      Land border with Denmark, check. Aquatic border with France, check.

      Based on these facts, Canada is no less European than Germany and should therefore join ASAP.

      I rest my case your honor.

    Let’s get those ports at Halifax, Montreal, and Saint John busy!

    Europe should buy Canada’s maple syrup and minerals!

      Turkey is way closer. Morocco is way far from meeting requirements. Absolutist Monarchy (parliamentary democracy in name only), way off in economic make-up…

      I wouldn’t be against this idea. They could become suppliers if solar energy, maybe even data centres. Seems like a win/win to me. Power cable to Gibraltar and north? Seems even doable to me.

        Southern Europe (Spain, Portugal, Italy, Southern France, Greece…) can provide all needed solar, wind, hydro, tide, and other renewable power to all EU. Actually tide is better in atlantic coasts. Why lay humongous cables (power is not data) across an ocean?

        Canada can contribute many other things.

        They applied for membership back in 1987, but were quickly rejected due to not being European.
