I think you give too much credit to the morons who voted for economic suicide. They didn't vote to have deals with Australia, they all thought we were so big and important that the EU would bend over backwards to give us a favourable trade deal even though every single expert on the subject disagreed. The Australia and Canada deals came up only after we shot ourselves in the head.
I didnt give any credit to the morons voting for economic suicide. But i pitty them for all they fell for.
Charles de gaule said it best "britain will see the european community only as replacrment to its dying empire and wont ever dedicate itself to it"

^(Mnemotechnic : one L for may 1968 and one L for french Algeria /s)
He's the one who gave up the idea of French Algeria, but ok I guess.
His messaging wasn't exactly super clear in the beginning, which caused a few issues that we are still taught about in history class to this day though.
Still have respect for the man for resisting the Nazis and staying true to his word on many very significant occasions (like resigning after losing the referendum in 68) and having seen clearly through the USA's intentions, hence the /s.
This is stupid.
No, Canada will not become Europe. Yes, there will be more trade deals.
United earth? Lol
The year is 2098, Earth has finally found peace and united under one flag, except for England, who is sticking to its Brexit plans.
A Super Earth, if you will.
A united federation of planets, if you will.
Non-hysterical Countries Union?
I'm up for it just to trigger and over power Trump's permanent term
Truthfully, it's likely a case of either they partner with the EU or realize Trump's 51st state remark isn't bravodo.
Real Americans support this.
That would be so cool
Some kind of North Atlantic Trade Organization?
Or how about my favourite game title from the 90s that I never played: Federation of Free Traders
The br*tish would be so mad hahaha
That should be more than enough reason to do it.
Realistically though, if it did happen, it would make it much easier for the UK to get back into the EU.
Can you elaborate?
Nothing like how it would make it easier legally or something. I just think that Canada shares close cultural, historic and monarchy ties with the UK, and has a very good relationship with them. I think already Canadians would be tapping up Brits to better understand how the EU works and how to get things done. And, if the UK really wanted to get back in, Canada would support that and try to make it happen.
Culturally, the UK is already more similar in values to the EU than Canada is. If they're willing to accept Canada as a member, there really wouldn't be a reason not to take the UK back.

Ok, but besides the bylaws, treaties, & other whathaveyous, afaik Canada has systems (trades, standards) way close to USA than to continental European countries. From the integration pov this would be a giant task. And if Canada would gain significant power (which it would) a lot more of "USA" things & ways of life would leak to "euEU".
It's a very complex hypothetical question that can hardly be judged via sentiment tracking at "this stage" (which isn't even a stage).
Nevertheless positive responses are very nice, yay friends!
"yay natural resources!" -The other side
Yes, but also Canada in Eurovision.
Only if they kick Israel out first
What chance do the Europeans have against Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Shaniah Twain, and Ted Cruz?
Are you forgetting Canada's greatest export, Barenaked Ladies?
