Canada should be doing this too or maybe start accepting Euros to pay taxes. We have to get away from control of US institutions controling our lives.

Why would Canada ever accept taxes in anything but Canadian Dollars? You get paid in CAD, and taxes are automatically deducted for most jobs. Exchanging to a different country’s currency first makes no sense and would give control to EU institutions for no reason?
Canada has the resources to set up their own system. They could easily expand Interac, which covers a lot of types of transactions already, at least in-person. Online shopping is going to be an uphill battle getting all the merchants to accept more than just Visa/MasterCard, but maybe with Shopify being Canadian they could make it easy.
Shopify supports MAGA.
And? They operate the majority of online businesses across Canada, so good luck getting all the business to support some new payment method without integrating it into the systems they’re already using. This is a practical statement, not a political one.
