All for this.

Why not? I would vote yes to allow Canada into the EU.
I'd be happy if we could just join the EEA. I want to be able to work in the EU.
I think it is not that hard for you if you are a Canadian citizen. The language is the real problem.
Washington, Oregon, and California as Canada’s 12th province. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and the northern 20% of Illinois and Indiana as the 13th.
I only hear Americans pitching this idea. Canada doesn't want any of the states haha
The sane ones of us who live in those states are desperate. Soory
I'm Canadian, I don't hate the idea.
In any case, it's clear that the USA is less "United" these days.... It's more just ... The States of America now.
There's like a lot of shitty people even in those states. I love Washington but no thanks.
Wouldn’t need to stick exactly to the current state boundaries. Trim off the eastern parts of some of those states on the west coast. And get enough territory to fully encircle the Great Lakes, extended enough to include Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, all of Michigan, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and parts of upstate New York.
Idk. I haven't met enough people from any of these states to have an opinion.
Well just look at how many of them voted for trump. People in canada would have never voted for that.
Which is all part of the EU. Sign me up
How about the US just becomes provinces 14-64? I'll gladly take anything else.
You want more convoys? Ingesting the US will give you nothing but cancer. If it's not a city or a suburb, you're just absorbing indoctrinated fascism. It's pervasive.
Yea, I'll take the top 20.
Mexico can take the bottom 30
Nah sorry we're not taking the red states. They can be their own Christofascist hell elsewhere.
Can I raise you the proposal of Canada and Jesusland
this looks like a dragon head with cat / dragon torso and cat legs

I mean we did kinda get our asses kicked in 1812 after we started a war the president would later say we were unprepared for.
The EU 🇪🇺 is more than welcome to include Canada 🇨🇦 as the 28th member state 🤝
Is Canada having issues with sovereign autonomy? Why even sit at the table?
As a European, I think it would be pretty funny if, after Brexit, the other parts of the former Empire joined the EU.
But at least right now, membership is probably more of a meme - some solid cooperation and shared institutions would be amazing, though.

Türkiye is gonna be pissed.
Türkiye needs to get rid of its Erdoğan problem then.
Wouldn’t mind it one bit
At a minimum any states bordering Canada, including those bordering the 4 Great Lakes shared with Canada, should get a vote of which country to go with.
Pennsylvania is 100% included, and honestly if Indiana and Illinois go for it despite being on the “wrong” Great Lake, I’m not going to complain.
You can give us Buffalo any day. I love that city so much.
Well, we do share a land border with Denmark. Sooooo…. we’re practically European already!

Might be some geographical issues (perhaps of the ocean variety) with this proposal
Well, Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean. Canada is just a slightly bigger island, slightly further away...
There is French territory just off the coast of Newfoundland too (see Saint Pierre and Miquelon), also Denmark is right next door because of Greenland. So while still pretty far fetched, there is some precedent for European territory in North America.
Canada shares a land border with Greenland on Hans Island.

new caledonia and french guiana are laughing it up from the southern hemisphere
Maybe canada can be the first member of a post-European EU. I guess we'll need a new name.
Cyprus is already the first non-European EU member.

Well, if Canada can take part in the Eurovision song contest, they might as well join the EU.

Let's just rename the EU to "United Earth" like in Star Trek, since Australia is practically in it already on account of being in Eurovision.
That way we don't need to change the initials, just swap them.
