealand. So in the CER arrangement, Australia recognizes educational qualifications granted by New Zealand universities and food standards by the NZ food standards authority. There's no EU style attempt to make everyone have the same standards, more like 'those folks over there have comparable standards to us'. So you can qualify as a solicitor in NZ and go work as one in AZ. Of course, over time this is likely to mean that solicitors in NZ get told 'Here in NZ we do things this way but if you're in Australia they do things slightly differently'. It's basically a much better way to do it than the EU model which doesn't even try to make qualifications portable but does try, and largely fails, to micromanage a load of stuff to benefit France and Germany and screw everyone else.

This is one of the better sales pitches, I'll give you that.

@@HamishDuh2nd It’s not a sales pitch. That’s just what CANZUK actually is. Caspian Report isn’t interested in telling us what it’s about because he’s anti-British. His last video about the UK was about it breaking up. I know exactly what CANZUK is because I helped found it.

@@noodlyappendage6729 Did you now? Well... That isn't how the CANZUK lobbyists are currently selling it, but hey, at least you had good intentions. I am a salesman, and I know a sales pitch when I hear it. If you are trying to convince me, then you are trying sell to me. Its that simple. Having a shared head of state is used as one of the key selling points now by CI and other youtube CANZUK proponents. We don't know what an actualized CANZUK would look like yet, because this is just an idea. Right now though, there is clearly a difference in how you see CANZUK, and how the UK and UK loyalists see CANZUK. Caspian Report has a skeptical bias against CANZUK, as do many people. But just because he has an agenda, does not make Shirvan wrong. Shirvan also made a recent video about Canada. Before that, we Canadians recently blocked drone technology to Turkey in an effort to keep drones out of his country's conflict with Armenia, so his bias against us would be expected. But beyond over-emphasizing the seriousness of some of our challenges, his research was solid, and I can't say he was wrong.

@@HamishDuh2nd What do you mean by UK loyalists? If you would like to know more about CANZUK just join their Facebook group. I created it years ago until it became fully synchronised to CANZUK International (formerly the Commonwealth Freedom of Movement Organisation). I even made the organisation change its name. Dropping the ‘Commonwealth’. Thank God. The Mentioning of QE2 is just about highlighting the things we share in common. Like language. This wasn’t pushed by the government. It wasn’t a government or even a parliamentary initiative. It came from people like me lobbying for it for years. I was laughed at by them or just ignored. They were fully concentrated on the EU back then. Now look at them. The Conservatives in Canada now have CANZUK as party policy. In all honesty it’s just about freer trade and freer movement based on the relationship between Australia and New Zealand. Talk of military cooperation was always there from the start. But not union of any kind. ✌️Anyway enjoy your evening. I can promise you. I’m not a nutter. I really am one of the five people that founded it. Regards.

The UK offers Canada and Australia a friendly market to sell our natural resources and f o o d (though it’s admittedly small compared to the markets of China, Japan and USA)

No they dont. Hell....Australia & Canada are mates but they have very different situations to content with. The "casual allies" thing suits them just fine. They would not want to get THAT close. This makes no sense....

Also Canada needs people. An influx of educated workers that might potentially settle would be amazing. Because they are already 90% naturalized.

@@alexlant5740 If Canada gets an influx of educated workers from the UK, that means the UK will lose educated workers.

@@Alftura Agreed we Canadians love our Australian cousins, but neither country are in a position to make drastic oversimplified foreign policy changes like Brexit.

We aint gonna force you too build hockey rinks in the desert. We can compromise on that issue lol

we all play golf though!

@Arup Ratan Mitra or rugby team!

Something makes me think you're jealous here, Napoleon Bonaparte...

The real empire is China and USA

But under the mother of Prince Andrew, and soon the brother of Prince Andrew, that is exactly what it will be, whether it was envisioned or not.

@@HamishDuh2nd The Royals would have no power over this federation so I don't really understand what you're saying?

Yeah Caspian totally misunderstood the whole idea of Canzuk

forget CANZUK, now i want the CAUK Union

No want one a single nation ,this isnt what cazuk is

That would be pretty pointless. Relations between the UK and AU/NZ are much stronger than with Canada. Aside from the fact Brits share much deeper cultural relations with Australians and New Zealanders compared to Canadians, the UK invests far more into both as well with foreign direct investment worth roughly £330bn pounds vs £35bn pounds with CA. Trade between the UK and AU/NZ was worth about $20bn which is slightly more than UK/CA. Brits also move to Australia at a rate of 30 000 a year vs Canada which is roughly the same as NZ at 6000.

@Heed The Bah Is it really that bad? It may be because of where you live.

There’s already a bilateral agreement between Australia and New Zealand.

Have you tried TLDR UK ?

Furry

It didn't invite India, Ireland or America lmao

@@KingAgniKai why would it? they would certainly reject it and make fun of Britain for inviting them in the first place

It’s a federation of equals nobody would suggest becoming an actual colony again

Not really, different age, different attitude. We have shared culture, shared interests and similar economies. It would be weird for us not to co-operate closely. The EU was an aberration, this a return to normal I think.

Yes and no. Canada has the potential to outdo the UK economically, as does Australia. Both have been growing twice as fast since WW2, mainly cause they attract more immigrants. They also have far greater land and natural resources.

Get rid of your P.M first. __Canadians are not anglophones if not for a tiny minority .most don't give a shit to about English speaking countrie

@@robertoballa9703 but they do. Britain is very popular with the Canadian public and we have some of the strongest diplomatic relationships. Canadians are English speakers and most are descendents of the same anglo culture. You don't know anything about this or canada.

You should cut contact with the American ones. I would wholeheartedly support an Anglosphere federation if only it would ditch the Americans for good. Otherwise they will just continue driving their interests at the expense of everyone else's.

@@goldbullet50 Lmao the US is basically the estranged family member.

Keep dreaming....Canada has no use for canzuk. The only desperate country that needs it is little Britain !

@@joeissac3934 Yeah, but it would still be beneficial for all countries involved. Canada could receive British military aid. Australia could finally get rid of Emus with British and Canadian aid. Britain could get out of their dire situation

@@PatriotMapper Little Britain doesn’t have military. Get help bro. USA has global hegemony......I know this hurts your british feelings 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@arminius6506 Not saying your wrong, but do you have any sources? would be good to read more

@@nickwilson8119 no this is my own perception of the situation, USA needs a new counter weight to China to help keep the balance of power in favour of their West. But there is no doubt that it seduces the Brits and many of them are on board. But who am I??? Maybe I'm totally wrong 😉

Yeah its been told by many politicians from each nation they like CANZUK Alot and one of their reason for liking it is bc they are still and will always operate as their own sovereign nations

@@arminius6506 China is not a long term rival. Their economy isn't value added, they can't defend their sea lanes, they import their food because their arable land (which use 5x the industry standard in inputs) isn't enough to sustain their population, and they are dependant on exports because there isn't a domestic market for their own goods which is garunteed to remain true for the next 20 years because of their demographics. Not to mention their insane debt levels, subprime mortgage crisis on the horizon, and a population that has an average age older than the average age in the US. China is Enron on a country level.
