Please do
There is an existing free trade agreement between the EU and Canada called Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
The more the merrier.
Fuck it, why not. Might as well rejoin the free world, now that half of it wants to kill itself for no reason.
I for one would be happy about it. They seem to be great allies and is so shameful how US disrespected them.
you are more than welcome
Yes! The Netherlands welcomes you!
It’s a funny world we live in.
If mexico and the EU retaliate with tariffs then the USA will be basically boxed in.
China won’t help them. Russia will welcome this also.
So who is left? Some parts of Africa? Brazil?
Also this is a perfect opportunity for working class in US to rebel because if you are boxed by tariffs they have to repy on you and move production inside the country. So you have room to negotiate with the government to get what rest of the world already have
– Public health care
– Public education
– Reasonable drug prices
– Paid vacations
– Paid maternity and paternity leave
– Police that held responsible for murdering you when you step out the line
You know, benefits we in normal world call common sense.
Come and join us – we like Canadians!
Would love it if the canadians joined the eu.
Not sure if joining the EU is the right path but closer co-operation certainly makes sense.
So while getting rid of all Americans services as of now, the more Europeans that get rid of paying money to Netflix, prime, ChatGPT and what have you, the better.
Alternatives like Viaplay, deep seek etc. are available.
As long as we get rid of the damn veto, I’d be on board.
We already have a border with the EU (Danish islands)
We’ve been waiting for this moment. Welcome!
Theoretically are the countries that could ask for membership reduced to the european continent. But nowadays we have potential members from asia.
So you are welcome. We also speak French – if that helps.
Not join but closer cooperation is always a good idea.
Canada could reastically not join the European Union as there’s no political momentum for it right now but that’s no problem at all because you see **tons** of these kinds of hybrid-agreements between European Member States and e.g. Canada that could practically mean the same thing other than in name.
Yes, you are so welcome. Guys anyone wanna break the bad news though? What? Nobody? Oh, well….Alright, I’ll do it. We have an annual song contest….
Friends are always welcome!
I think this is fantasy and a waist of time to discuss,but we certainly need to strengthen our economic ties.It will be beneficial to both of us and make us more resilient.
take us in Newfoundland at least 🙏
It wouldn’t work for Canada. The EU is not just a free trade area. It is also a customs union, not to mention a political project.
What makes a customs union different from a free trade area (like CETA, CPTPP or USMCA) is that it is exclusive. If Canada were to join the EU, it would immediately be forced to leave the USMCA, CPTPP and all other free trade agreements with non-EU countries.
75% of Canada’s trade is with the USA. The EU does not have a free trade agreement with the USA. Joining the EU would mean that the EU common external tariff would have to be imposed on all imports from the USA, and with the abolition of NAFTA/USMCA, the USA would in turn impose its external tariff on Canadian goods, crippling the Canadian economy.
On the other hand, Canada could join the European Economic Area (like Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein), without joining the EU and its customs union. This would, however, mean that Canada would have to adopt all EU regulations without having any say in developing them.
fuck yeah bros, rejoigniez nous les frangins
I don’t see it happening but it would be so amazing
I don’t think Canada needs to join the EU but the EU, Canada and other like minded countries and blocs (including the UK) which are all liberal democracies, with broadly very similar outlooks need to start making more effort to cooperate to protect themselves against chaos over the next few years and beyond.
There are a quite a few countries out there that are strong democracies with very similar values and outlooks and a lot of exposure to the US. We can’t just allow ourselves to be driven over by Trump and USAmerican chaotic politics.
Yeah, but you Canadians would have to do a government program to culturally europeanize and soften the north amercianess.
No more comically huge pick-up trucks, no more car only single family home suburbs, Public transport and walkable everywhere.
Fuck it, let’s include them in the EU. Their culture, outside of the first nations, is very close to the british one, and they were allowed in. Being European, like how it was to be a Roman in the past, is not about being born somewhere, it’s about being part of a culture and a following a set of ideals and values.
Please do. And bring those Brits back with you. They are annoying twats but we still love them. Kind of.
