Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).

Rules:

1. No Bigotry or Hate SpeechAny forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it. Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.

2. No ZionismAny forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.

Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.

3. Stay CivilPlease maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.

4. No MisinformationSpreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.

Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.

5. No AI ContentPlease do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.


Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

Taoiseach [Ireland's Prime Minister] Micheál Martin was in Ottawa in September, where boosting business links was on the agenda. And earlier this week, the [Irish] Government backed a new report that examined opportunities for increasing trade between the Republic and Canada.

The report says Canadian companies already employ more than 22,000 people [in Ireland], while more than 19,000 in Canada are working for Irish companies.

However, it states that there is significant potential for future growth in trade and investment. In particular, the report points to the clean tech, fintech, agri-food and life sciences sectors.

The study, commissioned by the Government, employers’ group Ibec, and the Ireland-Canada Business Association, suggests that there is potential to increase trade in goods between the two countries by €1.2 billion annually – a 34 per cent increase – and to expand trade in services by almost €500 million.

...

The report states that trade between the two countries has nearly doubled since a deal between Ottawa and the EU was reached in 2017, reaching approximately $9.6 billion in 2023. The Republic is now Canada’s 15th largest trading partner.

“Canada has the potential to increase exports in financial services, air transportation services and management and consulting services. Ireland has potential to increase exports in computer services [eg, tech sector exports] and insurance and pension services,” it says.
