Honestly do people think this we’ll happen cause Brussels has already said no.
Brussels can suck my balls we’ll wait 6 months and Strasbourg is in power ez bro
Back to supporting CANZUK then

Make Commonwealth Imperial Again!
I mean we did kinda get our asses kicked in 1812 after we started a war the president would later say we were unprepared for.
New update just dropped
Ya know, when you put it that way
Tap for spoiler
Pun intended. Get rocked.
I don’t see Erdogan being very happy about this map tho
That doesn’t look as absurd as it might seem at first!
especially once the north pole melts
Might be some geographical issues (perhaps of the ocean variety) with this proposal
new caledonia and french guiana are laughing it up from the southern hemisphere
Well, Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean. Canada is just a slightly bigger island, slightly further away…
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)_/¯
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.
Maybe canada can be the first member of a post-European EU. I guess we’ll need a new name.
Earthed Union the EU.
Earth United!
Sounds like a football club that has no one to play against.
Cyprus is already the first non-European EU member.
White supremacist imperialist conglomerate (non-US version)?
Once again, we are forced to raise the lingering question: Are Italians White?
Can’t we just harvest the states that want to leave?

Any reasons why these two neighborhoods go against the grain? Are they the posh suburbs?
No, you guys know what you’ve done
As someone from a South Jersey suburb of Philly: take me with you!
Yes please, I will vote to support this.
Don’t all member states have to vote us in? Can’t see that happening.
Especially with Hungary’s russian asset in command (yeah, we also have a Trump in Europe…)
Orban has to vote for Canada. Why? His regime will be over in 14 days if he does not get the EU money. Orban’s biggest rival is in first place according to the latest polls. If he wants to be re-elected, he cannot sabotage EU policy.
Another rich country paying membership fees. Why not? (Ignoring general bureaucratic problems)
As a Canadian, we promise to bring cake (and a shitload of natural resources) to the next meeting.
Fuck your cake. Fuck your natural resources. Fuck your bilungualism, affable manner, vast wildernesses and extensive waters. Keep them. We don’t want them.
WE JUST WANT THE POUTINE.
K.
Would you like extra gravy with that?
Let the GOP force them to become a state. They’d get 2 senate seats and more electoral college votes and congressional seats than any other state. Just in time for the Dems to run on deannexing Canada.

I’m a bad feeling they’d Puerto Rico us
Territories are still citizens, who can vote when they reside in states. If 2-3% of Canada immigrated, that’s 1 million people, which would shift the balance in a lot of places.
Of course, even if you shifted 10 seats in the Senate, the democrats would probably give republicans half the budget and let them write their own bills in the name of bipartisanship (again), and you’d quickly become as hopeless as the average american is in the democrats helping them.

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.
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!
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!
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.
Ya both those prospects seem “Colonial”
I just want to be sovereign. How is that so hard for people to understand?
EU members are all sovereign, brexiter.
I’m Canadian.
No, I understand that. I was making a rhetorical point. You’re making the same uninformed argument that was behind brexit.
Believe me, we don’t want Orban either…
Worth it.
When “the big one™” hits, can California join either of y’all?
Absolutely but only if you drop the Maga people off in Utah on the way out.
Pretty please yes! I would love to leave to US for the EU. But that hop across the water is very difficult for me to afford.
