Might be some geographical issues (perhaps of the ocean variety) with this proposal

Maybe canada can be the first member of a post-European EU. I guess we'll need a new name.

Guys guys guys, let's be good friends with the EU, let's even adopt some of their best policies, but honestly, they also have some baggage we don't need.

I just want to be sovereign. How is that so hard for people to understand?

Yes please, I will vote to support this.

I'm super jealous because I've wanted to have Canadian citizenship since back in my late teens / early adulthood when I realized that there was already a version of America that actually lived up to American ideals and which offered same-sex marriage as well as universal healthcare. That weed and apparently codeine are legal there make it so much more bittersweet.

The only people I've known personally to get citizenship are those who married a Canadian citizen. Which sucks for me because I'm already happily partnered and there's no way I'd give that up for anything, not even Canadian citizenship, awesome and appealing as it is.

Maybe if/when the US invades, if we fight for Canada they'll give us citizenship.

Can’t we just harvest the states that want to leave?

The EU 🇪🇺 is more than welcome to include Canada 🇨🇦 as the 28th member state 🤝

When "the big one™" hits, can California join either of y'all?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Absolutely but only if you drop the Maga people off in Utah on the way out.

I (from yrp) would absolutely love this <3

At a minimum any states bordering Canada, including those bordering the 4 Great Lakes shared with Canada, should get a vote of which country to go with.

Pennsylvania is 100% included, and honestly if Indiana and Illinois go for it despite being on the “wrong” Great Lake, I’m not going to complain.

You can give us Buffalo any day. I love that city so much.

We have already rejected Morocco because of geographical reasons...

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

But Cyprus is already in. And really, how sure are we that was the real main reason?

Failing that, we'll just have to slum it with Norway and Switzerland.
