Why not? I would vote yes to allow Canada into the EU.

Washington, Oregon, and California as Canada’s 12th province. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and the northern 20% of Illinois and Indiana as the 13th.
I only hear Americans pitching this idea. Canada doesn't want any of the states haha
The sane ones of us who live in those states are desperate. Soory
I'm Canadian, I don't hate the idea.
In any case, it's clear that the USA is less "United" these days.... It's more just ... The States of America now.
There's like a lot of shitty people even in those states. I love Washington but no thanks.
Wouldn’t need to stick exactly to the current state boundaries. Trim off the eastern parts of some of those states on the west coast. And get enough territory to fully encircle the Great Lakes, extended enough to include Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, all of Michigan, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and parts of upstate New York.
Idk. I haven't met enough people from any of these states to have an opinion.
Well just look at how many of them voted for trump. People in canada would have never voted for that.
Which is all part of the EU. Sign me up
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
Is Canada having issues with sovereign autonomy? Why even sit at the table?
Jesus Christ, yes please!
Why are non-European countries even allowed to participate?
All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.
Brazil, Peru, Japan, India, and even China and the US could participate too.
Russia and Lybia used to be part of the EBU but they were suspended. They know what they did.

Eurovision is organised by the European Broadcasting Union, which includes basically all countries in the European Broadcasting Area (basically Europe + all of the Mediterranean). Those include Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Armenia, etc. They have always been allowed to participate. Australia is an outlier. They just got a special invitation.

As a European, I think it would be pretty funny if, after Brexit, the other parts of the former Empire joined the EU.
But at least right now, membership is probably more of a meme - some solid cooperation and shared institutions would be amazing, though.
EU already said this can't work. It said in the rules only European countries can join the EU. But something can be worked out, no doubt.
~~European~~ Worldwide Union
Globalists but for real this time.

New update just dropped
One hell of a trading block and the EU GDP would leave the MAGA fucks in their dust trail.

Well, we do share a land border with Denmark. Sooooo…. we’re practically European already!
Well, if Canada can take part in the Eurovision song contest, they might as well join the EU.

Let's just rename the EU to "United Earth" like in Star Trek, since Australia is practically in it already on account of being in Eurovision.
That way we don't need to change the initials, just swap them.
I mean we did kinda get our asses kicked in 1812 after we started a war the president would later say we were unprepared for.
How about the US just becomes provinces 14-64? I'll gladly take anything else.

I'm not sure why I keep seeing this posted, like it's some sort of gotcha. It doesn't mean our other elections would have to change, just the brand new representatives to the EU.
The vote for liberal leadership used Preferential Voting where you could indicate more than one preference.
