There is French territory just off the coast of Newfoundland too (see Saint Pierre and Miquelon), also Denmark is right next door because of Greenland. So while still pretty far fetched, there is some precedent for European territory in North America.

Canada shares a land border with Greenland on Hans Island.
The Celtic Sea is not an ocean.

White supremacist imperialist conglomerate (non-US version)?
Once again, we are forced to raise the lingering question: Are Italians White?
Earthed Union the EU.
