Would Canada be interested in joining the EU? Might make sense considering what a bad neighbor the US has become.

It would be terrible for our country, just look at the impact the mere thought of tarrifs has had on our economy. A full renegotiation of the US Canada trade border would be chaos.

Europeans are cool and I wish we had your public transit, but EU membership of a NA country will never happen.

You're getting downvoted. But I agree with you.

Canada can accomplish most of its goals regarding diversifying its trade away from the U.S. without having to go to full EU status.

But I sure wouldn't mind having some of those lovely French nukes sitting on our southern border right now. If full EU membership is what it takes for that to happen, so be it.

But that is precisely what Trump is demanding now. Even though he tore up NAFTA and renegotiated the deal in his first presidency (I am sure I remember him saying it was the greatest trade deal ever signed and the greatest win for ~~Trump~~America).
