Why not? I would vote yes to allow Canada into the EU.

How about the US just becomes provinces 14-64? I'll gladly take anything else.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 hours ago

You want more convoys? Ingesting the US will give you nothing but cancer. If it's not a city or a suburb, you're just absorbing indoctrinated fascism. It's pervasive.

Nah sorry we're not taking the red states. They can be their own Christofascist hell elsewhere.

Can I raise you the proposal of Canada and Jesusland

this looks like a dragon head with cat / dragon torso and cat legs

Alaska needs to be integrated though, don't want another Kaliningrad.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

So just all of new england, the pacific northwest and California.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

California already goes to Denmark though

[–] europeanfan122@lemm.ee 5 points 9 hours ago

Wouldn’t mind it one bit

[–] PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Türkiye is gonna be pissed.

At a minimum any states bordering Canada, including those bordering the 4 Great Lakes shared with Canada, should get a vote of which country to go with.

Pennsylvania is 100% included, and honestly if Indiana and Illinois go for it despite being on the “wrong” Great Lake, I’m not going to complain.

You can give us Buffalo any day. I love that city so much.

[–] androidul@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 hours ago

The EU 🇪🇺 is more than welcome to include Canada 🇨🇦 as the 28th member state 🤝

I mean we did kinda get our asses kicked in 1812 after we started a war the president would later say we were unprepared for.

Might be some geographical issues (perhaps of the ocean variety) with this proposal

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 20 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Well, Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean. Canada is just a slightly bigger island, slightly further away...

[–] el_eh_chase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

There is French territory just off the coast of Newfoundland too (see Saint Pierre and Miquelon), also Denmark is right next door because of Greenland. So while still pretty far fetched, there is some precedent for European territory in North America.

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago

Canada shares a land border with Greenland on Hans Island.

Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean.

The Celtic Sea is not an ocean.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

By that logic then Vancouver Island isn't an island because the Juan de Fuca is a strait not an ocean

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

They didn't say Ireland wasn't an island because of it... But, for the record, Canada isn't an island anyway so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I wasn't awake when I wrote that but I still think they meant to imply it doesn't make it an island. Poor reader here I guess.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 9 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

Maybe canada can be the first member of a post-European EU. I guess we'll need a new name.

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 3 points 9 hours ago

Cyprus is already the first non-European EU member.

Sounds like a football club that has no one to play against.
