I agree with the Canadian trade minister when she said 'it seems obvious that the EU is now not capable of having an international agreement, even with a country that shares European values such as Canada'. On the one hand it shows how dysfunctional the EU can be, on the other it shows how hard it might be for us to get a new deal with the EU.

We don't share your values though...that is a strange misconception you have. In agriculture, your country has been staunch on keeping Canadian canola out...and rightfully so imo. It has ruined farming for us here.
I think Brexit was the beginning of the end of big trade deals... sign of the times and all that. The question is now, what happens going forward
