Trump vows to slap 25% tariffs on EU and claims bloc was ‘formed to screw US’
  • I've been studying biology and genetics at univ., so I understand the topic very well. The problem with GMO is not the technique per se, but the fact that companies can lock agricultors with specific pesticids, regardless of the damage they can do to environment. For example, Gluten molecule was made stronger by French scientists, for the agricultural lobbies during 90-2010, and now a lot of people suffer from this.

  • I don't know much about food standards laws. A bit of french ones, but not international. Most of it is assumed based on what I heard from news and agricultors back when the treaty was validated! So, what you basically say is that Canada also have high standards, and that's a good news. No GMO? Some organic food (no pesticids)? I've never been to your country, but I will come to visit in the future :) Thank you for your answer.

  • As EU citizen, I don't think that's a good deal for us, as we are importing food that do not match our environmental criterias. It's anti-concurrential for inside food producers that have to conform these environmental laws. It would have been good if the deal was to import things that were produced respecting our laws (no offense).

  • It's not just a yes or no. Theorically, they have to do many things about corruption, economic stability. They are not supposed to be at war to apply and not to have unstable countries beside. Accepting Ukraine now, would be against all the neighbors countries that have been struggling to enter. EU have to help them getting out of this war (preferably by pushing Russia out entirely), then make peace, then help rebuilding so they are conform to enter. I really hope we manage to make them get there! But it's long for a reason: stability. The quickest part would be to accept them as candidate, but it needs peace first.

  • We can all agree that humans are smarter than crows, right?
  • It really depends on how you judge being smart. Imagine if you have wings instead of arms and hands, and a beak instead of a mouth. What would you be able to achieve as an organic entity? I'm not sure there's an easy answer on this. I think some animals are smarter than humans, but they just have different bodies, so that's not a fair comparaison to judge on what the human specy has achieved as a whole.

  • Teenagers turning to AI companions are redefining love as easy, unconditional and always there.
  • No, people didn't do such things before, I disagree. People got out, of course, but it had greatly increased market view for events, because random people around could get the information. Before that, it was just displays on the walls, local newspapers, etc, but the potential viewers are way less.

  • I'm not so sure. Facebook was a great tool to create local communities at first. Then it became greedy and changed the algorithm for ads and being attention driven. If you remove facebook (which I don't use since months), it's harder to find what's new around you, and get out to cool events. Especially on the countryside.
