As much as I like Canada compared to the US, they are not European by any stretch of the imagination. I'd be for free trade and free movement as a beginning, but part of the European Union is a bit much.

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?
What’s the internet regulation like in Canada
What’s Canada’s stance on green and renewables
Is Canada pro-regulation?
We are a nation of ~40 million people, speaking two official languages, spread out amongst 10 provinces and 3 territories, encompassing the 2nd largest land area behind russia. We have 4 'recognized' parties (Conservatives, Liberals, New Democrats, and Bloc Quebecois) and the Greens are an up and coming party that have members in the House. We are too diverse to say 'we are all pro anything (except maybe Hockey)'. That said, we are a Social Democracy so regulate far more than the US despite (perhaps in spite of) their economic influence.
Something you didn't ask about but I think you'd likely be interested in is our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

That thing that originated in Europe? Or the American version that isn’t us?
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.
Yep, exactly.

It's not possible by current legislation aswell. You need to be on the European continent to join the EU.

No, technically you just need to be "European", which is never strictly defined anywhere. It was being considered that Algeria join after all, but it didn't happen because of the civil war (from my understanding of the situation). Canada is one of the most European-like non Europe countries, so it would kinda fit.

Why change? Canada is a perfectly good name.
I didn't even realise this comment was a joke and was confused at OPs question, until I realized they were thinking about the EU.

We could name it the UE. United Earth.
Super Earth. Our home.

Nah we just need a fancy team name for the not-absolute-fuck-head countries.
I mean EU is Europe and I fucking love you guys but down here in Australia we can't just up and move the continent to Europe.
I don't think the name should be dependent on membership like BRICS or whatever because you don't want to have to rebrand when you kick someone out or let someone in.
I think it should include a word like collaborative because honestly, that's what it's about - we're better off working together.
It's also important to choose a name with a catchy acronym that isn't already taken.
Maybe Collaborative Union of Nice Terran States.

I like "Commonwealth".
But I re-read your comment and the initialism is a solid option.

Yeah but commonwealth has connotations that don't apply.

This is English, anything can be a word, it just has to be used enough, and understood aswell. I think it's perfectly cromulent.
