A Winnipeg couple is willing to drop the gloves with National Hockey League after they were told to buy a $400 ticket for their six-month-old son to attend the 2016 Heritage Classic game.
Speaking outside the seat of the Walloon government, Ms Freeland told reporters: "It seems evident for me and for Canada that the European Union is not now capable of having an international accord even with a country that has values as European as Canada."
She added: "Canada is disappointed, but I think it is impossible."
It's ironic that Wallonie would be the one to scupper this deal as it's a French speaking region, they would have had more opportunities to benefit from trade then most other parts of Europe! As a Canadian, I am very disappointed in Europe. Our federation was founded primarily by people from a variety of European countries and European civilization is still the foundation our state is built on. I've always thought we should be closer to, and trade more with Europe rather than be so heavily integrated only with other North American states. It's unfortunate it came to this, there was give and take from both sides in those 8 years of negotiations, you can't get every little thing you want in a negotiation, you need to compromise. If the EU isn't capable of doing that, then it's too dysfunctional an entity to continue.

What's going on with the trade deal isn't really about Canada and its relations with or image in Europe.
It's about stuff that is going on in Europe and Belgium. CETA is just a lightning rod that some malcontents have latched onto.
