A lot of countries in Europe already have their own country-wide payment systems.
What we’re seeing now in Europe is the stage where those multiple country-specific systems become interoperable and a new international payment system appears.
Canada only needs the kind of thing which has long been available in countries like The Netherlands and Portugal.

At least we have e transfers and debit unlike down south. I for one will be jumping on the first non us credit card however.

As an American, I just may do the same.

You do realize why we’re scrambling to get a European credit card, right? I mean what’s going to stop us from cutting Americans off when Trump decides to invade San Marino?

Oh I hope that they name it something mildly silly. Like “Lone’y” or “broke buckz”

How does debit work for fraud? Are banks more willing to refund when theres5fraud? In the US it feels like it’s mostly on the user to bear

Depends on your bank, some have insurance on debit (like a credit card) but a lot in Canadian banks are moving to visa/MasterCard debit cards (since a bunch of our banks moved into the us market and are therefore tainted).
