I would support stronger ties to Canada, but Canada is not exactly in Europe
So are many parts of the Netherlands or France, for example
Local residents are not Europeans, they don't necessarily even use euro despite their mainland countries doing just that, but they are residents of the European Union.
That would be the craziest shit to be honest, but I sure welcome you all!
We need stronger ally relationships, considering things are going south with our Southern ally!
I don't think Canada needs the Euro or the Stability and Growth Pact straightjacket. We also don't need European xenophobic attitudes towards immigration.
Let's have a customs union, and let's have closer integration and cooperation, but let's keep our independence.

Yeah works for me.
Membership of the #EU is a long term project with many intermediate steps. Some decided they are fine with a certain step and stay on it(Norway) some decided to get off completley(Iceland) and some decided to get out after they were in(UK). Though I admit brexit was, unnecessarily, bitter the rift is healing and we enjoy good relations with all.
Tough I'd welcome Canada into the union I dont think either side fully grasp how deep and wideranging ascension would be. Regardless I'm perfectly fine with a customs union if thats what #Canada wants.
Why would this be surprising given the state of things?
Fuck yeeeah!
Canada is not part of Europe. The EU charter would require rewriting, and thats unlikely to happen.
Cmon Eddies!
It won't happen
not with that attitude
