Canadians think Canada should join the EU: poll https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/economics/2026/04/06/canada-in-the-european-union-poll-suggests-broad-openness-to-the-idea/

@dyckron I think Canada needs to grow up and become an independent country. And especially not get involved in other people's wars.
FTR many Canadians, including of course FN people, are not of European ascent.

@dyckron As a European I say: Yes please!!!!!!

@dyckron

Just to drive Trump mad about it.

@chris @dyckron it's not such a crazy idea if you put Greenland in the middle (which should probably join too).

[lopta@mastodon.social]

@dyckron Perhaps the E should stand for Earth?

@dyckron
Donegal in Ireland is maybe closer to Newfoundland than to Greece.

Check a globe. Canada isn't as far away as it looks. Greenland used to be in the EU and Iceland might join.
Vikings probably visited.

@dyckron it's a weird idea, but i'm not sure it's a BAD idea

@terryaki @dyckron Why?

@Veza85UE @dyckron Well,.sure, Canada isn't in Europe. But I personally wouldn't mind that, as far as I'm concerned Canada would be welcome to join.

[veza85ue@eupolicy.social]

@terryaki @dyckron The EU is a community of laws. We're bound by a legal order. Who can and cannot join is spelled out clearly in our Treaties. tldr: only "European states" can join. But that's not what's interesting to me. I'm fascinated why EU citizens would *want* that. What is it about our Union that's so casually sure, come on in for countries on other continents (tho not for others on our own--in general, not about you).
