Avoid Paywall

In the Abacus poll, 46 per cent of respondents said they would support Canada becoming a member state of the EU, and 44 per cent said the Canadian government should definitely or probably look into joining it.

If Canada joins EU that would make it the union less a European union, not saying I would mind that but we're gonna need a better name. Maybe invite Australia & New Zealand as well. Need to be quick though, before UK snatches them up.

Hear me out, wild plan: why not free the russians & add that as well.

canada should replace israel in the european broadcasting union instead

100%. We should persuade Canada to join Eurovision. They have some great artists and both English and French are easier to get votes with lol.

Would be funny to drag in all of the commonwealth except the UK

[โ€“] huppakee@feddit.nl 1 points 3 days ago

Well they wanted to leave, and maybe the rest of the commonwealth and the EU want something different.

Sure, but so is the cultist nation of Israel for some stupid reason.

[โ€“] huppakee@feddit.nl 2 points 3 days ago

It's stupid now but isreal wasn't always like this

Which supports my point of rebranding the EU as the "Union of settled and colonizer states".

The no-homer union

Should be rebranded the "Union of settled and colonizer states", you could add Israel too!

Yikes, i'd rather have north-korea join us then the current isreal state. But when Netanyahu is in jail and Palestinians and Israeli can see eye to eye again it would culturally fit in the union of western nation states. But probably US wants to join and it becomes a group of countries trying to take over the world and we already had enough of that in Europe.
