Would Canada be interested in joining the EU? Might make sense considering what a bad neighbor the US has become.

I'm doubtful full membership will ever happen, and even an EEA Norway-style agreement where we adopt 75% of the EU's laws without representation but keep our fishing and agricultural policies (pre-requisites for the Atlantic and Prairie Provinces to agree), would take decades to be negotiated, signed and ratified with all the dysfunctional, proportional representational governments in Europe right now.

There's been discussions about "associate membership" in the EU to bypass the European-ness requirement, but I don't think that's gotten any traction.

I would be grateful for any kind of free movement agreement that gains traction right now, even with CARICOM or MERCOSUR.

Of course you're getting downvoted, this is the rational answer.
