Can Canada join the EU?

1. No it can’t.

   EU rejected membership to Morocco under the grounds that it is not in the European continent.

2. Australia regularly competes in Eurovision, so I can’t see how this is much different.

3. Given that “European” isn’t defined, I wonder if we could argue joining based on being former colonies of England and France — or perhaps based on the fact that the majority of Canadians immigrated from Europe. 

   Barring that, there’s the Saint Pierre et Michelon argument?

4. I don’t think it can because it’s not part of the European continent. Unless they wants to rename it and change the rules.

5. The rules are all made up, sure they can, if the EU and Canada are willing partners.

6. YES

7. It might be possible but requires huge legislative changes to comply with european directives and regulations. In case welcome

8. The situation is changing rapidly all over the world. Things thought outragous only a short time ago are now reality. 

   Canada forming some sort of partnership with the European Union — probably short of full membership if we’re realistic — is a something being discussed today that would have sounded foolish two weeks ago. Let’s see how things look in six months

9. They would never be allowed in Schengen with their extremely lax immigration policy

10. No, thank you

11. So long as we keep the dollar I’m down !

12. Sure. They can just rename the EU to the North Atlantic Trade Organization.

13. As a Canadian , I’d rather join the usa

14. There’s no reason Canada can’t join on the basis of not being European, when the Asian country of Cyprus is already a member and Armenia might become one in the future.

15. They cannot. They are on the other side of the atlantic Ocean,lets be serious. They are not europe.

    Stop joking about lettin’ Canada in europe.Totally no sense.

    Europe is a joke ,we all know it,but there must be a limit to it.
