Canada

Canadian here, everybody I know would love this

And Canada does have a land border with an EU country - Denmark. Canada and Denmark had a long standing border dispute over Hans island featuring multiple armed raids. It was resolved in a mature and sensible fashion to just divide the island. Good for all involved.

As a Canadian... we didn't know this was an option. But hell yeah, we'd join the EU.

This Canadian would be happy to join.

I think the EU is waiting to see if we get PP or not since we're on the brink of stupidity like the US was. If we elect a PM interested in being a civilized member of the global stage, I think we'll be invited in.

I would be happy if we at least could ratify CETA finally. Sheesh

I would love to join the EU, my grandpa immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands after WW2 but Netherlands doesn't offer citizenship to grandchildren ):

Would be nice to have the freedom of travel to the EU and vice versa if anyone wants to come over and visit Canada.

At first glance it sounds good but joining the EU officially is unnecessarily complex. It would make more sense to join Europe similar to Iceland and Norway.

I'm doubtful full membership will ever happen, and even an EEA Norway-style agreement where we adopt 75% of the EU's laws without representation but keep our fishing and agricultural policies (pre-requisites for the Atlantic and Prairie Provinces to agree), would take decades to be negotiated, signed and ratified with all the dysfunctional, proportional representational governments in Europe right now.

There's been discussions about "associate membership" in the EU to bypass the European-ness requirement, but I don't think that's gotten any traction.

I would be grateful for any kind of free movement agreement that gains traction right now, even with CARICOM or MERCOSUR.

Then Turkey is the "First time?" hanging meme.

I assume there are multiple cameras from multiple press agencies, so they're looking all over.

The one you're talking about probably hadn't blinked in a minute.

Absolutely correct. There are plenty of mutually beneficial arrangements short of full membership. And an EU membership application process typically takes decades. We need solutions now.

I don't think anyone in this picture seriously expects Canada to officially join the EU. The US would never allow such an interference with its manifest destiny. But we can make a close partnership even closer.

Whatever you guys wanna do. I support canada being eu but if yall dont want it trade agreements is also good.

They don't need to join it as a full member to have trade and economic benefits. Simple (!) alignment with standards and regulations will allow free access to the market and free movement of people.
