    Canada would definitely be safer being closer to Europe but how are you going to move all your stuff?

    The EU and Canada share a land border. This is just natural.

    (The EU and Brazil too, but one step at a time)

      We also share a maritime border with France. May the universe bless Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

    How is this surprising, exactly? Canadian asking any surprised Europeans.

      Being part of the eu means subjecting to new laws as EU law beats national. This would mean stopping some bullshit that happens in Canada as well as accepting that you don’t get to have full national sovereignty anymore. Whilst I think being part of th eu is absolutely worth it i would’ve guessed that it more contentious

        Try dealing with Agent Orange and his hourly tantrums. I’ll take regularly paced orderly legislation changes that we have an overall say in.

    Not sure about full membership at this point, but having our Canadian friends join in the EFTA / EEA would be great!

    those numbers are outdated, I’m sure I saw lower in an article this weekend, like 24% in favor of the US

      I’m quite surprised about the high percentage, considering that it’s not a given that Canadians would be equal in terms of citizenship (voting for example) if annexed by USA

      California has the upcoming ballot initiative to become independent in November 2028. Mark your calender.

    I would first like to see Canada treat First Nations with some dignity and respect first. Just because they’re marginally better than USA doesn’t mean they’re not awful.
