Canada

I would love to join the EU, my grandpa immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands after WW2 but Netherlands doesn't offer citizenship to grandchildren ):

Would be nice to have the freedom of travel to the EU and vice versa if anyone wants to come over and visit Canada.

Canadian here, everybody I know would love this

And Canada does have a land border with an EU country - Denmark. Canada and Denmark had a long standing border dispute over Hans island featuring multiple armed raids. It was resolved in a mature and sensible fashion to just divide the island. Good for all involved.

As a Canadian... we didn't know this was an option. But hell yeah, we'd join the EU.

This Canadian would be happy to join.

I think the EU is waiting to see if we get PP or not since we're on the brink of stupidity like the US was. If we elect a PM interested in being a civilized member of the global stage, I think we'll be invited in.

I would be happy if we at least could ratify CETA finally. Sheesh

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.

hungary will block it probably

At the very least, Canada should be allowed to participate in the Eurovision song contest!

It would be terrible for our country, just look at the impact the mere thought of tarrifs has had on our economy. A full renegotiation of the US Canada trade border would be chaos.

Europeans are cool and I wish we had your public transit, but EU membership of a NA country will never happen.

This is not accurate, there a lot of different peoples fighting in the war but conflict within Ukraine is fought under Ukrainian and Russian flags only. North Koreans are deployed in Kursk region of the Russian Federation.

Edit: Korean under NK flag, they have military engineers deployed in donas region in support role but i think they are actually under RF flag

But technically Russia already popped the cherry on this, I will agree... if NK can deploy into Russia for combat operations why would not an EU state do the same?

nUclEaR wAr🤡

I think for the longest time the worry was that it would potentially be a NATO conflict. With Trump throwing everything out and them threatening to pull the US out of NATO I do sort of hope that gives Europe a reason to fight.
