Canada in the European Union? Poll suggests broad openness to the idea

New polling suggests a majority of Canadians think Canada ought to explore joining the European Union at a fraught time for geopolitical relations.

@Veza85UE @dyckron Well,.sure, Canada isn't in Europe. But I personally wouldn't mind that, as far as I'm concerned Canada would be welcome to join.

@terryaki @dyckron The EU is a community of laws. We're bound by a legal order. Who can and cannot join is spelt out clearly in our 🇪🇺 Treaties. tldr: only "European states" can join. But that's not what's interesting to me. I'm fascinated why EU citizens would *want* that. What is it about our Union that's so casually sure, come on in for countries on other continents (tho not for others on our own--in general, not about you)?

@Veza85UE @dyckron I realise I need to think about this for a bit. I'm going to write an answer tomorrow :)

@terryaki @dyckron no problem, I love that the fediverse doesn't submit to the tyranny of immediacy.
