Unsurprising
I would straight up move to Canada if it had New York
But a new york with less cars and strodes
Give it a few years
Canada would definitely be safer being closer to Europe but how are you going to move all your stuff?
The EU and Canada share a land border. This is just natural.
(The EU and Brazil too, but one step at a time)
Are we talking about Quebec? Because I’m pretty sure it is part of Canada, as strange as it might seem…
(FYI I love you Quebecians, I am sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings!)
Denmark. On Hans Island.
MAY THE SUN NEVER SET ON THE EUROPEAN
EMPUNIONIt already doesnt set. Thanks to frances overseas territories
We also share a maritime border with France. May the universe bless Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
How is this surprising, exactly? Canadian asking any surprised Europeans.
Being part of the eu means subjecting to new laws as EU law beats national. This would mean stopping some bullshit that happens in Canada as well as accepting that you don’t get to have full national sovereignty anymore. Whilst I think being part of th eu is absolutely worth it i would’ve guessed that it more contentious
that’s not really true. member countries are encouraged to implement EU laws but they are enforced at the national level still so it’s up to the local government. basically every EU country has exceptions.
Not really . There is a legal framework to go after nations which do not sufficiently translate eu law into national law. So the important lines are not up to the national governments and they can ultimately not do how they please. I do agree though that in practice in can be slow moving and that there is fishy stuff going on around what is prosecuted and what is not. I think Hungary is a good case to explain this as they continuously try to play the union: sometimes it kinda works but a lot of the times they get “punishment” in the form of the eu withholding funds etc… it’s not a perfect system but I think saying that they are only encouraged and that it’s up to the national governments is an overstatement. If the eu says “here is GDPR” it is happening, if the eu says “here is limits to nitrogen pollution” it is happening.
i am thinking more about countries with state alcohol monopolies, or extreme data retention policies.
Try dealing with Agent Orange and his hourly tantrums. I’ll take regularly paced orderly legislation changes that we have an overall say in.
Not sure about full membership at this point, but having our Canadian friends join in the EFTA / EEA would be great!
We have have CETA, which has the intent to harmonize our economies and trade already so we are pretty tight already.
As a Canadian, I’d love to have a closer partnership.

https://abacusdata.ca/what-canadians-think-about-canada-joining-the-european-union/
After reminding Canadians of the recent tariff threats and the musing of Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, we asked if the Canadian government should look into joining the European Union. 44% of Canadians think that the Canadian government definitely or probably should look into joining the European Union, while 34% are opposed to it. About 1 in 4 Canadians are unsure about the suggestion.

That’s not surprising, that’s in the margin.
those numbers are outdated, I’m sure I saw lower in an article this weekend, like 24% in favor of the US
I’m quite surprised about the high percentage, considering that it’s not a given that Canadians would be equal in terms of citizenship (voting for example) if annexed by USA
Can California get in on that too?
California has the upcoming ballot initiative to become independent in November 2028. Mark your calender.
I would first like to see Canada treat First Nations with some dignity and respect first. Just because they’re marginally better than USA doesn’t mean they’re not awful.
