What is kinda wild to me is that I have read about a dozen articles like this and not one of them actually indicates what benefit Canada would get from joining the EU, apart from ‘we all know that America sucks’, but being in the EU doesn’t actually solve that either.

Do you just fundamentally not understand what the EU is, or are you looking for some specific details?

Cool, so I can use my rail pass to go from Berlin to Ottawa?

You can’t be this silly.

You get free, unrestricted access to the largest trade market (in terms of GDP per capita), not to mention access to billions upon billions of euros in grants.

You think those grants are free money? Countries pay into the EU’s budget for them.
