I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges.

When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

We have a pro-EU PM now, it's time to start contemplating the next step. Together, with our friends in Europe we can become an Arctic / Resource superpower.

It's not like it's a waiting list. There are requirements to be met and each country is at a different point in being "ready". If all those countries were fully ready, they could be admitted tomorrow. Iceland has to have a referendum. Turkey has suspended their application etc.

Won't happen. The US is going to have problems of their own creation to deal with soon. They'll be too busy putting out internal fires to do anything in Greenland or Canada.

Not too substantial. There will be some but I was talking to a Brussels lawyer about it who said that Canada was as close to ready as any applicant since the EU originally formed. We would need to get rid of inter-provincial barriers and modify a few regulations, but nothing too massive.

Actually joining would take years of talks between Canada, the EU, the provinces & territories, indigenous groups and industry and then after all the talking was done, a referendum where I think we'd need a 60%? yes vote. I'd just like for them to start discussions & see what it would look like.

Great idea.

Canada and Europe share more vision and ideas about governing a country than Canada does with the USA.

And geopolitical it would make a very powerful coalition that wouldn't require many resources from outside.

No, I understand that. I just don't think there are any real conflicts between the EU and the Commonwealth (which is 90% social club in 2025).

If Canada applies, it won't be a fast process. Just inside Canada there are a massive number of stakeholders to consult - provinces, territories, Indigenous groups and a variety of industries and interest groups. That's why I'm only asking for them to start having the conversation. It would be long.

I suspect that this number would be higher if you asked the question again today.

44 per cent of Canadians would support Canada becoming a member of the European Union. Could it?

As far as I know there is nothing about being in the Commonwealth that would prevent us from joining the EU or even be an obstacle to it.

We adjoin Denmark with Han’s Island so we are literally sharing a border with a EU Country why not go full out! I’d bet the EU would love our oil and gas instead of Russian energy!

There would be no issue, Canada is also a member of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie which includes France in its membership. The Commonwealth is just a different cooperative group with or without the UK.
