You didn't really need the sarcastic smilie, "blissful state of union" conveyed your feelings
But this point didn't cross my mind ... so there are no English or French or Germans any more? All are equal
(given the latest news about some basket-case economies in Europe, some would appear more equal than others). I'm going to have to do some reading about this EU thing ... right now it seems to be a lot of unworkable bs (outsiders view of course). I asked the question because I remember that when CFB Kingston became a temporary home for some Bosnian refugees, the several children born here were automatically Canadian citizens ... but, as you say, that doesn't apply in the new, homogenized Europe.
