I want canzuk to happen. We are all very closely related people's on many different levels too. I think it's about time that Canada, Australia and New Zealand had more rights in the uk and completely remove the visas. We owe them that much! I'd happily welcome the idea and I really hope it does happen.
@@johnathonjordon8148 well, as you're a kiwi I'd like to ask why you call us brits pom poms? Maybe you see us as cheerleaders? No seriously I'm just curious. I guess it must be along the lines of how we call new Zealanders kiwis
We had that arrangement until the late 40s. I say we return to a formal union federation we’re we can have all the good things together. Much like the Nordic union had created in 1954. The Nordic Passport Union allows citizens of the Nordic countries - Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland - to travel and reside in another Nordic country without any travel documentation (e.g. a passport or national identity card) or a residence permit. Or even like the Benelux Union.
CANZUK benefits every one of the countries, joining with the UK Unites you to a nation with a high growing GDP and very strong army and global influence, joining with Canada gives you the option for a much cooler place to live with a lot of land, Australia a warmer place with a lot of land, and New Zealand is one of the most free countries in the world and most happy, imagine having the choice to just move travel live visit all across these places all around the world whenever you want to. I love the idea, I think CANZUK could store a lot of their military equipment in Canada and Australia, as well as boost the economies of the two, the densely populated UK would cause many to move to these less crowded countries thus boosting their economies. We are all different in our own ways but similar, it could be the start for a big positive future.
Without a strong military and the blessings of our allies, this alliance would be pretty hard to do. The world won't stand around and let the 3rd largest military and 4th largest economy come out of nowhere
Very similar law system as you would expect being 4 English speaking commonwealth nations with ppl of mostly Anglo Saxon descent. there would obviously be a degree of autonomy in each area as the laws aren't totally ideal ( drug laws are at the two extremes regarding the UK and Canada) so the different nations could be states... something the UK and NZ aren't really used to. I'm assuming that the federal govt will be in London... lol certainly not Wellington haha.
I mean, they were raped and killed and killed by the Roman, the Germans, the French, the Vikings, the French-Vikings, the Germans again... All that beating is bound to make you stronger.
Considering the historical, cultural, geopolitical, legalistic, linguistic and economic alignments of the 4 nations, also the fact that they have the same Head of State. CANZUK to me seems logical if not inevitable.
The UK-USA was established by HM King George VI and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was The First time that The British Monarch had toured North America.
With former French colony's abandoning France and joining the Commonwealth of nations, this CANZUK has legs and ultimatly could also embrace those Commonwealth nations interested into a tighter alliance along with non Commonwealth nations in a trading based relationship of shared values
Yeah I think the furthest the close association could go is the Commonwealth Realms, so start with CANZUK and then if the small Caribbean and Pacific realms want to join later I think it would be doable. PNG would be the one outlier, but they were basically an Australian territory for quite a while so eventually they may seek closer ties. I never see CANZUK proper including India or any of the African states. Caribbean might want to think about something like the West Indies Federation again first and then join CANZUK as a unit to give themselves better negotiating power.
@@shauntempley9757 I know they're a realm, I just don't know if they'd have the appetite for a real union of any kind, and it's not a place I want uncontrolled borders with, at least not yet.
Even though Canada Australia New Zealand and the United Kingdom have diverged in recent decades, it’s our blood and shared heritage and our love for the monarchy that binds us. We are family, after all, and sometimes family go their separate ways, but after sometime come back together again. I pray and hope this happens, but I can’t see it happening because of other alliances our countries belong too, which will not allow this to happen.
@@rickykhehra7299USA is THE super power and staunchly patriotic im their eepublic amd independence. They are every part as much of the anglospjere and culturally similar as eveyone else, but the joining CANZUK is really unlikely. They've got their own kinda union anyway m
As a remainer, now we're out of the EU, we really need to find some other kind of union, and I think CANZUK might be a good idea if rejoining the EU is unfeasible
CANZUK would be way better for the UK than the EU. The Dominions felt deeply betrayed when Britain joined the EU/ whatever form it was in at that point, EEC maybe? It was seen as an abandonment and really hurt relations between Canada/ Aus and the UK. CANZUK as generally proposed would not be nearly as centralized as the EU and likely wouldn't even involve a unified government, more of a series of deals between the governments of the 4 countries allowing for (mostly) free movement of citizens and maybe permanent residents (not criminals or temporary residents) Borders would likely still exist, just with fast tracking for CANZUK passports. Possibly also a NATO style defence treaty which could also involve the US. I think personally that this should replace NATO entirely.
@@rocksandforestquiver959 from an entirely selfish perspective, I just don't want to be forced to live in a cold country when I retire. The idea of going out in the snow in my slippers. No thank you. The faster we can have some kind of freedom of movement, the better.
@@sydneylaroche8276 Lol that's also fair, even gives winter lovers the option of skiing year round. Either way, the freedom of movement would be great and is probably the first major step we'd see taken. It would feel like finally getting the family back together.
I think UK, Ireland, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand should form one vast country/union known as the Anglo Union, or Union of Anglo Speaking Republics
United States, China, Russia, EU, CANZUK, brilliant ideas. More unity is what I want. I hope all these great unions can recognise the smaller national identities within them while also staying United and maybe even patriotic. EU CANZUK and USA would be very very close and hey you never know in 1000 years time the three could unite, I’m certain eventually the world will be completely divided into 2 rather then like 50, and evensutally we will have a United earth. I hope so.
@@daxtynminn3415 Exactly. The Brits want a new empire. The other three countries are not going to play ball with that. Everyone knows how the UK acted in the EU and even if Canzuk was practical, it wouldn't be long before they started pushing their weight around. Do the Canadians, Australians or NZ/AOS want to experience that?
The Canadians are more independent-minded than you think. They've learned that from their friends in the US... They will scoff at the idea of losing Independence for a Union with an over-populated, dying island in the North Atlantic. Quebec will never tolerate such an idea. CUM (Canada, United States, Mexico) makes sense logistically and politically. Australia and NZ is as useless as Canada and the UK if not more so. What can NZ bring to AUS? Their island produces nothing, and is as useless as the AUS outback. NZ has no military, no industry, nothing... They are not a player in the Pacific and AUS will see them as a burden and not an asset.
@@nicholasmark2392 Yeah im aware that Canada probably would never agree to unite with the UK, i was just stating that location wise it would make a lot more sense than the canzuk union. I dont think a union of Canada and the UK would be very good but the idea of New Zealand and Australia potentially uniting is a lot more reasonable if NZ wants to unite
Why unite? Australia and NZ, Canada and UK are already pretty close. Also in the UK itself I think outside of the political class I don’t know how popular this idea would be. Closer military and economic ties are probable but political Union…
@@nicholasmark2392 Canadian nationalism is on a rise- but the thing about Canadian nationalism is that it’s biased around being a colony of the uk; compared to US nationalism of independence. Canada will most likely agree to trade agreements
The SLOCs between Canada and Oceania should be somewhat secure against China, granted the union slightly boosts defence spending and in favour towards the maritime. As of now, the current Royal Navy can secure the GIUK gap against the Russian Northern Fleet, the German and French navies could trap the Russian Baltic Fleet, and the Italian and Spanish navies could keep Russia from escaping the Mediterranean. A slightly greater and combined RN budget could ensure 6-8 CSGs in the fleet allowing great presence in the Indo-pacific, granted only 4 Dreadnaught SSBN's are ordered. All our fleets are undergoing modernisation efforts, commonality shouldn't be too hard to achieve. I've imagined how such a fleet would look like in detail, and it's quite exciting.
As far as I can tell, the Anglosphere and its ongoing Empire, has been well underway since the World Wars of the 20th Century. The establishment of the Council for Foreign Relations (CFR) is the premier Anglo Empire think tank in operation within the US since the 1920s. I now say that Canada was essentially "anschlussed" to the USA in 1940, when the UK traded much of its overseas military assets to the USA fir "Lend/Lease" aid in WW2. For that year was also when the Pentagon quietly put away its plans for invading Canada. Though Australia has been very close to both UK and American elites, the one time it tried to exercise its sovereignty in the mid '70s (withdrawing troops from the Vietnam conflict, attempted closure of the Pine Gap CIA/NSA spy base), the US & UK implemented a constitutional coup d'etat against its Labour PM Gough Whitlam.
Globalists hated the Empire because it stood in path of world internationalist government. The motivation behind FDR's punitive economic pressure on the British (while giving no conditions on aid to Soviets), Truman's support of Atlee's abandonment of India, and Eisenhower idiotic betrayal at Suez, were but a few of the major examples of this. CANZUK would be a great counter to China and a major boost for the western alliance
CANZUK is absolutely not about some kind of revived or empire 2.0 as is seemingly implied by the thumbnail. It's about co-operation and increased trade/mobility between like minded (culturally) nations in the world. Things like space, technology, energy, general trade, medicine development. International research organisations and the like. It also is NOT some kind of political union.
@@Culturiosity I have to be honest, I don't think that "empire" drums up Nostalgia for anyone. Certainly not for those who were subject to the awful things that came from it. Plus those who want CANZUK also don't feel nostalgic at the thought of it being revived. CANZUK isn't empire. So empire wouldn't drum up nostalgia for those who want it.
The headline very clearly STATES that is it "the NEW British Empire", it does not "suggest" it. If the content disagrees with this, then that is what is known as a "lie". And if anyone thinks the UK wants to have former colonies join it but not as subordinates....you really need to look into that. They can already cooperate as equals, there is no reason to change anything in that respect. The whole point of this childish fantasy is for Britain to pretend to be an empire again, so it can push other countries around, despite the fact that in reality they are already richer and more powerful than the UK.
In light of China, Russia, and other scheming states, CANSUK makes sense. Though NATO allies are strong, some members' resolve may waiver, for surprising reason (e.g. Germany and its dependence on Russian gas; India wanting to establish closer ties with Russia for their techs). An alliance of the same Sovereign strengthens its bond. Of course CANSUK is not enough, it will need traditional allies such as USA, EU, Japan, S Korea. Dissolve the Commonwealth and boot off members who booted the Queen as its Sovereign; those countries really don't want to be part of the Commonwealth anyways but only holding on as 'just-in-case' scenarios (e.g. Barbados, India). Re-establish with CANSUK and bring the dependent territories in closer.
I'm from the U.S. and I support CANZUK. It would help create a healthy balance of power in the world. I definitely don't think it should include the United States. The U.S. is not compatible with CANZUK.
I agree with this. It would help to make our trade partners stronger. I am not sure that I see it as "ruling" more like removing what red tape they have in what they already do; trades, tech, innovations, etc.
Take into account the size numbers of ships in our navies combined on the ocean, not to mention the bases on islands spread out among the World. I would think that we could keep our sea lanes open, this is simply because we are mostly island nations and have had to depend on the sea for hundreds of years for our survival. European and Asian countries are mostly land powers in there strengths because of their homelands having shared borders. No matter how you look at it Australia the US Canada and New Zealand have all been involved in trading on the oceans of the world since their birth as a nation. This leads me to believe that trade avenues between ours nations could be maintained, and all this is before mentioning Friends and Allies in all areas of the world just to mention a few by name would take a lot. Canzuk is a very realistic possibility and something that I as an Australian would welcome. 🤠👍🇦🇺
I like this idea a lot (Canadian here) but with regard to trade I doubt that will be of any benefit to anyone. First off the shipping of goods will cost a fortune. Secondly what exactly will we trade? Thirdly, one of the biggest problems for Canada is Quebec which runs on its own laws (the Napoleonic code not English Common Law) its demand that all immigrants speak French, all signs have to be in French and all goods sold in Canada have to be labelled in French and English. This makes imported goods more expensive especially those coming from smaller manufacturers especially in the States. Frankly they have been a pain in Canada's butt since the Battle of the Plains of Abraham (which they lost). We are forced to learn French in school from grade school to higher levels. We get taught proper French French but the Quebecois speak their own patois which is NOT proper French. I have relatives in the UK both England and Scotland, Australia and friends that live in NZ and love them all so I would be delighted to have them as a group.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand have tremendous resource potential that will be in high demand in the future. They made need faithful alliances to protect their resources and countries from aggressive nations.
Not necessary for it to be led by poms, this would probably be a negative in establishing CANZUK. Leadership located in NZ or on the Pacific side of Canada
Excuse my nitpicking............ Where will the Capital be? Whose currency will we use? Whose laws will we live under? We don't need a single capital? We'll continue to use our own currencies? We'll keep our own laws? What kind of a union is that?
The currency would be £ I feel as it’s worth the most out of all the currencies of countries involved, the main capital would most likely be london. The law would most likely be a mix of all countries
This is TOTALLY going to happen! This idea is not at all naive and jingoistic. It is sensible and truly logical, and has HUGE support in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, as well as solid leadership behind it in the mother country of Britain, right? Right?? Check back in 10 years and let me know how it turned out.
In Australia hardly anybody has any knowledge or interest in CANZUK and I suspect suspect it gets the same reaction in the other three countries. We are quite capable of forming alliances with many countries without this amorphous fantasy of warmed up leftover empire .
@@pjfread Thank you for confirming that. You knew my comment was ironic, right? Of course this is the stupidest idea to come along in quite some time. I just hope that some of those who aren't aware of that yet can be made aware. Stupidity doesn't always have to be a life sentence.
@@deannilvalli6579 a military alliance between India, the usa, Australia qnd Japan is 10 times more likely to happen, especially since Australia's interest has shifted over the years itself, Australia is looking to become less dependent on other nations
Yeah, the "native peoples" of Australia and New Zealand, right? The Aborigines and Maori? And the many First Nations tribes of Canada? That's who you mean, right? I am sure support for this idea is HUGE amongst them....
Just imagine what if it was from (CANZUK Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom) changed its name to (CANZUKUS Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States) but unless if the Letter (A) is added on the end THEN it would &/or will become (CANZUKUSA Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States America) as its very new name & that would be a Very Good idea of course.
As an American I wish nothing but the best for the Anglo-Sphere. In no way should the US be part of this Federation, but we should be working closely with CANZUK, cut all ties with China, the UAE, QATAR, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, their values don't align with ours. A stronger connection should be made with all English speaking countries, & peoples. We should contribute the most to eachothers economies & demographic. All countries should put priorities to developed countries as potential citizens, higher education, NO MORE economic dependents or non aligned cultures. East & South Asians are hard working, & should be sought out. Stronger BORDERS.
Should rotate it. An Imperial Congress might be a good idea, with a house of representatives based on population, but with a Senate drawn from major regions of member states (thus giving balance to UK having 50% of combined populations). A Prime Minister could be from anywhere or rotational, it's an interesting concept. One thing needed would be for CANZUK combined fleet to have at least 8 Trident submarines for much bigger deterrent
The only way it can guarantee not losing influence to bricks nations is letting US have leadership of the union but it would have to be even more integrated than the EU more like the federal union of the states of the US because let’s face it besides Bricks it would have to contend also with The EU for the future of the western culture and economical influences in the world
Please stop using current trade partners as a reason canzuk won't work, before we went into the EU our biggest trade partners were the commonwealth nations.
But you must also understand things have changed since than and so have these "commonwealth" nations. For example Pakistans closest ally is China. Pakistan hasn't backed the western world or nato allies since the 9/11 US terrorist attack. India is another example having much closer ties to Russia, India was a historic ally of the Soviet Union and one of natos biggest enemies in the cold war. New Zealand is directly pulled into the influence of China, NZ has banned the entry of any Australian military ships due to their new security agreement with the UK and US. China controls most of Australias shipping routes, China could easily cut off the UK from getting to Australia having the largest navy and being in the pacific. Australia and NZ are heavily dependent on China once dependent on the US, Australia and NZ won't make any moves for a union for fears of angering China. As for Canada, the Canadian federation has very strong ties with the European Union and heavily dependent on the US and the North American trade organization. The UK has been away for to long.
@@beasley1232And they can change again 🙄 India had always been Russia's ally, didn't stop us trading with them. NZ has not banned Australian military ships, not does China control anyone's shipping routes, not even their own, they have the largest navy in terms of number of ships, not in terms of tonnage, and especially not in terms of technology or doctrine. And have you not read the news, China's already tried sanctioning Australia, and they've accomplished nothing. And the only reason any country can be dependent upon another, is for lack of options. Britain being in the market to trade gives them options. So stop sucking Winnie the Poo's dick.
@@beasley1232 Only the Australian submarines when they are built are banned by default. Their surface ships come here regularly, and still will, so long as they send ships that are not nuclear powered and nuclear armoured.
Canzuk people will break Asean, rcep, nafta and the EU, because it will attract English-speaking countries and countries allied to English-speaking countries, countries that do not want Russia, the USA, China or Iran, as well as Arabia or Algeria as world leaders It won't be restricted to Anglophony, it goes beyond Anglophony either countries that love Anglophone countries allied members, countries like Switzerland, Norway, Brazil, Malaysia, the Philippines will join Canzuk, and that's what will make it in fact victorious, and the countries mentioned also never they threatened the 4 founding countries of Canzuk alias they like them they have colonies in them and they like the English language apart from the trade, culture, education and sport relations they have with the founding countries of Canzuk. I wish Canzuk luck and success and that the countries of good democracy, the meritocracy of sustainability are part of it, that multipolarity returns to the world and never again to bipolarism or tripolarism and never again to damn anachronistic and miserable cold wars. Covid and the Ukrainian war stopped and stopped the world it's time for the world to smile and be happy more than what it was.
Even with all those countries, their combined GDP and militaries aren't close to the US or China.. A lot are island nations, too.. Easy to blockade and not allow trade, especially with no navy without the US
What break? I don't know what the CANZUK is meant to do but I don't see why we can't join both an English-speaking "union" and the ASEAN. I'm Filipino BTW. Will the CANZUK even allow "brown countries"?
You actually think those 4 nations can stand up against the EU, China, Russia, the Arab world and the US all at once? That's more than 5 billion people and more than 80% of the world economy don't get ahead of yourself now. The UK no longer holds any negotiation power in geopolitics, they don't even have global or regional military power anymore.
And what other English speaking countries? UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and you said not the US.. What other English speaking countries do you speak of? and not the small carribean island's
CANZUK I think is a path that should be proceeded down and further focus on the commonwealth. We ruined many ties when we joined the EU with our commonwealth family.
@@bfc3057 I’m American and have many friends in those countries, they’re so excited about the prospect😄 Wouldn’t mind having the Brits take lead, they’re older and have great experience running an empire.
Alliances are important,Britain knows it cannot go it alone,but Canada,Australia and New Zealand are friends we can trust. Each of these countries have fought,bled and died with each other for well over a century. Plus they are the eyes of the world being so far apart.Personally l think a joint military where the command is rotated once a year too each one of the countries would make it fair and equal.
@@bfc3057 Commonwealth or not. World security is again the issue. Russias sphere of influence spans well into Asia,as does china's.No one who believes in democracy can sit on the fence anymore. Even Britain could become a Republic once the Queen dies. But friendships should be maintained or otherwise Russia will become the new nazis and China the New Japan of world war two.
All you have to do for any Assies who think Canzuk is a good idea is to tell them to get ready to receive 1-2 million aging Brits once visas are removed ....
Most white Aussies are Brits born on the other side of the planet. You guys are the immigrants, the poms. Proper Australians are black and that is a fact
I appreciate the video cause I want CANZUK to happen badly but it won't if people like yourself call it the new British empire. No. Britain should and would be an equal member of the Union with no more power than the others. Presidency should be rotated annually or something. So please don't push this notion of new British empire as it is off putting and this is coming from a proud Englishman/Brit
@@Ganymede559 Rome also was not a childish fantasy based on unrealistic nostalgia, and Rome did not put out short videos promoting an idea that has virtually no backing by any serious politician in 3 of the 4 countries mentioned.
The days of waspy empire over there is a organisation called " The Commonwealth " which fulfills those Brexiters genuine aims but ironically main trade is still with EU and those would be imperialists in Canada ,New Zealand, are only hastening the demise of the UK! ROI has and is now independent for 100 years population highest since 1851 an economy in the main thriving not without problems why ? because it is a proud member of the EU not harping back to the past hopefully Scotland will join us and eventually Ireland will be united in Europe where its future lays not dominated by neo imperialists old colonies should look to their future with their main markets are again not reliving a past long gone heading into the 21st century!
Even the head of the Commonwealth stated that it was in no way a substitute for EU membership, as it is, basically, a joke. Even though the organisation demands almsot nothign from its memebrs, already Barbados has left and Jamaica has threatened to leave. It is an artifact of a past no one but Brexiteers want to recreate.
@sandrabrowne2350 except before the UK was in the EU their biggest trade partners were outside the EU and it took several years for the EU to become britian's dominate trad partners. It's illogical to assume a transition back out would not also take years. As for it being imperialistic? How is the EU not more imperialistic? It has EU laws and mandates, increasing central control, etc. But has way more cultural and linguistical differences. If Canzuk is British imperialism how is the EU not franco-germanic imperialism (after all such a European ecconomic union was the goal of most German and French warmongers and imperialists since 1648). I am not nessiary pro-CANZUK, but I don't see how someone can be against it based on 'imperialism' and not also be against the EU.
There's no benefit for the US.. it has a much larger economy and military than all other members combined and is already allies and trading partners.. Would the other members want to be bossed around by the US? No... and the US isn't going to act like they're all equals, when clearly they aren't in every statistic.. makes no sense
@@Joker-no1uh The US isn't going to Run The Anglosphere Federation. Not according to what I've heard at least. While my country has the largest economy in the world, The Reason for CANZUK and the US Uniting into The Anglosphere Federation is practically due to The British, who would probably run the Anglosphere Federation. The United States kicked the British because of some Stupid Propaganda and Mostly False Allegations of Tyranny. The least The Brits can do for The USA is actually host the Capital of The Anglosphere Federation in the USA, while having London as the Second Capital City

Bro i saw a Maori flag in the start what they up2 they need to get home and start fighting for their own lands and identity instead of worrying about these pakeha problems
With all due respect to all those who believe this, as a Scotsman and as someone who has lived in Canada and Australia, this has no chance of progressing. It's a fantasy of conservatives longing for a time that is thankfully over. Canada is clearly more integrated with the US and its ties with Europe are broader than just the UK (France and even Germany).The Canadian focus is on its own union, with the problems in Quebec and with the First Nations. Australia and New Zealand have their problems stemming from their geographical position in Southwest Asian and the Pacific, and that is where they must focus and not on an archaic alliance with a European country. Fortunately, the new governments of these countries have understood this, whenever they focus outside their area, it is China that benefits. It should also be added that the monarchy is not as cherished in these countries as it seems - it is a subject that divides opinions and will very likely change with the death of the queen. The United Kingdom is in an extremely fragile position, we see the issue of the union of Ireland increasingly evident and the Union of Great Britain itself increasingly contested. It's also interesting whenever the UK wants to go "global" problems arise in Europe that the UK must be concerned about for its own security, like the current issue in Ukraine. Even if the EU ends something very similar would come in its place, Brexit only served to strengthen the union and for all those who say that the EU has problems forget that there were reforms and that there is political will for change, especially after we have taken the disastrous decision to leave, we were unfortunately one of the biggest obstacles. Finally, comparisons between the Commonwealth and the CPLP are simply taken out of context. The CPLP is not the successor of the Empire and has a purpose - to promote and protect the language (it's in the name), it has a side of political cooperation, but the focus of its members is on its regional alliances (MERCOSUR, African Union and ASEAN). The Commonwealth is the successor of the Empire and has no political, economic or linguistic relevance (there are countries that do not speak English with Mozambique), and it has countries that are completely different from each other and with much greater hostilities than the PALOP with Portugal.
@UCS_iMgRXY8MckSNnrKeflJw I agree that we will not return to the EU, there is no will and would not be in our interest. My point is that the idea of CANZUK is completely unrealistic, because these countries have different priorities, interests and security challenges that despite having points in common are not the same. It's a project based more on imperial nostalgia than on practicality and operability. I think it would be better for our economy, trade and above all for our security to have a pan-European Commonwealth, including European countries inside and outside the EU.
@@Ganymede559 yes i know i'm in the minority. but I am sure that in the not too distant future when we return to being the sick man of Europe that federalist imperialist nostalgia will disappear. the big problem is that at that moment our negotiating power will be reduced to 0
This video doesn't really understand CANZUK. It is not being put together by the UK alone. For example, CANZUK interanational is actually based in Canada, though it works in all four countries and has the support of politicians from each. It is not only a military alliance and currently each country has a high population of non-caucasian citizens. More research is needed. Also please research the current state of the Russian and Chinese militaries. If the war in Ukraine is teaching us anything it is that the Russian, and likely Chinese, militaries have numbers only. As far as the US is concerned, they would be happy to let another democratic alliance of friendly countries take the helm in a few areas that they cannot. AUKUS is a testament to this.

Usa fought a war to be independent from the UK they won't entertain such idea. Why shackle yourself to a corpse? Plus usa doesn't have real friends but pawns
CANZUK is bad news! A confederation is too much. Trade agreements and reciprocal or corresponding legislation on matters of mutual interest are one thing, but any kind of political union either as a federation or a "loose" confederation ought to be out of the question. "Loose" confederations don't stay "loose" but creep towards greater, deeper, and more pervasive political union with the commensurate loss of national independence and sovereignty.

We had that arrangement until the late 40s. I say we return to a formal union federation we’re we can have all the good things together. Much like the Nordic union had created in 1954.
The Nordic Passport Union allows citizens of the Nordic countries - Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland - to travel and reside in another Nordic country without any travel documentation (e.g. a passport or national identity card) or a residence permit.
Or even like the Benelux Union.
No chance western Canada wants that shit. That's a liberal thing. West want out of Canada
CANZUK benefits every one of the countries, joining with the UK Unites you to a nation with a high growing GDP and very strong army and global influence, joining with Canada gives you the option for a much cooler place to live with a lot of land, Australia a warmer place with a lot of land, and New Zealand is one of the most free countries in the world and most happy, imagine having the choice to just move travel live visit all across these places all around the world whenever you want to. I love the idea, I think CANZUK could store a lot of their military equipment in Canada and Australia, as well as boost the economies of the two, the densely populated UK would cause many to move to these less crowded countries thus boosting their economies. We are all different in our own ways but similar, it could be the start for a big positive future.
Yay
I want it to Happen but i dont think the uk will do it in the end ._.
Without a strong military and the blessings of our allies, this alliance would be pretty hard to do. The world won't stand around and let the 3rd largest military and 4th largest economy come out of nowhere
Very similar law system as you would expect being 4 English speaking commonwealth nations with ppl of mostly Anglo Saxon descent. there would obviously be a degree of autonomy in each area as the laws aren't totally ideal ( drug laws are at the two extremes regarding the UK and Canada) so the different nations could be states... something the UK and NZ aren't really used to.

With former French colony's abandoning France and joining the Commonwealth of nations, this CANZUK has legs and ultimatly could also embrace those Commonwealth nations interested into a tighter alliance along with non Commonwealth nations in a trading based relationship of shared values
maybe in a 1000 years when we've achieved a global federation, but before that, there's no way in hell india and africa will join the brits again
Yeah I think the furthest the close association could go is the Commonwealth Realms, so start with CANZUK and then if the small Caribbean and Pacific realms want to join later I think it would be doable. PNG would be the one outlier, but they were basically an Australian territory for quite a while so eventually they may seek closer ties.
I never see CANZUK proper including India or any of the African states.
Caribbean might want to think about something like the West Indies Federation again first and then join CANZUK as a unit to give themselves better negotiating power.

@rickykhehra7299 Yeah, but the USA chose to defect in 1776. All CANZUK nations are still under the British Crown.
CANZUK FOR WORLD SUPERPOWER
As a remainer, now we're out of the EU, we really need to find some other kind of union, and I think CANZUK might be a good idea if rejoining the EU is unfeasible
That’s a fact, the UK needs to partner with other countries to survive, but I would still vote to go back to the 🇪🇺
CANZUK would be way better for the UK than the EU. The Dominions felt deeply betrayed when Britain joined the EU/ whatever form it was in at that point, EEC maybe? It was seen as an abandonment and really hurt relations between Canada/ Aus and the UK.
CANZUK as generally proposed would not be nearly as centralized as the EU and likely wouldn't even involve a unified government, more of a series of deals between the governments of the 4 countries allowing for (mostly) free movement of citizens and maybe permanent residents (not criminals or temporary residents)
Borders would likely still exist, just with fast tracking for CANZUK passports. Possibly also a NATO style defence treaty which could also involve the US. I think personally that this should replace NATO entirely.

I doubt that all 4 countries would unite but i think that Canada and UK uniting and Australia and New Zealand uniting would make more sense.
The Canadians are more independent-minded than you think. They've learned that from their friends in the US... They will scoff at the idea of losing Independence for a Union with an over-populated, dying island in the North Atlantic. Quebec will never tolerate such an idea. CUM (Canada, United States, Mexico) makes sense logistically and politically. Australia and NZ is as useless as Canada and the UK if not more so. What can NZ bring to AUS? Their island produces nothing, and is as useless as the AUS outback. NZ has no military, no industry, nothing... They are not a player in the Pacific and AUS will see them as a burden and not an asset.
@@nicholasmark2392 Yeah im aware that Canada probably would never agree to unite with the UK, i was just stating that location wise it would make a lot more sense than the canzuk union. I dont think a union of Canada and the UK would be very good but the idea of New Zealand and Australia potentially uniting is a lot more reasonable if NZ wants to unite
Why unite? Australia and NZ, Canada and UK are already pretty close. Also in the UK itself I think outside of the political class I don’t know how popular this idea would be. Closer military and economic ties are probable but political Union…
I can easily se NZ and AU uniting for sure
@@nicholasmark2392 Canadian nationalism is on a rise- but the thing about Canadian nationalism is that it’s biased around being a colony of the uk; compared to US nationalism of independence. Canada will most likely agree to trade agreements
The SLOCs between Canada and Oceania should be somewhat secure against China, granted the union slightly boosts defence spending and in favour towards the maritime. As of now, the current Royal Navy can secure the GIUK gap against the Russian Northern Fleet, the German and French navies could trap the Russian Baltic Fleet, and the Italian and Spanish navies could keep Russia from escaping the Mediterranean.
A slightly greater and combined RN budget could ensure 6-8 CSGs in the fleet allowing great presence in the Indo-pacific, granted only 4 Dreadnaught SSBN's are ordered. All our fleets are undergoing modernisation efforts, commonality shouldn't be too hard to achieve. I've imagined how such a fleet would look like in detail, and it's quite exciting.
This is a joke, right? Perhaps we can get Winston Churchill back.
@@pjfread What part of it is unbelievable?
Australia, Canada and the UK are all building the type 26 frigates.
Good move ditching the French submarine design for the US.
As far as I can tell, the Anglosphere and its ongoing Empire, has been well underway since the World Wars of the 20th Century.
The establishment of the Council for Foreign Relations (CFR) is the premier Anglo Empire think tank in operation within the US since the 1920s.
I now say that Canada was essentially "anschlussed" to the USA in 1940, when the UK traded much of its overseas military assets to the USA fir "Lend/Lease" aid in WW2.
For that year was also when the Pentagon quietly put away its plans for invading Canada.
Though Australia has been very close to both UK and American elites, the one time it tried to exercise its sovereignty in the mid '70s (withdrawing troops from the Vietnam conflict, attempted closure of the Pine Gap CIA/NSA spy base), the US & UK implemented a constitutional coup d'etat against its Labour PM Gough Whitlam.
Globalists hated the Empire because it stood in path of world internationalist government. The motivation behind FDR's punitive economic pressure on the British (while giving no conditions on aid to Soviets), Truman's support of Atlee's abandonment of India, and Eisenhower idiotic betrayal at Suez, were but a few of the major examples of this.
CANZUK would be a great counter to China and a major boost for the western alliance

CANZUK is absolutely not about some kind of revived or empire 2.0 as is seemingly implied by the thumbnail.
It's about co-operation and increased trade/mobility between like minded (culturally) nations in the world. Things like space, technology, energy, general trade, medicine development. International research organisations and the like.
It also is NOT some kind of political union.
Yes, that’s what I mentioned in the video. The empire reference is just for nostalgia. No one would be ruled by others

@@Culturiosity I have to be honest, I don't think that "empire" drums up Nostalgia for anyone. Certainly not for those who were subject to the awful things that came from it. Plus those who want CANZUK also don't feel nostalgic at the thought of it being revived.
CANZUK isn't empire. So empire wouldn't drum up nostalgia for those who want it.
Western marxists trying not to write a wall of text when some sort of empire mentioned challenged(Impossible)
The headline very clearly STATES that is it "the NEW British Empire", it does not "suggest" it. If the content disagrees with this, then that is what is known as a "lie". And if anyone thinks the UK wants to have former colonies join it but not as subordinates....you really need to look into that. They can already cooperate as equals, there is no reason to change anything in that respect. The whole point of this childish fantasy is for Britain to pretend to be an empire again, so it can push other countries around, despite the fact that in reality they are already richer and more powerful than the UK.
In light of China, Russia, and other scheming states, CANSUK makes sense. Though NATO allies are strong, some members' resolve may waiver, for surprising reason (e.g. Germany and its dependence on Russian gas; India wanting to establish closer ties with Russia for their techs). An alliance of the same Sovereign strengthens its bond. Of course CANSUK is not enough, it will need traditional allies such as USA, EU, Japan, S Korea.
Dissolve the Commonwealth and boot off members who booted the Queen as its Sovereign; those countries really don't want to be part of the Commonwealth anyways but only holding on as 'just-in-case' scenarios (e.g. Barbados, India). Re-establish with CANSUK and bring the dependent territories in closer.

Take into account the size numbers of ships in our navies combined on the ocean, not to mention the bases on islands spread out among the World. I would think that we could keep our sea lanes open, this is simply because we are mostly island nations and have had to depend on the sea for hundreds of years for our survival. European and Asian countries are mostly land powers in there strengths because of their homelands having shared borders. No matter how you look at it Australia the US Canada and New Zealand have all been involved in trading on the oceans of the world since their birth as a nation. This leads me to believe that trade avenues between ours nations could be maintained, and all this is before mentioning Friends and Allies in all areas of the world just to mention a few by name would take a lot.

Makes sense, former imperial family… same laws, language and similar cultures. Without barriers would put it above the rules behind china.
USA would have 54 states.
I like this idea a lot (Canadian here) but with regard to trade I doubt that will be of any benefit to anyone. First off the shipping of goods will cost a fortune. Secondly what exactly will we trade? Thirdly, one of the biggest problems for Canada is Quebec which runs on its own laws (the Napoleonic code not English Common Law) its demand that all immigrants speak French, all signs have to be in French and all goods sold in Canada have to be labelled in French and English. This makes imported goods more expensive especially those coming from smaller manufacturers especially in the States. Frankly they have been a pain in Canada's butt since the Battle of the Plains of Abraham (which they lost). We are forced to learn French in school from grade school to higher levels. We get taught proper French French but the Quebecois speak their own patois which is NOT proper French. I have relatives in the UK both England and Scotland, Australia and friends that live in NZ and love them all so I would be delighted to have them as a group.
What the hell are you talking about? There is litterally no law in Qubec that demands immigrants to speak French. The fuck?
as a Canadian, I would rather see CUM more than CANZUK
Nobody likes the French
Canada, Australia and New Zealand have tremendous resource potential that will be in high demand in the future. They made need faithful alliances to protect their resources and countries from aggressive nations.

Where will the Capital be?
Whose currency will we use?
Whose laws will we live under?
We don't need a single capital? We'll continue to use our own currencies? We'll keep our own laws? What kind of a union is that?
Its an alliance of sovereign nations, there would be no CANZUK capital other than the ones they already have for each respective country.
The currency would be £ I feel as it’s worth the most out of all the currencies of countries involved, the main capital would most likely be london. The law would most likely be a mix of all countries
This is TOTALLY going to happen! This idea is not at all naive and jingoistic. It is sensible and truly logical, and has HUGE support in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, as well as solid leadership behind it in the mother country of Britain, right? Right??

As an American I wish nothing but the best for the Anglo-Sphere. In no way should the US be part of this Federation, but we should be working closely with CANZUK, cut all ties with China, the UAE, QATAR, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, their values don't align with ours. A stronger connection should be made with all English speaking countries, & peoples. We should contribute the most to eachothers economies & demographic. All countries should put priorities to developed countries as potential citizens, higher education, NO MORE economic dependents or non aligned cultures. East & South Asians are hard working, & should be sought out. Stronger BORDERS.
The permanent security council seat would probably have to be shared with Can / Aus / NZ
Should rotate it.
An Imperial Congress might be a good idea, with a house of representatives based on population, but with a Senate drawn from major regions of member states (thus giving balance to UK having 50% of combined populations). A Prime Minister could be from anywhere or rotational, it's an interesting concept.

Please stop using current trade partners as a reason canzuk won't work, before we went into the EU our biggest trade partners were the commonwealth nations.
But you must also understand things have changed since than and so have these "commonwealth" nations. For example Pakistans closest ally is China. Pakistan hasn't backed the western world or nato allies since the 9/11 US terrorist attack. India is another example having much closer ties to Russia, India was a historic ally of the Soviet Union and one of natos biggest enemies in the cold war.
New Zealand is directly pulled into the influence of China, NZ has banned the entry of any Australian military ships due to their new security agreement with the UK and US. China controls most of Australias shipping routes, China could easily cut off the UK from getting to Australia having the largest navy and being in the pacific. Australia and NZ are heavily dependent on China once dependent on the US, Australia and NZ won't make any moves for a union for fears of angering China.
As for Canada, the Canadian federation has very strong ties with the European Union and heavily dependent on the US and the North American trade organization. The UK has been away for to long.
@@beasley1232And they can change again 🙄 India had always been Russia's ally, didn't stop us trading with them. NZ has not banned Australian military ships, not does China control anyone's shipping routes, not even their own, they have the largest navy in terms of number of ships, not in terms of tonnage, and especially not in terms of technology or doctrine. And have you not read the news, China's already tried sanctioning Australia, and they've accomplished nothing.
And the only reason any country can be dependent upon another, is for lack of options. Britain being in the market to trade gives them options. So stop sucking Winnie the Poo's dick.

Canzuk people will break Asean, rcep, nafta and the EU, because it will attract English-speaking countries and countries allied to English-speaking countries, countries that do not want Russia, the USA, China or Iran, as well as Arabia or Algeria as world leaders It won't be restricted to Anglophony, it goes beyond Anglophony either countries that love Anglophone countries allied members, countries like Switzerland, Norway, Brazil, Malaysia, the Philippines will join Canzuk, and that's what will make it in fact victorious, and the countries mentioned also never they threatened the 4 founding countries of Canzuk alias they like them they have colonies in them and they like the English language apart from the trade, culture, education and sport relations they have with the founding countries of Canzuk. I wish Canzuk luck and success and that the countries of good democracy, the meritocracy of sustainability are part of it, that multipolarity returns to the world and never again to bipolarism or tripolarism and never again to damn anachronistic and miserable cold wars. Covid and the Ukrainian war stopped and stopped the world it's time for the world to smile and be happy more than what it was.
Even with all those countries, their combined GDP and militaries aren't close to the US or China.. A lot are island nations, too.. Easy to blockade and not allow trade, especially with no navy without the US
What break? I don't know what the CANZUK is meant to do but I don't see why we can't join both an English-speaking "union" and the ASEAN. I'm Filipino BTW. Will the CANZUK even allow "brown countries"?

The days of waspy empire over there is a organisation called " The Commonwealth " which fulfills those Brexiters genuine aims but ironically main trade is still with EU and those would be imperialists in Canada ,New Zealand, are only hastening the demise of the UK! ROI has and is now independent for 100 years population highest since 1851 an economy in the main thriving not without problems why ? because it is a proud member of the EU not harping back to the past hopefully Scotland will join us and eventually Ireland will be united in Europe where its future lays not dominated by neo imperialists old colonies should look to their future with their main markets are again not reliving a past long gone heading into the 21st century!
To be hones, it is normal that they trade more with their close neighbours, the EU
Go for it maybe you can bomb the tube with your German freinds
Even the head of the Commonwealth stated that it was in no way a substitute for EU membership, as it is, basically, a joke. Even though the organisation demands almsot nothign from its memebrs, already Barbados has left and Jamaica has threatened to leave. It is an artifact of a past no one but Brexiteers want to recreate.
@sandrabrowne2350 except before the UK was in the EU their biggest trade partners were outside the EU and it took several years for the EU to become britian's dominate trad partners. It's illogical to assume a transition back out would not also take years.
As for it being imperialistic? How is the EU not more imperialistic? It has EU laws and mandates, increasing central control, etc. But has way more cultural and linguistical differences. If Canzuk is British imperialism how is the EU not franco-germanic imperialism (after all such a European ecconomic union was the goal of most German and French warmongers and imperialists since 1648).
I am not nessiary pro-CANZUK, but I don't see how someone can be against it based on 'imperialism' and not also be against the EU.
Let's unite Canzuk and The United States into the Anglo Federation
Either that or deepen the bonds with the commonwealth
@@Culturiosity even better
There's no benefit for the US.. it has a much larger economy and military than all other members combined and is already allies and trading partners.. Would the other members want to be bossed around by the US? No... and the US isn't going to act like they're all equals, when clearly they aren't in every statistic.. makes no sense
@@Joker-no1uh The US isn't going to Run The Anglosphere Federation. Not according to what I've heard at least. While my country has the largest economy in the world, The Reason for CANZUK and the US Uniting into The Anglosphere Federation is practically due to The British, who would probably run the Anglosphere Federation. The United States kicked the British because of some Stupid Propaganda and Mostly False Allegations of Tyranny. The least The Brits can do for The USA is actually host the Capital of The Anglosphere Federation in the USA, while having London as the Second Capital City
@NoahBoydOfficial That would never happen.. That would be like Walmart handing over ownership to some local grocery store.. IDK, where you got the idea that the only reason Americans fought for independence was because of some propaganda, but that's the best British propaganda I've heard in a long time.. It was inevitable for the US to declare its independence from Britain.. Would you listen to some inbred King thousands of miles away and better yet pay him? Nope, Murica was coming
Bro i saw a Maori flag in the start what they up2 they need to get home and start fighting for their own lands and identity instead of worrying about these pakeha problems
With all due respect to all those who believe this, as a Scotsman and as someone who has lived in Canada and Australia, this has no chance of progressing. It's a fantasy of conservatives longing for a time that is thankfully over.
Canada is clearly more integrated with the US and its ties with Europe are broader than just the UK (France and even Germany).The Canadian focus is on its own union, with the problems in Quebec and with the First Nations.
Australia and New Zealand have their problems stemming from their geographical position in Southwest Asian and the Pacific, and that is where they must focus and not on an archaic alliance with a European country. Fortunately, the new governments of these countries have understood this, whenever they focus outside their area, it is China that benefits.
It should also be added that the monarchy is not as cherished in these countries as it seems - it is a subject that divides opinions and will very likely change with the death of the queen.
The United Kingdom is in an extremely fragile position, we see the issue of the union of Ireland increasingly evident and the Union of Great Britain itself increasingly contested. It's also interesting whenever the UK wants to go "global" problems arise in Europe that the UK must be concerned about for its own security, like the current issue in Ukraine.
Even if the EU ends something very similar would come in its place, Brexit only served to strengthen the union and for all those who say that the EU has problems forget that there were reforms and that there is political will for change, especially after we have taken the disastrous decision to leave, we were unfortunately one of the biggest obstacles.
Finally, comparisons between the Commonwealth and the CPLP are simply taken out of context. The CPLP is not the successor of the Empire and has a purpose - to promote and protect the language (it's in the name), it has a side of political cooperation, but the focus of its members is on its regional alliances (MERCOSUR, African Union and ASEAN). The Commonwealth is the successor of the Empire and has no political, economic or linguistic relevance (there are countries that do not speak English with Mozambique), and it has countries that are completely different from each other and with much greater hostilities than the PALOP with Portugal.
You’re opinion doesn’t matter. You literally vote for a social democratic nationalist party, but fascist no?
@@oppionatedindividual8256what? your comment doesn't make any sense
@UCS_iMgRXY8MckSNnrKeflJw I agree that we will not return to the EU, there is no will and would not be in our interest.
My point is that the idea of CANZUK is completely unrealistic, because these countries have different priorities, interests and security challenges that despite having points in common are not the same.
It's a project based more on imperial nostalgia than on practicality and operability.
I think it would be better for our economy, trade and above all for our security to have a pan-European Commonwealth, including European countries inside and outside the EU.
Glad you're in the minority then.
@@Ganymede559 yes i know i'm in the minority. but I am sure that in the not too distant future when we return to being the sick man of Europe that federalist imperialist nostalgia will disappear. the big problem is that at that moment our negotiating power will be reduced to 0
This video doesn't really understand CANZUK. It is not being put together by the UK alone. For example, CANZUK interanational is actually based in Canada, though it works in all four countries and has the support of politicians from each. It is not only a military alliance and currently each country has a high population of non-caucasian citizens. More research is needed. Also please research the current state of the Russian and Chinese militaries. If the war in Ukraine is teaching us anything it is that the Russian, and likely Chinese, militaries have numbers only. As far as the US is concerned, they would be happy to let another democratic alliance of friendly countries take the helm in a few areas that they cannot. AUKUS is a testament to this.
Really sick of people thinking this is another empire.
Is the EU an empire?
The EU wants to be an empire. They even want their own army.
I never thought about it that way to be honest
Not yet 😏.. Is the US an empire?
@@Joker-no1uh yep.
No usa they got independence from war
The Canadians are more independent-minded than you think. They've learned that from their friends in the US... They will scoff at the idea of losing Independence for a Union with an over-populated, dying island in the North Atlantic. Quebec will never tolerate such an idea. CUM (Canada, United States, Mexico) makes sense logistically and politically. Australia and NZ is as useless as Canada and the UK if not more so. What can NZ bring to AUS? Their island produces nothing, and is as useless as the AUS outback. NZ has no military, no industry, nothing... They are not a player in the Pacific and AUS will see them as a burden and not an asset.
A dying island. Please give over. Try telling that too the eu that knows if Britain goes it fully alone on wto it may well allow London and other parts of the UK to be bigger digital traders bringing in far more investment from global players. We are a nuclear power,why do you not think Russia has not nuked us so far. We have small but effective military bases throughout the world and still one of the richest countries in the world.We have garnered a new respect by not cacking our pants like so many eu countries by arming and advising Ukraine against putin.
Yes and wealthy enough to be independent, with a strong and rich neighbour
@@Culturiosity UK would benefit more from a Union w/ their European neighbors. Too bad they fumbled that… They are a dying Island. A small, North Atlantic island that has no real influence over the world anymore. The English speaking people and their influence, revolve around North America now. The Americas. The Western Hemisphere, will dominate the world if the two continents were to unite. Look at that for your next video… A United Americas.
@@DavidWilliams-nr6uk Yes this is true,along with coal,gold,opals and a massive agriculture base.
@@DavidWilliams-nr6uk My bad I meant no disrespect to the Aussies. You're right. My main gripe is AUS burdening themselves with NZ. My mistake on Aussie's Outback. You are right. Iron core aka Austrailia lol.
What if can CANZUKS happened Canada Australia New Zealand UK and the US made the Union
Too OP
Then it would be CANZUKUS
As much as it'd be MEGA OP if the US joined, there are two many wokies.
And the US already takes care of enough nations.. #1 trader with Canada.. Shares tons of foreign military bases with UK.. Australia is already an ally.. NZ is irrelevant.. it'd be a burden to the US.. much more likely that US and Canada, maybe the UK, because they are kind of close but Australia's best trade partners are in Asia
@@Joker-no1uh NZ is irrelevant
Usa fought a war to be independent from the UK they won't entertain such idea. Why shackle yourself to a corpse? Plus usa doesn't have real friends but pawns
@diego morata Did I say that I want to the USA to join? Americans are cringe
It won't work. But uk is desperate right now lol
If they were closer together maybe it would be easier but yeah
ew
Ew
CANZUK is bad news! A confederation is too much. Trade agreements and reciprocal or corresponding legislation on matters of mutual interest are one thing, but any kind of political union either as a federation or a "loose" confederation ought to be out of the question.
"Loose" confederations don't stay "loose" but creep towards greater, deeper, and more pervasive political union with the commensurate loss of national independence and sovereignty. And decentralized power among consituent states will gravitate increasingly towards the centre as time goes on.
Anyone who wants to sell out his/her country's national independence and sovereignty to some contrived "Anglosphere" federation or confederation is an absolute fool!
