  2. Imagine of Canada was part of Schengen. Would be pretty wild.

  5. They can join what ever Norway and Switzerland has perhaps?

  10. Great. Visiting Canada with just an ID card. A dream come true.

  11. Canada joining the EU before Turkey would be one of the funniest outcomes of this mess

  12. Would love it, but I just don’t see it working out logistically. Developing stronger bonds and working on solid trade agreements are the best I think we can hope for:

  13. Would Canada be willing to move away from its current car dependent city design?

  14. They shoould ease in by doing the Eurovision song contest, that seperates the men from the boys.

  15. Well, I guess that’s one way of killing the dream of European Federalism.

    Please agree on a customs union, common defence policy, or whatever, but let’s stop this talk. Let European Federalism – arguably the one thing that can save the EU and Liberal Democracy – be a thing. The moment you start treating the EU like the OECD is the moment the EU stops being a political project.

  17. In a literal sense, unlikely.

    In the sense of alignment with the free world – freer trade and movement, Defence treaties, Eurovision Song contest, etc, bring it on!

    Also, Carney was governor of the Bank of England from 2013–2020 – before, during and after Brexit. He knows about it.

  18. Wait, would that make French the second most known language in the EU?

  19. It strangely feels natural, like even if they fall short in some of the EU standards especially for food, they already feel like they are very near in terms of politics and overall sentiment.

  20. What a weird website, when I try to scroll to the bottom of the page, it keeps loading more and more stuff, I can never get to the end of the page.

    >A recent Abacus Data poll indicates nearly half of Canadians are in favour of joining the EU.The survey was conducted from February 20-25, with a sample of 1,500 Canadian adults.

    >The poll explored public opinion on Canada’s relationships with foreign partners and specifically asked about general support for Canada becoming a member state of the EU.

    >The results showed 46% expressed strong or somewhat supportive views for Canadian EU membership, while 29% were strongly or somewhat opposed, and 25% were unsure.”*

    So, **700** Canadians approx, based on this survey, expressed strong or somewhat supportive views for Canadian EU membership.

  21. Won’t happen, but Canada can def build new relationships.

  22. wait the sample size was 1500. Gotta wonder to where all was represented hahaha. Probably not a lot of the Quebecois.

  24. If Canadians wanted to join the EU I’d be cool with it! Not a big fan of the strong-arm approach their Southern neighbour is alluding to. If the feeling between Canadians and us in the EU is mutual, let’s do it!

  25. Canada , UK, EU , Australia & New Zealand being together would be a formidable alliance & that of like minded countries.

  26. As a Canadian, I have a feeling most Canadians support the idea in theory until they learn about all of the changes that would come as a part of membership.

    It doesn’t matter anyway though because the EU has already said it’s not happening.

  27. Might just be my opinion but I think we welcome all Europeans here with open arms.

  28. Canadian here, I want to bring my family to Europe and make new friends, learn new cultures and work hard. All for joining EU!

  30. If you look at the globe it would actually fit very well. We just need to add Greenland and Canada as well as Svalbard (completely) and were good to go

  31. OMG, that would be one hell of an FU to trump, that would be amazing.

  32. We Canadians know that from a logistical perspective it’s really far off if it’s even possible, but I can tell that in principle we’re very ok with the idea.

    And if we had a choice of being annexed by the United States or joining the EU, we’d chose the latter 100 times out of 100.

  33. I don’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed in the EU.

  34. The Champions Ice Hockey League would become pretty interesting 🙂
