For me, I am hoping that my Commonwealth Free Trade book gets some attention and gets people talking.

In Canada, there may be some sovraintistes in Quebec who don't like the idea, but I plan on using the "success" (fingers crossed) of the book to argue that Canada should launch the effort for a parallel francophone organization.

It puts France on the spot if they argue against UK participation in Commonwealth Trade but want to pursue this. If they don't, then Canada dominates "L'Association de livre-echange de la Francophonie" or ALEF.

Canada, Cameroon, and Kiribati - I believe - are the 3 nations with a foot in both the anglosphere and the francosphere - combining for a total of over 100 nations.

I see Canada acting as a lynchpin for the Anglosphere, the Francosphere, and the Americas, and have gone so far as to argue this to people in my party...
