    Canada would definitely be safer being closer to Europe but how are you going to move all your stuff?

    The EU and Canada share a land border. This is just natural.

    (The EU and Brazil too, but one step at a time)

    Not sure about full membership at this point, but having our Canadian friends join in the EFTA / EEA would be great!

      Being part of the eu means subjecting to new laws as EU law beats national. This would mean stopping some bullshit that happens in Canada as well as accepting that you don’t get to have full national sovereignty anymore. Whilst I think being part of th eu is absolutely worth it i would’ve guessed that it more contentious

      I’m quite surprised about the high percentage, considering that it’s not a given that Canadians would be equal in terms of citizenship (voting for example) if annexed by USA

    I would first like to see Canada treat First Nations with some dignity and respect first. Just because they’re marginally better than USA doesn’t mean they’re not awful.
