As an aside, Canada, Australia, China, U.S. are all not in the european union and are doing arguably better than the eu.

Seriously? The EU wasn't even created until 1993. Maybe get your facts straight before pulling stuff out of your rear.
The UK economy is more than 45% tied to the EU in exports. What happens when opposing countries impose tariffs? They are a bigger trading block and can negotiate as one and there will get better terms based on what they can bring to the table. Odds of getting a better deal are extremely unlikely and anyone that sells you on whether they can are the same ones that said the Brexit process with be orderly... more Russian-backed ultra right-wing "nationalist" talking points that really have not basis in facts or reality.
