Bruxelles è “onorato” che i canadesi vogliono unirsi all’UE, ma dice che non accadrà: l’UE dice che è lusingato dai risultati del sondaggio, ma invita il Canada a combattere le tariffe di Trump in mano.

Oh well. Maybe EEA membership is possible at some point, but it was always going to be highly improbable
As long as a united front is shown towards American and Russian aggression, there isn’t that much of a need though
We can elect new EU politicians… just saying.
Canada isn’t a European country. The EU should only be for European countries. Other types of bilateral relationships are possible, however.
Increasing trade between our countries is definitely what the goal should be, and having the “attack on the EU is an attack on Canada” principle. You still have a dependable North American ally in Canada
GDI when
One option would be Canada to merge with an European country then. Just sayin’.
[Redditors when they find out what the E in EU stands for](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/027/475/Screen_Shot_2018-10-25_at_11.02.15_AM.png)
then just change article 49… this is a very stupid argument… culturally there aren’t many countries left, that could be included anyway, Canada, Australia and New Zealand should be given free rein…
Hey, Canada – we can just annex you and then you will be in the EU /s
We would need to make a second layer, like BRICS but for Europe, and that second layer they could join countries from outside of Europe 🤔
The EU has rules and stands by them. Shocking…
Why not some sort of parternership affiliation?
I have an idea. We cede a tiny island somewhere in Europe to Canada. Now Canada is a European nation, with just a somewhat large ‘outermost region’.
Maybe we can trade Canada for Hungary…?
Just unite the Commonwealth, the rejoin as the UK and backdoor in the rest
It works in Terra Invicta (game) so should work IRL 😬
I’m Canadian and we love you but most of us don’t want to join you:)
I wouldn’t say we as Canadians want to join eu but as an option to the 51st state the EU is 10000% better
Hear me out, Canada buys some small uninhabited island off the coast of Europe, or some small plot land on the continent. Canada becomes a European country and therefore, can join the EU.
What if we silently kicked out Hungary and had Canada pretend to be Hungary? Could they join this way?
I’d love to have canada in the EU, but realistically, the bigger (more countries) are in, the harder it is to take decisions, and the more likely you’d have a country who would work for the enemy ( *ahem* hungary *ahem* ). Moreover, I don’t think Canadians would like it so much if some higher instances would tell them what to do and how to do things. Don’t think they’d like much to have free circulation of people either.
Anyone who seriously thought Canada should join the EU is an idiot
Hell, as a Canadian I’d be ok with just being able to compete in Eurovision.
It makes sense. We should support each other, but Canada and the EU has very different views on a lot of things. Getting into the EU because of one particular crises doesn’t seem like a long term possibility for either party.
If we could disconnect Canada from North America and float off to join Europe we would.😅
The EU needs to change and modernise. Canada would be a huge member and could improve the lives of all European and Canadian countries
Europe is not a federation and never will be . We want all the countries to keep their own autonomy and authenticity in decisions!
To give all the power to only one person is wrong and scary ! Look at USA !
It wouldn’t be EU if a country not in Europe joins now would it?
Allow disaster states like hungary to join, but not Canada? There will be deeper involvment anyways, but the EU is too restricted. Should it be that if one country elected a pro russian candidate they can singlehandedly sabotage the Union?
Honestly I see absolutely no reason why the EU should be limited to only one continent (that isn’t even technically a real one) If we want peace and prosperity between all democratic nations then we should strive to align our interests. And so far the EU has been the best tool for that purpose that we ever devised.
Maybe not the EU but I think Canada; Australia; New Zealand and the EU (CANEU) should work more closely together to oppose this hostile US administration.
You just have to expand the definition of what constitutes ‘Europe’. Just say it’s more of a state of mind than a landmass.
Killjoys.
The end result of this absolute satire of a timeline is that Canada joins Eurovision together with Australia
Honestly let them join and kick Hungary
As a Canadian Europhile, 🙁
Article 49 needs to be changed.
If a country shares the same values as the whole common, meets all economical, administrative etc. standards then it should be welcomed with open arms.
Geographical blocks to bring countries together and live in peace is like racial segregation.
I don’t know countries outside of Europe that would fit into the EU better than Canada.
The funny thing is, in the end, who Canadians are, if not Europeans?
The fact that we’re divided by this big pond called Ocean, shouldn’t mean anything in terms of bringing nations to alliance.
What if we lived on a planet without oceans, then Canada would be allowed? Geography argument is a stupid argument.
I’m all in favour of inviting Canada to the EU family.
But, but, as a European I also want to be a little Canadian!
Canada does not need to be part of the EU. A close alliance will be more than enough.
“You’re a nice person, but I really just want to be friends…”
We didn’t ask really, but hear me out. What if Canada buy a little fake lordship on the internet that supposedly gave us a little lot of land in Europe? Then technically, we would become a European country.
