Europe is at a point where it needs to finalize the European continent expansion (accept all the western Balkans for geographical integrity). After that it needs to go for federation. Common army, common border controls, common foreign policy, centralization of services like stock markets, IT systems, etc. Nurturing of local cloud providers, and other critical services.
Only when that is done Europe might have the case to look for further expansion.
The reason for the articles like the one above is that malicious third parties are trying to sway EU’s attention away from further integration, by offering dreams like Canada in the EU.
Huh? Can someone make me understand what’s this about?
No, don’t want to open our borders for their failed immigration policies. They can keep their millions of Indians.
I don’t know if we have enough Frontex to protect the border between the Greater European Empire and the US.
They would need to send back all the indians and pakis before joininig in.
What about the view from Canada?
The EU should only have members with geographic borders between them, or islands very close by. Borders far away with volatile neighbours are always a huge liability, as we can see with Ukraine and Russia. Hell, even closer, Kaliningrad and Belarus are bad enough too. We don’t need Canada across an ocean and having that huge border with the US
This Canuck would be happy with it! Would save me having to go through German bureaucracy to get dual citizenship.
Oh no thanks.
Canada would bring half a continent of resources that the EU desperately needs. Strategically it makes sense for Europe and is expansion through shared values rather than force or coercion.
But it won’t happen. Some EU countries don’t like Indians and feel Canada would be a back door entry for Indians into the EU. Commenters with that opinion are pretty open about their racial views on this sub too.
While I am in favour of much closer ties with Canada and other middle powers, I do not think EU membership is the solution to this. Rather, I would like to see a new G20 or OECD kind of confederation (as in intergouvernmental) between all middle powers ideologically aligned, excluding the US but including Japan, SK etc.
Stop. no they should not join. It is called eu for a reason. We should not be in a political union with random contries around the world. Canada and eu can still work together without being in a union
