    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.

      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.

      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.

                  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.

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

                                        EBU EU whats the difference?

                                        If Australia can be part of the Eurovision song contest so It can be of the EU. Also everybody already asume anyway that you are just Austria.

                                          Actually, the EU has a whole bouquet of options for countries that want to cooperate with it. It can be trade agreements, free trade area, currency union, Schengen Area and so on. Norway, Switzerland and Turkey are examples of different degrees of associated status.

                                          But be aware that any full EU membership would non-negotiable include the right of not only companies but also people to move freely in the common area - yes, that would mean that any EU citizen has the right to move to and live in Canada, and vice versa, as long as these persons can support themselves.
