Here's what would happen if Canada joined the European Union
-
Apparently it's super easy to change the maps. If the Gulf of Mexico can be renamed, we can rename the top half of North America to West Europe.

I see you haven’t read the article either, because otherwise you’d know that it doesn’t even answer the question directly, but instead goes to great lengths theorizing about every possible outcome, no matter how unlikely it is.
The TL;DR was my own opinion, but if you actually make it through this piece, I’m fairly sure you’ll agree.
-
People float the idea of Australia joining the EU every so often too, but much the same we'd be a second class country basically handing money over to Germany and France for the sake of it.
-
Eh, continents are entirely a socially-constructed category. I mean, how can Mexican America and South America be one continent when there's no land route between them, yet Europe and Asia can be two continents? The Americas are on different techtonic plates, which similarly is enough to earn India the designation of subcontinent. And where's the cut-off between big island and continent? Bigger than Greenland, and smaller than Australia is all we can say.
Anyway, what I'm saying is that with just a quick redefinition of the continents, which already don't make sense, Canada can be in Europe.
-
Doesn't matter. The requirement is to be "a European country", not "a country in Europe". What "European" really means has been left deliberately ambiguous.
-
Yeah, that's absolutely not how this works.
-
Canada and mexico should form a union that's called Super America. And america isn't part of it.

Aviation, Shipping, Telecom, there's loads of regulations in the EU..
it isn't the existence of regulations in the EU that annoys me, as standards, when done right, massively-reduce the "tax" of needless-waste, & needless-harm, ..
.. rather, it is the standards being decided by things other than globally-elegant effectiveness & globally-elegant efficiency.
Politics has NO proper place in government, yet humankind has handed the world to be outright-RULED by the coalition between political-machiavellianism-of-parties & moneyarchy, using their friend legalism for leverage against Justice ( the fight between legalism & moral-law is millenia-old ), & now physical-force/bullets has sided with the extremists of all sides, to "help" the world resolve to their victory, too..
Sooo many dimensions of this stuff going-on, now..
Anti-strategy, all of that.
No matter: The Great Filter should finish doing its thing by the end of this century, & if anybody is left alive, then they will have grown-up, completely, as a population.
if, though..
.. sigh ..

Anybody who believes that Trump will tolerate any 2028-election to toss him out from power .. is foolish.
Sorry, but it's true.
The 2024-election was the FINAL chance the Dems had, & the fluffed themselves in their Hopium, & when it failed, they make-believe that they're somehow going to be "allowed" to take the country back, later??
Idiocy.
It's too late.
Construct survival in the actual remaining-context, & then US Civil War Part2 ( which should begin around 2028, -/+ 1y ) will be more-survivable.
Remain within Hopium, & .. getting butchered in the coming tsunami-of-violence in North America becomes starkly more-likely.
I'd prefer people be realists, & survive..
Kaizen,

There is precedent (Cyprus, as well as Turkey previously wanting to join).
-
Yes, English, Spanish, and whatever the Quebec speak.
-
France anscmany EU counties have territory all around the globe. So technically EU is everywhere .
-
rather, the male-supremacists & the passive-white-supremacists voted against Harris, handing the victory to Trump.
The Dems living-in-Hopium, Biden hanging-on-too-long, gutting Harris's opportunity, etc, didn't help any, but the root on-the-ground-truth, is that no boomers, nor any machos, were voting for any nonwhite woman president, & that swung the votes FAR harder than the left-press was willing to believe.
G-D itself sees, its law ( what a Soul/Continuum sows, that-specific-Soul/Continuum reaps, no matter what, still is Universal LAW, though, so .. this world chose to "blow its brains out" through its anti-accountability/anti-responsibility addiction, & that is going to be playing-out through the rest of this century, until it's all done ) sees/enforces objectively, so no-matter-what-believers-pretend, objectivity's getting enforced.
Objectivity is the single "religion" that all ideologies/prejudices/"religions" prohibit from being valid.
Who's bigger: Universe or collective-human-ignorance??
Natural Selection's going to display the truth..
Universe moves-on, & if we won't grow-up, then we haven't any place left in Universe.
Show me ANY faction who holds that truth to be their center?
Just as a herd of herdbeasts who stampede off a cliff don't get Universe's "undoing" that, so they can have a special extra-chance .. we don't either.
Countless worlds, strewn through coundless universes-of-this-kind, in an endless-stream..
Our narcissism is the root-problem: "God revolves around us: God is going to glorify us, God exempted us ( only this-faction! ) from having to grow-up! We only have to be making-believing!"
is humankind's most-normal answer.
Ever tried arguing with a junkie who's nearly-dead, about saving their life instead of taking more "junk"?
Humankind's behaving like that junkie..
Sometimes you just have to let-go, witness, & move-on..

You've just identified that Canada needs Greenland to not separate from Denmark, XOR we've lost our opportunity!
: p
-
Right, but neither Cyprus, Turkey or Canada have territory in Europe.
-
What do you mean? We have a land border with Denmark.
If that's not good enough, maybe Sweden would be willing to part with one of their 267,570 islands. Or at least half of one... if we took the inside half, then Sweden wouldn't have to worry about losing any of the EEZ.
-
Canada is the number 9 economy in the world and Mexico is number 15. This would be a significant body. They could add in Cuba and REALLY piss off the US.
-
Neither is Greenland.

I think you may have internalized some of the "male-supremacist" rhetoric yourself.
In your wall of text you're showing a tendency to blame everything on Harris, while you seemingly consider Trump the default choice. Why is that? Why did Harris have to earn your vote while Trump didn't?
