    I neither want to become part of the USA nor part of the EU, although between the two, the EU is obviously preferable.

    I think there are unnecessary complications with joining the EU and maybe we should just focus on joining the shengen zone more similar to iceland and norway to make it happen quicker

    Edit: I’m stoned right now but I’m just trying to imagine how we would retrofit every single car with EU regulated headlights for example haha. And those ugly ass long rectangle license plates. Canada has the coolest license plates in the world

      Per your edit: Does joining the EU require retroactive compliance? Or is it just “follow these standards going forward”?

    I said this the first time Trump was elected

    It’s too dangerous to be in the wild while the US is focused on imperialism.

    The EU is more similar to Canadian attitudes than the US is, though we are halfway in between.

    I like the idea I do but I think the CANZUK is more likely the four countries share so much more than we do with the EU. Only problem I have with it is we would still have the royal family on our coins.

    Oh god please join the EU, so I can go through the trouble of claiming ancestral citizenship in Europe and be able to live in Canada instead.
