I donโ€™t think that will work. We canโ€™t have centralized decisions being made for Canada in Brussels and through consensus with a bunch of countries who we donโ€™t even share a continent with. That being said, we exist because of mother France and father Britain (who unceremoniously left the family). So we will ALWAYS be aligned with Europe.

As a Swede I feel kind of the the same, but regarding joining the Euro. But what are our options? Sure the Krona could survive another 100 years but the full access to the inner market seems pretty rad. But yeah we need to have a serious talk about democracy with Hungary and a talk about sustainable finances with some countries.
