Alas, NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization - the A doesn't mean American. That's why Canada and the UK are members but Australia and New Zealand aren't.
Likewise, EU membership requires being a European country. There is precedent for this, as Morocco was denied when it applied to join for that very reason: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-07-21-mn-5339-story.html / https://archive.is/hlOdB
Still, maybe Canada will luck out and that Europe thing will turn out to not actually be a requirement for joining Schengen or to join the EFTA. One can dream.
Haha that shows what I remember from HS history. My bad. Not to sound too contrarian but rules are bent and broken all the time.
