Should Canada join the EU?

Shared values, strong institutions, and a deep commitment to democracy make the idea less far-fetched than it sounds.

Besides, who wouldn’t welcome a country that brings both stability and maple syrup to the table?

I think that would be lovely.

I have a cunning plan. First step: Canada changes its name to "Hungary."

Second step: We make the switch...

Right now, I doubt anyone would voluntarily call themselves Hungary. That name comes with... baggage. Hungary is basically Putin’s doormat — maybe it’s time they exited the EU.

Wasn't Morocco told that you have to be in Europe to join the European Union?

schoenbergvienna.bsky.social•4 hours ago

That was then. In times of global crisis, the EU might need to rethink some of its old rules—especially when it comes to strong, stable partners like Canada.

Not sure Canada would accept freedom of movement but a free trade deal could be on the cards

Yes! You're welcome to join us.

And my adult son could live in same country as his mum and stepdad! (I know, not quite an international priority but...😆)

That sounds like a perfectly valid geopolitical motivation to me. Families first, then trade agreements!

Why not? Maybe New York State can secede to Canada.

schoenbergvienna.bsky.social•4 hours ago

New York State might start browsing real estate listings in Ontario. Sometimes, shared values matter more than shared borders.

Excellent idea.

Canada would never accept billions in debt and millions of refugees.
Guess what prevents CETA (the "Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement" with Canada)?!

Some European countries do not want to waive tariffs on agricultural products to protect their farmers.
🤷‍♂️

schoenbergvienna.bsky.social•4 hours ago

You're absolutely right. CETA has faced resistance in the EU, mainly due to concerns about protecting local farmers. It’s a tough balance between trade and domestic interests.

Unlike the US, however, Canada has comparable food standards to the EU, which of course makes its steaks a million units of estrogen less "beautiful".
