Absolutely, agreed. The issue here is that Canada may not qualify, as we're North American rather than European. (While it's true that we're right next to Greenland and the French territory of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, neither territory is part of the EU but rather both are considers "overseas" territories of EU members, so being next to them doesn't help extend the definition of "European".)

Also see https://www.europarl.europa.eu/enlargement/briefings/23a2_en.htm - Morocco is just below Spain and Portugal as you can see on this map, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco#/media/File:Morocco_(orthographic_projection,_WS_claimed).svg - but it was rejected membership in the European Communities. Sadly, based on geographical criteria alone, the case for Canada being "European" is much weaker than Morocco or Turkey.

Back in the day, I had high hopes that the CPTPP would evolve into something similar to the EU with its own version of Schengen.
