How about the US just becomes provinces 14-64? I’ll gladly take anything else.
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
Indeed, I like that map.
So just all of new england, the pacific northwest and California.
California already goes to Denmark though
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.
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.
The EU 🇪🇺 is more than welcome to include Canada 🇨🇦 as the 28th member state 🤝
Türkiye is gonna be pissed.
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.
Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean.
The Celtic Sea is not an ocean.
By that logic then Vancouver Island isn’t an island because the Juan de Fuca is a strait not an ocean
They didn’t say Ireland wasn’t an island because of it… But, for the record, Canada isn’t an island anyway so…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯I wasn’t awake when I wrote that but I still think they meant to imply it doesn’t make it an island. Poor reader here I guess.
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.
Earth United!
Sounds like a football club that has no one to play against.
White supremacist imperialist conglomerate (non-US version)?
Once again, we are forced to raise the lingering question: Are Italians White?
Earthed Union the EU.
New update just dropped
Ya know, when you put it that way
Tap for spoiler
Pun intended. Get rocked.
That doesn’t look as absurd as it might seem at first!
especially once the north pole melts
I don’t see Erdogan being very happy about this map tho
Erdogan doesn’t care about Turkish EU membership.
Can we Philadelphians join?
👀
No, you guys know what you’ve done
Any reasons why these two neighborhoods go against the grain? Are they the posh suburbs?
As someone from a South Jersey suburb of Philly: take me with you!
Why are non-European countries even allowed to participate?
Because Australia were mega fans, so they invited us :3
All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.
Brazil, Peru, Japan, India, and even China and the US could participate too.
Russia and Lybia used to be part of the EBU but they were suspended. They know what they did.
All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.
Theoretically yes, but associated members (in contrast to full members) still need to be approved on a case by case basis.
Active members (as opposed to associate members) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are eligible to participate; […]. Associate member broadcasters may be eligible to compete, dependent on approval by the contest’s reference group.[49]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest#Participation
Eurovision is organised by the European Broadcasting Union, which includes basically all countries in the European Broadcasting Area (basically Europe + all of the Mediterranean). Those include Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Armenia, etc. They have always been allowed to participate. Australia is an outlier. They just got a special invitation.
Are we going to be called anti-Semitic?
Aren’t we anyways? Who cares at this point. Nazi, antisemitic… Russophobe. I’ve been all of these lol. I’ve even been called a homophobe even tho I am literally gay.
This is genius!
Can’t we just harvest the states that want to leave?
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.
EU already said this can’t work. It said in the rules only European countries can join the EU. But something can be worked out, no doubt.
Membership of the European Economic Area - same as Norway - for example.
Comes with being part of the EU Internal Market, Freedom Of Movement (both ways, of course) and exceptions in a couple of areas (such as fishing rights not being decided by the EU, which I suspect is something that Canada would rather have) but without voting power within the EU.
EuropeanWorldwide UnionGlobalists but for real this time.
You have to be “substantially European”, which includes Cyprus, which is fully in Asia and half Turkish. Also, Greenland and to a degree Iceland aren’t geographically European.
Neither Greenland nor Iceland are in the EU.
No, but French Guiana is, and it’s in South America.
kind of
Ah shit, you’re right about Iceland. I thought it was for some reason.
Greenland like usual has no data (because WTF is it really? Independent? A territory?). Denmark definitely is, though, and Greenlanders presently get the full benefits of that.
Canada becomes a France province, easy.
Or France becomes a Canadian one and switch to English as the primary official language. It would solve a ton of issues and I’m sure the French would be okay with it.
It’s been ok so far in Canada.
Wait…
Where did they get all those torches and pitchforks so fast?
I’m super jealous because I’ve wanted to have Canadian citizenship since back in my late teens / early adulthood when I realized that there was already a version of America that actually lived up to American ideals and which offered same-sex marriage as well as universal healthcare. That weed and apparently codeine are legal there make it so much more bittersweet.
The only people I’ve known personally to get citizenship are those who married a Canadian citizen. Which sucks for me because I’m already happily partnered and there’s no way I’d give that up for anything, not even Canadian citizenship, awesome and appealing as it is.
Legal marriage and having a life partner are not the same thing. I’ll marry you and my partner will marry your partner, no big deal.
Maybe if/when the US invades, if we fight for Canada they’ll give us citizenship.
FWIW I obviously don’t have the power to approve that but I would certainly vote to make that a thing!
I had an American friend who married a Canadian. It took SO much work to get her permanent resident card, like a lawyer and everything.
Unfortunately, Canada has MAID, and also likes to deny healthcare to natives in the hopes that they will just die.
Fortunately, Canada has MAID. Unfortunately, Canada has MAID in place of meaningful care.
Shocking. Do you have a source for that?
Thank you so much for linking that! I really appreciate it. Usually a lot of people get mad when I ask for a source. I just wanna learn!
Well, we do share a land border with Denmark. Sooooo…. we’re practically European already!
And France (Saint Pierre) I think? Thanks CBC Gem!
Saint Pierre and Miquelon, right by Newfoundland. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon
That’s a sea border, but the idea is the same.
In fact, the distance between the shores of Newfoundland and St. Pierre and Miquelon is shorter than the width of the English Channel at the Straits of Dover (25km vs 34km).
We share a land border on the recently divided Hans Island.oops misread the threadingDon’t get me wrong I’m all for it but by this logic we can also include South America (French Guyana), central America (Caribbeans) all Pacific Islands (French Polynesia), Africa (too many to list), Indian subcontinent (la reunion) and Oceania (nouvelle Caledonie).
I look forward to Hawaii joining the EU :D
Guys guys guys, let’s be good friends with the EU, let’s even adopt some of their best policies, but honestly, they also have some baggage we don’t need.
Worth it.
Believe me, we don’t want Orban either…
I just want to be sovereign. How is that so hard for people to understand?
EU members are all sovereign, brexiter.
I’m Canadian.
Ya both those prospects seem “Colonial”
