From the limited stuff I know about Canada, please no. They only seem reasonable because they are only ever compared to usa.

It would mean replacing The CAD with the EUR, would be kinda funny to see EU flags on the border between the US and Canada though...

Well you could say it's a treaty of organisations all located by the North Atlantic... TONA? I dunno, it could never work!
ATON - Atlantic Treaty Organization of the North?

You can still decorate your Euros how you want, so we could keep our beavers and loons.

lol wut? This is the first anti-Canadian comment I've ever heard. Canadians are unreasonable? "I do not know much about them, but in my self-admittedly ignorant opinion I think they are an unreasonable people". Wouldn't that make us fit right in if everyone in EU was like you?
lmao. I'm going to be laughing about your comment for the rest of the day. Thank you.

If Canada joins EU, should we change its name? Any suggestions?
Northern Union? Atlantic Union?
Honestly keeping it the EU might be the easiest.

I wonder what you're thinking of. On just about every issue there's somewhere in Europe further right or further left. Since this is Lemmy you probably don't mean we like immigrants too much.

In fact, the following EU countries do not (yet) use the euro, but their own currency:
Bulgaria
Czech Republic
Hungary
Poland
Romania
SwedenAlso Denmark.
-
With the increasing far-right influence in the EU, Canada should steer well clear. Unless that's something they'd like to contribute to themselves.
The far right is currently collapsing here, and was never as prominent as in France or Germany in the first place.

The geese took that personal.
Don't worry, they physically can't get any angrier. The people mostly support the idea of joining.

SwedenIn theory they're legally obligated to switch, though. In practice Romania is being blocked by other EU members.
-
Also Denmark.
Denmark has a dispensation they arranged when forming the EU.
Sweden and the other countries does not.
When joining the EU you are commited to switching to the Euro when you have fullfilled the criteria for doing so, Sweden has decided to not fullfill the criterias required and will therefore keep the Krona for the forseeable future.

Should be something that works in most languages

Treatment of the indigenous people is the first thing that comes to mind. 5 eyes, black face, (re?)electing a crack smoker.
Just the 5 eyes thing is a deal breaker for me.

Treatment of the indigenous people
That's fair, and IMO should be the deal breaker.
5 eyes
We're a junior partner and net recipient. Our judiciary flat out prevents most of our participation, and we'd likely leave it to join,
black face
That thing that originated in Europe? Or the American version that isn't us?
(re?)electing a crack smoker.
He might have been re-elected as a Ward councillor, but regardless you're holding an entire nation responsible for 1 city's stupidity. A nation that for the most part considered them a laughing-stock.
Regardless, I'm not actually in favour of joining the EU directly but fully support bolstering our alliances.

They're probably talking about that time the former Canadian PM did something stupid and racist at a party decades ago while still a student. It wasn't good, but it's a weird thing to judge a whole country on.

Oh snap I completely forgot about that. Well, I'll hold the behaviour of our historical leaders up against the EU's any day. TBF they've had far longer to put stupid shit on record than we have ofc.

What's the internet regulation like in Canada? What's fiber penetration like? What about public transport? What's Canada's stance on green and renewables? How are votes counted? Is the Canada pro-regulation?
