Interac Debit is a purely Canadian operation, I think. They have Interac Direct, which Canadian financial institutions and merchants are familiar with. So if they make a move towards a credit card, the timing might be right.

A lot of Credit Unions use them. Now if we could get a few Canadian banks to follow in their footsteps - but it will only happenn if Canadians push for it.
A rght-wing Canadian source arguing AGAINST PP? What has Conservativism gotten to?
It’s called The Hew World Order, where the old rules no longer apply. Europe needs to get over its inferiority complex, and start living in the present. Europe needs to take care of ALL Europe, including Ukraine. It should now be blatantly clear that Ukraine will never be part of Russia again, and European investments in Ukraine will not fall into Russian hands. Russia will not be able to retaliate, especially when Europe no longer needs Russian fossil fuels.
When the ESA gets around to launching humans into space, hopefully it will include Canadians. If Europe ever gets its act together and decides to become an informal republic of autonomous states, it would certainly hurry things up. There is no reason why a unified Europe could not leap over the US in space. They have the money, and they could certainly create a company to rival SpaceX. Over the last 8 decades, they became lax and put too much dependence on America. They put all their investment money into American ventures, not their own. That seems to be changing recently. CERN really did boost their confidence, and now China has decided to invest in the European next generation collider instead of building their own in China.
Maybe Canadians will see the light, and divert our investment dollars into Europe instead of America.
It would really have to be a flexible accordion bridge. The two planets rotate around the sun at different speeds.
Arguably the customers who paid full price were certainly overcharged.
I believe they DID execute Louis Riel.
Then apologized for it (said ‘sorry’) about 150 years later.
Toyota and Honda represented 76.5% of Canada’s vehicle production (1,226,099) in 2025 and each of Toyota and Honda produced more vehicles in Canada than Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis combined. GAC members had a 60.5% market share of all light-duty vehicles sold in Canada in 2025.

So pretty soon it will be an East Asian/Japanese car of some make and model made in Canada. The Chinese might just as well join the fray. Those lamenting the demise of Canadian jobs on assembly lines of American cars are several decades too late. The Canadian jobs are now predominantly on non-American model production lines anyway.
They will still be operating under Canadian labor laws.
From the 1950’s to a decade ago, Europe felt obligated to America for ‘liberating’ them from the Nazis. Today, there are few Europeans alive that remember the 1940’s and 50’s, and are far less prone to being in gratitude to the US. It’s no longer MAGA, Make America Great Again, it is LELA - Let Europe Lead Again.
