Nope, as much as i like Canada atm, this is a long-term bad idea.
I’m all for close partnership as much as possible, but the European Union shall stay European, mainly because we dont know for example how Canada will look like in 10years, and if something goes wrong then someone with bad intentions could be sabotaging the European Union from overseas.

it all depends on trump/republicans – if he continues the way he does right now im pretty sure we will see a canada that tries to join and a rejoining gb. if they change course we will see neither (in the near future at least)

At this point, it would be a Western Union, hehe

Rebranded the Atlantic Union?

Coming from a Canadian, I’m against it. It would cause more problems for Canada. Adding another level of government would make issues like Western alienation and Quebec worse and many would see Brussels as having too much control. I would rather see closer relations with the EU.

Canada should be an external partner inside the free market / free movement of ppl.

Cute but the Canadians would never give up the required sovereignty once they realised what is being asked of them.

Yes! Common values matter the most and Canada definitely has healthy core values. 🇨🇦+🇪🇺 Stronger together

It would not work as a full EU member. Canada isn’t giving up control over its currency anytime soon, losing the ability to value it is a massively powerful economic tool.
Canada has somewhat similar laws to the EU but things operate differently here. We are harmonizing things like recognizing EU safety standards for equipment and vehicles. But we play loose with law enforcement and rules in general. Canada has a lot more freedoms and it is not a nanny state. We lean towards less laws overall. We don’t need stickers warning not to run a gas powered generator indoors. We just assume some basic levels of intelligence and we like it that way. It is a great filter that improves the average intelligence level by thinning the herd.
But Canada loves the EU would absolutely support a much closer working and immigration relationship. We consider you guys to be extended family.

As a European I have no qualms with the issue. The EU has shown that a continent divided and at war with each other for milennia can unite and grow with one another, despite cultural differences and historical grievances. The more nations that share our common goal for union, shared wealth and peace, the better.

Isn’t Canada just nicer US?

I’d only be in favour if there is overwhelming support in Canada.
Maybe they could join the EFTA with Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. They would get the Schengen Area border-free travel and the European Single Market, while remaining non-EU members.
We could see how that goes and take it from there.

But they’re not even in Eurovision!
