The drenching of self-serving ideology in CNN’s “analysis,” like heavy, overflowing gravy obscuring the sight and taste of the underlying mashed potatoes, is something less than honest.

Holding Back the E.U.: What Is It?
In addressing the E.U. Parliament in February, 2017, Canada’s
prime minister, Justin Tradeau, claimed that the E.U. “is a truly remarkable
achievement and an unprecedented model for peaceful cooperation.”[1]

member states.
