We’re done with the US but we’re also not joining the EU, although we have great allies there.
You mean you are done with the US and you are not joining the EU and not all Canadians feel this way.
A national survey conducted by Abacus Data in late February 2025, involving 1,500 Canadian adults, revealed:
JFC. You want some people in Brussels deciding stuff for us in Canada?? Fuck no.
I am 100% for close ties with the EU, trade and defense and travel and even work. But in terms of letting randos in Brussels decide on how we should run things for us??? No way.
Paroting brexit campagne without knowing it
Except we were never part of the EU to begin with.
That's weirdly definitive considering most Canadians would support the idea, if it were definitely possible.
I support close ties with the EU but I don’t want Canada to join the EU. The EU has said it’s never going to happen either. A country in North America joining another continent?? Is silly. Having randos in Brussels make decisions for Canada?? No thank you.
When? I keep hearing this but I'm pretty sure no such statement has been made.
A little, yes.
So, any level of integration is going to involve that. IIRC Even now we have to respect EU heritage foods designations as part of CETA.
Multiple times. And if you read the EU charter, membership is only open to countries in Europe. The charter would have to be changed.
Clearly you haven't read the whole thing either, because it's not. Cyprus is fully in Asia.
(And I actually read parts of it just earlier today, FWIW)
I also dont want canada in the EU, but randos in brussels? Yes we need more democratication of the EU but you still elect the members of the parliament
