      Ehhhh, maybe when y’all get a bit more left wing than “Adjacent Left of the USA”.

      The last election Canada also almost elected it’s own Trump, and Carney is still pretty right wing too - I’d say more than Italy’s Meloni, who herself is pretty right wing.

      We just got an improved Hungary back after all.

      Plus dealing with the constant “chat control” clones in the EU parliament would only get harder with Canada joining.

      I’d like Canada to join eventually, but hopefully next election you’ll have better governments than Carney and Ford. And Alberta will be more stable. That too.

      In the meantime, it gives us a chance to improve in the EU a bit more too and keep fighting off the wave of fascism and corporatism as well, hopefully.

      I don’t get how we aren’t. We share a land border with Denmark and we’re closer to France than the Netherlands are.

        technically, we’re closer to France than we are to any other EU contry besides Denmark… there’s a little island just off of Newfoundland that’s still French.

        Imagine being able to live and work anywhere in the EU, and them here. It would be like finally joining the world.
