The UK and Canada have agreed a deal to continue trading under the same terms as the current EU agreement after the Brexit transition period ends.
The PM and Canadian PM Justin Trudeau made the "agreement in principle" in a video call, the Department for International Trade said.But it rolls over the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement reached by the EU and Canada after seven years of negotiations.
Speaking during the video call, which also included International Trade Secretary Liz Truss and her counterpart Mary Ng, Mr Trudeau said: "Now we get to continue to work on a bespoke agreement, a comprehensive agreement over the coming years that will really maximise our trade opportunities and boost things for everyone.
Encore un succès du Brexit !
BBC do stop it, Canada is no big deal. We do half our exports with Europe!!!
Fools gold
Wasn’t Brexit about getting out from under the EU and their pesky ‘rules and laws’ that the UK were *forced* to abide by? So, what? Surely this now just makes Canada the enabler? We’re in hock to an EU deputy? What... what is the point of Brexit?
They agree does the EEU agree
Omg the photo is so awful, Boris looks worse than usual
GiselaStuart Where's the advantage you promised? This is the SAME terms as before, as now. But my kids have lost their freedom. I'd like an explanation.
GiselaStuart Now it is good enough for GiselaStuart that UK can trade on SAME terms as before with Canada WHILE LOOSING tariff free access to UK‘s by far biggest export market, the EU!“Sunny Brexit uplands“where red tape with EU is concealed while MAINTAINING Canada FTA is a „victory“! 🤣😂
If it isn’t better than what we had in the EU, there is no point being outside it.
Until new deal struck.. that will of course have strings attached as we are a small market
quick justin get ur beautiful Canadianess away from him
They make it sound as if the majority of this country’s trade is with Canada.
This is a good progress. There was no need to be afraid about jeopardising these agreements.
U.K. is ending existing deal with Canada. I don’t think you can congratulate anyone for U.K. securing exactly same deal with Canada as U.K. has now. Record so far. Worse deal than now with Japan, riddled with caveats about state aid & EU-U.K. tariffs
Great! But get your masks on
Could we have Canada’s Cannabis laws too
What are we gaining? Please remind me.
I thought UK was in a better position to make deals ? Wasn’t there an ‘Oven Ready’ deal already ? Lol .. Canada just told UK to get back in the line .. behind EU 🤣
More misleading headlines from the 'journalists' at the Beeb. DefundTheBBC
The U.K. has left the EU! In order to continue trading on EU terms - that it has now lost a voice in shaping. This is the complete opposite of how Brexit was sold. As predicted.
It’s worth pennies
well done, bet that has pissed the remoaners & the EU commission off
🤫
An essential ingredient to the Brexit pantomime: Votus Hardup: Brexit is behind you! Baron Boris: Oh no it isn't! Votus Hardup: Oh yes it is! Votus Welloff: Curtains!!
👍nice move..canada!
tm014d1009 I’d be really happy about this if BorisJohnson hadn’t spent the past eight months being an authoritarian lunatic and attempting to steal our freedoms.
You can fool enough of the people enough of the time.
when is a deal not a deal when its a Brexit deal-no change here then?
any news on how China is doing with covid and a second wave. BBC should have been trying to find out how china managed to beat covid without a vaccine.
Ello gingers
This sounds promising.
Ha ha ha ha
It took years for the EU Canada negotiations..when the UK finally negotiates a new trade deal with Canada do you really think Canada will make the same concessions with the UK as it did with the EU.. wait for the first dispute to arise and see how Canada will turn the screw.
But but but EU is bad🤷🏿♂️
Lol
So what was the point of all that then?
~Tories achieve nothing, while confirming EU terms are the best.
You mean, we got nothing?
Good news eh BBC? 👋👋👋🇬🇧🇬🇧🎉👍
So this is preferable to no deal🤔 and really ‘as you were’
Five bucks says brexit will see a repeat of Trump “replacing” Obama’s initiatives- it will be all the same but worse, just under different names
Lol old photo though. Obviously they aren’t able to meet in person, but it’s funny to see the old beardless Trudeau pictured in this years stories
Did someone say we couldn’t get the same deal on our own outside the Eu?
So that means we have to stick to EU terms too then. All that for BRINO?☠
Thats alright
Time to arrange UK/Canada trade deal: 11 months. Time to arrange EU/Canada trade deal: about 15 years. And the BBC said that nobody would want to trade with us. More bollocks from the biased BBC defundBBC
So they couldn’t do it with Europe It’s definitely Boris bungling with the EU if he can work with Canadian requirements
Forgive me but I thought the idea was to get a better deal not the same deal
So that's moose pate, Canada Goose jackets and Baby seal fur coats for Tory elite wives. Luvly jubbly Boris.
Ahh the Great Resetter Trudeau...Watch 'Coronavirus: Trudeau tells UN conference that pandemic provided 'opportunity for a reset'' on YouTube
Comparing the birds they've had.
If only we hadn’t left the EU we could trade with them under EU terms too.
Great news hopefully I can see my brother soon 🤣
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
GiselaStuart So we leave Europe (spending almost as much to leave as we've ever paid to be a member of the European Union) just so that we get exactly same deal as we had before. Wonder why we bothered to pay all that money to leave.
Then what's the point of leaving EU?
Pity the U.K. and the EU can’t agree a deal.
It cost how much?! To keep what we have already?!
Soon to be unshackled from the EU 😎
Taking back control + v
No mask then
Doesn't that mean that the EU covertly decides the terms of our trade with Canada? Oh sorry, I'll shut up...
Wow, a deal that was the same as before. Great. How many left to replace and how much is it all going to cost?
One, only another 100 to go !
Easy peasy, bbc will hate this!
So what’s the point of brexit?
A little misleading by the bbc. Using the same terms we currently do. But now better because we can improve on trade directly with no EU dictating or interference involved. Excellent.
Might as well have stayed in the EU if all we’re going to get is the same deal. Which of course is all we can get from nations that have an agreement with the EU. Did Boris and the rest of the Brexit fannys not mention that? 🤣🤣🤣BrexitShambles BorisBluster
Well done! 👏🏼. Short meeting was it: “How about we keep doing what we’re doing?” ‘Alright then’ “Beer?”
Of course they do. Brexshit was never conceived until CANZUK became a contingent reality. I'm amazed no one has ever mentioned that.
Nice and local then...
Wooo 👍 🙄
Don't trust him, he has broken international law. Canada beware, he is a born liar.
Remoaner bait
This was great news when trussliz tweeted it but I’m damned if I’m going to “like” a BBC News tweet.
So the same deal we had in the EU.
This is great news. We are almost no worse off than we were yesterday. I take it all back. It's all worth it
Great.... years of negotiating to get us the same deal we already have. Well done Boris
So looks like our exiting deal with the EU is a good one, and can’t be bettered!!. Perhaps we should reconsider the disaster that is Brexit.
As i have tweeted yesterday, one of the Mekelle University students who had been wounded at the result of air strike was dead and buried at near by Orthodox church today. Condolences to his family, friends and to the entire community of Mekelle University. Anotherwarcrime.
Useful, everything flown in, great for planet..
Not quite as good as the previous deal. Well done, so worth the economic hit of Brexit.
Good news.
Remember remainers said we won't get deals like we get been part of the eu Why would little old England get deals like they have not been part of the eu lol. Free trade agreements agreed lol. Getting eu trade deals but not been part of the eu
I came back to twitter today, and it's the same old tripe. All these idiots spouting it's the same deal. Well of course it is. But your missing the important part.... we don't pay £39 billion for the pleasure. Jesus wept. I give up. I'm back off twitter again.
Continuity Agreement pending a deal, surely?
Well that’s not enough...
Maple syrup with everything then?
This isn't progress..this isn't better..this is what we already have..
At least we have one friend thanks Canada.
The BBC is lied to by trussliz This deal will continue a settlement already agreed between EU and Canada in the Ceta and doesn’t give any NEW benefits to UK businesses. She just copied the EU work without giving EU the credits. andrewmarr
What have we gained then? Brexiteers must be crying into their cans of Stella. Haha
This will upset the cry baby remoaners 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The point of Brexit was to get better trade deals, not just continue with the same trade deals. This is not news.
Lol! Yay brexit! So great we’re STILL trading under EU terms 😂
trussliz StatusQuo! Not a sunny upland! In this case a permanent snowdrift.
Wow , must be worth £billions and billions
What is that Trade deal worth to the UK, I hope I’m right in saying it’s 1.5% of our Trade. Why is this news 1.5 before Brexit, 1.5 after Brexit🤦♀️.
I had to smash the PS5 : Je casse ma PlayStation5
What's the advantage in that? Will it continue the same thing? And it loses a CONTINENT of 27 countries on its border. Boris is destroying everything.
Dead cat story! BBC deflecting bad news again! What about bullying?
Is the the Canada style free trade agreement we’ve been hearing about for the last 4 years?
Easy-peasy when not dealing with scum
Vernon Kay and Keith Lemon appear together on the set of celebrity juice
What’s the point of leaving the EU then?
Big up Canada
So we could have had the same deal had we stayed in the EU, another pointless trade deal.
Not quite correct. Most Favoured Nation status under WTO rules that the best trade deal UK can get with any country trading with EU can only be the same no better. Suggest you correct your report to reflect this and what will now happen.
another one hilarious story nobody cares about.
The more Brexit goes on & the longer our useless politicans negotiate the more & more likely it is we say we left the EU but in reality we haven't. All that will have changed is our cost which will have increased for this omnishambles. Either leave in it's entirety or remain.
Great, a deal to maintain an already existing deal, those negotiations must have been tense. God help us.
Well, doesn't that just make Brexshit worthwhile? BoJo = jackass. Apologies to all Jackasses of the equine persuasion.
BartvanHorck HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA so much sovereignty 😂👍🇪🇺
It’s no different to the UK deal in the EU 🇪🇺
Well, that oven ready deal is just yesterday’s dinner it seems 🤣🤣
To keep trading under EU terms means Britain must follow EU rules, doesn’t it ?
Let me understand better, ‘cause i am confused here. The UK won’t strike a deal with the EU, but they will trade with the EU by using the agreement in place between Canada and the EU, is that right, is it? Meaning, the UK will trade via Canada in order to deal with the EU... ehm.
Until next year, blah, blah, blah. No, we’ve signed an agreement where nothing changes. That’s progress for you...
It's great achievement in my opinion everyone told you that you are going to be doomed without EU but not the case you can still have same deal as you had with EU or better and you don't need to be under EU rules I think that's great achievement
Thought we were supposed to be getting better deals? The same isn't better.
Both nations have done well starting off their trade agreement on existing principle for trading, which is expected to run post-Brexit transition, an expiry period allotted 4 both the departing UK&the EU to talk through their trade barriers. The PM&team has not been slackening.
'Under EU terms' is the most hilarious thing I've ever heard. There's your brexit 🤣
All sorted then!
If he tries to trade with Turkey this will mean that U.K. held ISIS !!!
Under EU terms. So why did we have to leave the EU again?
All that noise now all the opposite
Hard to imagine how his little brain is going to deal with the Brexit and the pandemic at the same time 😁😁🤧.
Wow!! All that effort for zero change stopbrexit
Err doesn’t the EU already have one?
I thought we were after better deals
Boris the Butcher together with the Nazi, if you look at the rest of the illuminati we are in good hands
Shock. BBC find some way to try and undermine it.
Incoming comments by idiot FBPE and lefty morons in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Woo fucking hoo.
Incoming tweet from the department of trade boasting Maple Syrup will stay the same price.
So, are you leaving EU to strike deals on 'EU terms' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Such a joke... Brexit BorisJohnson
🤡
🤡
This is the dawn of a new era...
You couldn't make it up!!
The world is now our oyster
Ha ha ha ha.
SPENDING A FUCK TON OF MONEY TO PRESERVE WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE KLAXON
BorisJohnson we could have done that by staying in the EU 🇪🇺
'hello I'd like a Canada style deal with the EU please' 'erm well we've got a temporary EU style deal with Canada, that any good to you?' 'close enough, I'll take it'
So we have spent billions, caused political turmoil & would have cause a recession, now hidden by covid, to get exactly what we had before?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thankfully we've secured supplies of Maple Syrup and...I can't think of anything else.
Working flat out to keep trading under the EU terms 😅🤣
Brilliant
So remind me, after spending hundreds of billions of pounds on this 'project', it's the same deal as we had before? This is sound economics?
😂😂😂😂..so when all the Bozo backing idiots claimed we'd be better off when we left the EU what they really meant was that if we were lucky enough to get keep EU trade deals we'll be same old same old.. 😂😂😂😂
This is fucking laughable
We already had this deal with Canada. Why is it even a news story ?
EliseSalomon
Germany is the 4th biggest economy in the world. France 7th. Italy 8th. Canada 10th. We need Canada, of course. We’ve left the EU however at great trauma & expense to get exactly the same deal with Canada! And still ultimately we need to trade with the EU...
Keep what you’ve got. Hardly news.
Lays a lie to the claim that we won't be worse off under WTO terms, not that anyone with a bit of common sense would fall for that.
Great, now trade the same as we currently do with the EU and the country might not be completely fucked.
What use has Brexit...if you still want it the European way?
There really is some fucking knobs using Twitter get a life 🤪
Fabulous what a deal! We negotiate what we already have those benefits are stacking up 🤦🏼♂️
Help our First Lady get to 12K followers firstdogs46 our babies are the best!
Biden saying thanks at his family's outing.
So what was the point of Brexit?
Brexiteers are the biggest losers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You know how else you could get that deal?!?!?
We have a bowl-cut morally-devoid moron and Canada get Trudeau. Can one opt out of a birth nationality now or later? Asking for an entire nation.
It's a mere $6.73 billion whereas exports alone to the EU are nearly £300 billion.
So can I live and work there as I might have been able with EU membership?
It's...not really a negotiation if you're getting the same thing (or arguably a worse thing) than what you already have. You're meant to improve your position through negotiation. How is this an improvement?
ஊடாக பாடுகளே! அரசு விழாவில் அரசியல் பேசியதை விமர்சி்காமல் உங்களுக்கு சூப்பர் என்பது உங்க குடும்ப பெண்களை அவன்களுக்கு கூட்டிவைப்பது இணைடா ..
£billions spent to get what we already had. Winning....
Not better than EU deal then?! Remind me, what was the point of BREXIT?!
Well another non event. Another non benefit
Couldn't make it up!
Maple syrup imports are safe.
Brilliant news spaffed up 130billion to have the same trading terms with Canada and worse ones with Japan!!
Maple Syrup and BIXI Bikes... how about: Clotted Cream, Double Cream and mince pies for Christmas🙏😺🇬🇧💞🇨🇦
WTF
And so
Brexit is going well then.
That was a difficult negotiation then 🙄🙄
So, our sunlit uplands are....the same as before?
Any chance we could do that with the EU?😂
Brexit, so much time and hassle spent over so little, while dividing a country. This is where 30 year's of Murdoch's media EU rules on cucumber stories got the UK - an unfit, Americanized shower of shites like Boris and co. People voting against their own best interests.
You couldn't make this shit up.
so why did we leave the EU if that is the best you can do, thought your Free Trade meant the sky was the limit.. the fools Canada will drop the tories, there is no TRUST.
FFS, this is meant to be lauded as a successful negotiation? Exactly what we had before.
So the government have done a deal that keeps things the same? So it's NOT a trade deal just an agreement to carry on.
Can we trade prime ministers
So really what was the point and how much has it cost so far and how much more will it cost. Charlatans the lot of them.
The free new post Brexit world - EU terms - break-even then.
Well at least we wont run out of mayple syrup....
Therefore we will then deal with the EU on EU terms, couldn't make this up!!! yougetwhatyouvotefor
It does little for the trade in services and in particular almost nothing for the trade in financial services, which is very important for the UK economy. It also does not remove border checks. It does not actually benefit the UK much just sounds good on paper.
Sunlit uplands
Under EU terms, for now, but that'll change. So don't get excited Remainers. 🤣
I see Priti Patel managed to persuade Boris not to sack her yesterday.
No Such Thing as Conspiracies
So much for an ambitious trade deal, then.
Good news!! We don't have to worry about prices in food rising
RULE BRITIAINNNIA, WE DID IT!!!!!! We can trade with the world without the evil EU....oh wait, the deal is the same?
Wtf
Well worth leaving the EU then.
Well, that was pointless 🤣🤣
AMERICA WILL BE BACK AS SOON AS THE DUMBASS LEAVES OFFICE
What are you saying? That this will save us
