The European Parliament has formally consented to Canada's participation in the EU's €150-billion Security Action for Europe programme. The agreement is now fully binding, making Canada the only non-European country with preferential access to SAFE procurement.
ah…but 10 years later the millions who voted Brexit are somehow blaming politicians. It was a referendumb.
What was most hilarious was the top Google search the next day after the referendumb in UK was “what is brexit?”
To be fair to those millions, the politicians involved in trying to get brexit through were going everywhere spreading propaganda on how good it would be (eg: 200 MILLION MORE MONEY FOR NHS), so yeah I think they have a lot of the blame.
I know they lie all the time, but still… it made the vote (in peoples heads) “Give £200 million to NHS?”, so they picked yes to leave, but pretty sure the NHS didnt see that money, because it was either a lie from the start or they needed it to make up for the grave losses from everywhere else because of the change idk.
“lol, we did it! Lemme just check what we did”
okay, to be fair … when the vote was coming up … I didn’t even know why we were voting about it. I looked up what remain and leave were about and I was like … well I don’t see advantage here to leave, so I voted to remain.
Then I came back to Canada to see my family. I told all my EU coworkers that this will never pass before I left. I then had to message them on Slack telling them I was so wrong …
I remember telling my SF coworkers that they better get out to vote because we joked about Brexit and Trump is running and you don’t want to make a similar mistake.
