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.

@dyckron eh, maybe in some ways. The EU so far has been a strong force of economic neoliberalism, making sure that US dominated capital can move around Europe and get back to the US smoothly, keeping the members from protectionism, adjusting their spending or currency for locally-owned economic growth. It's a US colonial project.

But a lot of the rest is decent. Maybe Canada can be a part if it's reformed, like it seems destined to.
