The idea of Canada joining the EU has got renewed attention after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened the country with high tariffs
Is this something that can happen? Like, realistically?
If you’ve been paying attention over the last 2 weeks, literally anything can happen at any time. We live in the age of miracles and horrors.
Have you read the article?
TL;DR: I wouldn’t bet on it
A conservative US owned newspaper may have some bias.
I see you haven’t read the article either, because otherwise you’d know that it doesn’t even answer the question directly, but instead goes to great lengths theorizing about every possible outcome, no matter how unlikely it is.
The TL;DR was my own opinion, but if you actually make it through this piece, I’m fairly sure you’ll agree.
Things like that seem to take years. Meanwhile in any sane world you’d expect US to return to sanity in four years
That already happened four years ago. Since then there has been an insurrection, women has lost rights and a former President was convicted of fraud and was indicted for many more crimes. The American people voted that criminal into power despite knowing all of that. The US got a taste of sanity and decided they didn’t like that and chose batshit insanity.
To join the European Union the country must be located in Europe. I don’t think Canada will fill up this criteria.
French Guyana would like a word! Maybe we should just join an already existing European country.
Declare war on, say, France, immediately surrender and become a part of the EU.
Saint Pierre and Miquelon is part of the EU and 19km off the coast of Canada.
Apparently it’s super easy to change the maps. If the Gulf of Mexico can be renamed, we can rename the top half of North America to West Europe.
It’s totally a technicality but we share a land border with Denmark via Greenland. It’s literally just a rock cut in half in the middle of the Arctic but it counts! (Hans Island)
Move around some tectonic plates and they’ll be here in no time. (Canadians, you might want to get under a sturdy table for this one.)
