    The EU is not a geographical union despite it’s name. Even then, Canada and Europe share a common border; the Atlantic Ocean. Also it’s part of the Commonwealth, Has a strong economy, social politics, The Greco-Roman and Judaeo-Christian tradition. And they speak the two most common European languages. Canada makes more sense than Türkiye if you disregard distance.

      • sea border with France.
