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)
We also share a maritime border with France. May the universe bless Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
MAY THE SUN NEVER SET ON THE EUROPEAN
EMPUNION
Not sure about full membership at this point, but having our Canadian friends join in the EFTA / EEA would be great!
As a Canadian, I’d love to have a closer partnership.
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
Try dealing with Agent Orange and his hourly tantrums. I’ll take regularly paced orderly legislation changes that we have an overall say in.
Well every member state still has full sovereignty. If you really don’t agree you can freely leave at any time as the UK proved. EU membership is completely voluntary.
Of course we do but the question is if Europeans want us in. I’d think so, but I’d like to see
Nothing against it I’m just curious about what the definition of Europe will be in that case
EU is not the definition of Europe 😂
No, it’s the European Union. So would it be the European and Canadian 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.

I would straight up move to Canada if it had New York
Give it a few years
Unsurprising
those numbers are outdated, I’m sure I saw lower in an article this weekend, like 24% in favor of the US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.
That’s why the EU is the best trade alliance. It gives you the opportunity to maintain your national autonomy and to benefit from the advantages of a trade alliance.
Right, I think this is the kind of model that should basically be scaled to the entire planet eventually. Maybe it’s regional alliances that nestle into a bigger alliance on top of whatever the specifics are, it’s clear the way to go is to preserve individual country/regional identities and independence while increasing cross-collaboration and alignment.
You give up a LOT of autonomy and sovereignty to join the EU, as far as the (semi-)harmonized fields of regulations go. Which is ever growing, by the way.
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.
