Laut Umfrage befürworten Europäer den EU-Beitritt Kanadas. Die Chancen auf eine Mitgliedschaft stehen jedoch sehr schlecht. Die Unterstützung ist in Deutschland am stärksten, wo 55 Prozent sagen, dass sie den Beitritt Kanadas zur EU unterstützen würden

Canada should be governed by Canadians, not politicians across the ocean.
It’s very obvious with how many articles there are on this hypothetical, the media is laying the groundwork to manufacture consent for joining the EU.
I really don’t understand why this is a thing. We’re not on the same continent for starters, how would we compete to sell them stuff if we adopt their currency and add in shipping costs for literally everything? Closer trade ties, hell yeah, but actually joining the EU isn’t realistic at all imo.
Can TFC at least play at the conference league?
Imagine forcing quebec to put english word stop on stop sign, like in Europe. Like in france
>However, at the NATO summit in the Netherlands last June, Carney said that he is “looking for a closer partnership” with the European Union, but he does not intend for Canada to join the EU. “That’s not the intent. That’s not the pathway we’re on,” he said.
Someone is trying to manufacture this join EU narrative but I haven’t seen any actual indication by the Canadian government (or people) that they want to. They don’t.
It’s hilarious that the same people that are so anti-American in Canada are the same people that want to be an EU colony and water down our sovereignty even more than the US ever has.
I respect the EU but Canada is Canada. We’re not apart of Europe. We’re not the U.S. or anywhere else, and that’s okay. What makes us so great is that we’re us.
No thanks. We don’t need this.
I’m all for things like better trade deals or perhaps even some form of a work visa, but we’re not even *in* Europe. Doesn’t make much sense to join. The article even includes that Carney *“does not intend for Canada to join the EU.“* lol
there is absolutely no point to being in the EU, especially if you give a shit about an independent Canada.
The same people who yearn for another layer of governance (across the Atlantic taboot) are the same who vehemently call for unity when posed with western separation.
Why is it that people here are quick to support surrendering Canada’s sovereignty to a foreign power so long as that power is not the United States of America? That’s literally the last thing that Canadians need, regardless of who the proposed overlords are.
55% ain’t that high to be honest, especially as the highest percentage country.
Yes, let’s slap on a new huge layer of government, pay the EU billions in transfer payments for less productive countries with nothing in return, and get a measly number of seats in the parliament with little to no influence.
Yeah, no thanks.
There can be closer collaboration between Canada and the EU without this.
The time and effort it would take to set this up would be better spent on trade deals and military collaboration.
What is this propaganda. Bullshit.
Are they going to ask us or naw
The EU still hasn’t fully ratified CETA, an agreement we signed in 2016! And it was only a year ago that the Europeans effectively capitulated to Trump at a time when Canada was trying to build a united front against the tariff BS.
Europe has simply never had Canada’s best interests at heart, it’s bizarre that some are pushing this idea so heavily.
If you thought our immigration policies are bad right now…….
No no no no no no.
We do not need a foreign unelected body dictating our lives.
Partner with the EU, do not join them.
Nah that’d be terrible we don’t want that
Fuck that, I’d rather walk the field of land mines that is the relationship with the USA than the hanging by piano wire that joining the EU will be. Canada is and always will be a mainly a resource extraction economy. We do that badly already. It would be astronomically worse with the EU.
Everything would get worse and cost more. The most idiotic of ideas.
We are not joining the EU .
Stop the nonsense
Why would we do this? This should absolutely not happen.
Doesn’t really make sense for us. We would be a net contributor to EU budget to subsidize poorer European countries, there will be more people coming from EU than the other way around and there will be no way to regulate that flow. The whole European project has a very uncertain future with slow growth, bad demographics, slew of candidates that the EU is not ready or willing to absorb and a prospect of a continental war on the horizon.
Imagine all the Europeans who suddenly want working and living in Canada without Visa …
