So, practically. If Canada were to join the EU, what steps would be required? We'd obviously need to apply, like other countries. Certainly greater presence in Brussels.
Would we need to adopt the Euro? I'd think so, but not sure if that is a good idea.
We'd have to upgrade a lot of our standards
It is called Enlargement. Seems appropriate for the era we are in.

My jointer restoration project, still sitting at the old place. Paused for now, but not forgotten. Was in the middle of this when we finally found the right homestead.
Need to make space for it here first. Preferably with a foundation, so I don't have to move it again.
And then find about six strong elephants to help me load it onto a trailer.
Problems for another time.

I've been filing bugs to improve Mozilla's crash reporting infrastructure so it's easier to see at a glance if a particular crash affects only a specific CPU but also if only some microcode versions are affected.
I said it before but I'll say it again. I would have never thought that CPU bugs would have become an everyday occurrence, but here we are.

Q. across Africa as US Foreign Aid is withdrawn, will Chinese aid replace it?
Chinese aid has mostly been differently focusses (funding infrastructure rather than social services), and certainly China's Govt. may see the potential for extending influence, but unless its character is radically altered, for African countries while infrastructure may continue to improve with Chinese help, social (poverty-focussed) services look threatened unless African states themselves take them up?
there was an excellent article in the Grauniad a few weeks back, arguing that US withdrawal offered a golden opportunity to the EU to build bridges into Africa, starting with a recognition of the damage from colonialism and an honest discussion about meaningful reparations for slavery in the form of preferential trade agreements

I thought I had disabled all the 'phone home' functionality in Firefox, but it appears to be still sending telemetry. about:telemetry claims it is disabled but there are several telemetry settings set to true in about:config.
