I don't get how we aren't. We share a land border with Denmark and we're closer to France than the Netherlands are.

    technically, we're closer to France than we are to any other EU contry besides Denmark... there's a little island just off of Newfoundland that's still French.

    That's what I was referring to, the distance to travel from Canada to France (that island) is less than it is to travel from the Netherlands to France
