Not an expert on this, but if Orban is really stubborn about it - and flaunts EU rules generally - couldn’t the suspension clause be used on Hungary? If I’m understanding it right, once voting rights are suspended, they’d no longer have a say in objecting to Canada’s accession during the duration of the suspension.
It already probably would have been for all the other nefarious shit they do, except they’ve had a sympathetic fashy government somewhere else in the EU to block it. It was Poland, now it’s IIRC Slovakia.

I have no clue, but I hope they figure it out soon. This is extremely annoying.
