Canada should totally call Trump's bluff. The GOP would lose their everloving shit at the prospect of another state the size and political leanings of California involved in US federal elections.

It would be amazing if Canada made a bunch of demands that would be seen as unreasonable. Like, demand that every Canadian province and territory be split in two, and each be admitted as it's own state. That would add 26 new states! There's no way the US would go for that. I'm American, I hate this administration and I have been to Canada many times. Anything that Canada can do to mess with these morons in office would be welcome.
Is Canada having issues with sovereign autonomy? Why even sit at the table?
I'd be happy if we could just join the EEA. I want to be able to work in the EU.
I think it is not that hard for you if you are a Canadian citizen. The language is the real problem.
It is as difficult for us as it is for an American. It's not very common to be able to get a work permit without an employer sponsoring you and most EU employers have enough selection in Europe they don't need people from North America.
I speak French (fluent), Spanish (good but not well enough for a formal workplace), and enough Danish to make myself understood
Don't all member states have to vote us in? Can't see that happening.
