    It was pushed around a decade ago along with CANZUK as an anti-American movement

      An effort not being new doesn’t mean there has been a significant effort. Besides, if you’re insinuating another reason for the “low” percentage, just say it

      How? This was literally just resolving territorial disputes. The fact that it was with a member of the EU (Denmark) is just coincidence.

        That’s just a political effort, outside of parliament there was a significant push by the people for it to the point that we had CANZUK as the conservative counter offer to it

        Not to say there’s anything wrong with CANZUK, both would be ideal

        Survey bias or EU support has gone down

        This was literally just resolving territorial disputes.

        Because we had high EU support at the time and it didn’t seem like something we would go out of our way to do if it wasn’t for that so it was something Canadians thought was signalling that our politicians were finally listening to us
