Morocco shouldn’t have been discarded back in the 80s

Absolutely. Canada is right there in the heart of Europe, just a short 4,000 km canoe ride across the Atlantic. I say we replace Poland with Quebec and call it a day. 🇨🇦🇪🇺

They are not in Europe

I mean, joining is a big thing and seems off. So why don’t we just try to have special treaty between Canada and the EU to work closer together? Like way closer than ever before?

Maybe they should hold off on that thought, given that we’re becoming a surveillance state…

We wish. Well, a lot of us do anyway. I think after you guys made recent deals with el puerco our interest dropped a fair bit. Plus we kind of got the sense that we generally weren’t welcomed, something mumble mumble EurovisionÂ

Sure, why not. They’re similar enough culturally, their prime minister is pretty cool, and we can use all the allies we can get

Should Join the BRICKS too. Both of them!

Losing UK and getting Canada instead would certainly be an upgrade. UK is resource poor, Canada is immense in terms of natural resources. I hope they join, it would be awesome.

Well, they are ethnic Europeans. So why not?

Just incorporate it into France and call it outermost regions.

we small need to stick together.

As much as I would like it, I just don’t think it’s feasible as although we are very similar, we also have quite a few differences. But, I would like to see my country (Canada) develop closer ties with Europe.

Canada joining the EU doesn’t really make practical sense. The EU is a regional union with its own geographic and economic challenges. Canada is literally on another continent.Plus, adapting to EU rules might mess with stuff they’ve already built

Sorry canada, as a European i dont want to have a Schengen land border with the US. The potential of gun smuggling into the Union is to great of a risk

Not even 50% of the people want it, so why posting it here?

Canada is not even in Europe

It doesn’t make sense and it probably wouldn’t work but let’s do it to spite the americans

We don’t need non Europeans with different cultures joining, thanks.Â

I don’t want to join, but as close of relations as possible outside of that. I suspect many of the people responding to these polls only understand 1 percent of the implications a decision like that means and I think there would be a lot less yes answers of they had the full story.
This is more of an emotional response than a thought out one I’m my opinion. No offense mean friends. I just think that while Canadians would rather have European food standards and consumer protections, the losing autonomy would be a big issue with a fair amount of people here.
Like I said though, I’d love to continue to more deeply develope trade and movement of skilled labour as well as hopefully picking up a thing or two from Europe with food and other standards.

Hold up. Maybe test things with Eurovision first.

One small issue though.

Let Greenland buy Canada. They are sharing a land border already. Then ask Greenland very nicely if they would like to join the EU.

With those numbers, it’ll never happen.

This is so abstract I don’t even know where to start. Good luck dealing with Canadian dairy cartel and convince them to follow EU regulations

How many layers of colonialism would this be if Canada joined the European Union? Maybe just go for an Arctic Union. EU member states could proxy for the EU
Bright-Blacksmith-67 on
A silly question. Canada needs a relationship like Norway or Switzerland. Actual membership does not provide any plausible benefits for EU or Canada.
Exact-Country-95 on
I wonder how that would work given that they can be pretty strict for not letting people in for certian crimes? Even Bush jr. had to apply for an exemption over his cocaine fueled car crash. Presumeably, Europeans with prohibited criminal history can easily skirt this if it’s anything like the mainland border crossing.

Only if it can teleport to the Europe (continent).

Canada can be a close partner to EU without necessarily being in the EU.

I wonder where all those people who were yelling at me that this is a bad idea a couple of weeks ago on this sub are…?

No, It shouldn’t because Canada isn’t in Europe. Easy.
