Perhaps a line comprised of the northernmost US states could form a separate country as a buffer zone.

"The Union of Somewhat Less Barbaric States of Northern America" or something

I mean, arguably, conditions permitting, you don't necessarily need to be an actual, full fledged member of anything to participate. But in any case, yes, please do, we need new blood.

Eurovision is organized by the european broadcasting union, not the european union.

Send Faouzia please. She's badass.

I know everyone in the Eurovision fandom keeps telling me that Morocco should participate again and have her as the representative, but nah, I think Canada is the better choice (I am Moroccan).

Was about to say that: Sea border wise you are closer to France than the British are.

(Fun fact: Do you know which country has the longest land border to France? .....it's Brazil)

If I'm not mistaken, per article 49 of the Treaty on European Union, it can't.

Any European State which respects the values referred to in Article 2 and is committed to promoting them may apply to become a member of the Union. The European Parliament and national Parliaments shall be notified of this application. The applicant State shall address its application to the Council, which shall act unanimously after consulting the Commission and after receiving the consent of the European Parliament, which shall act by a majority of its component members. The conditions of eligibility agreed upon by the European Council shall be taken into account.

The conditions of admission and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the Union is founded, which such admission entails, shall be the subject of an agreement between the Member States and the applicant State. This agreement shall be submitted for ratification by all the contracting States in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements.

For example, Morocco tried applying, but was rejected because it wasn't considered an "European State". So, from my point of view, either EU amends the article to allow non-European countries to join (maybe on the basis of cultural similarities? anyways, I don't think it's even feasible), or an special agreement/set of agreements to integrate it in the EU without actually making it part of the EU.

Most EU countries have visa-free entry into Canada IIRC. I know you have to submit an eta but those are cheap and quickly approved

Or better yet, visit Canada and every other EU country with just one visa, instead of several dozen for each. Yeah, not every EU country is part of Schengen, and there are non-EU countries that are, but I always thought this is cool.

My country does require a visa for EU entry despite being literally 14km away from one of its members, separated only by the Strait of Gibraltar, so I'm not really that lucky. But I least I wouldn't have to go through the tedious visa application process all over again.

Canadian Dominion btw, it's not like they got the letters of "Canada" jumbled up their official name is just weird.

Am American, would love Canada to go to EU standards and have America suffer of follow suit.

Well washing the natural protection layers off from eggs and then having to cool them is pretty stupid, so it's obvious who should adjust their standards

Products would need to be adjusted

O no what a nightmare

For the regulations, I think slowly changing them to fit to EU standards, so industries can catch up, would be the best.

As for exports towards the US, aren't there already institutions (like the Trade and Technology Council) used by US and EU for trade to be efficient despite regulation and standard diferences?

Of course, I don't much about anything, so I'm mostly throwing stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

Ukrainian regulations were/ are all aligned with Russian ones, take a guess how the future looks like for that arrangement.

It would face some form of growing pains definitely, but I think it would be far better in the long run. Especially if trump tries to shut down trade between US and Canada
