The Canada EU Ties that Bind – and Divide Senator Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, has been making waves on both sides of the border with her warnings against strengthening Canada's economic and political ties to the European Union.
While I rarely agree with Senator Collins' views, I believe her concerns about a deeper EU Canada connection are well founded.
At first glance, one might wonder why Senator Collins is so opposed to Canada's potential "associate membership" in the EU.
