    Well, we’d have to redraw a bunch of maps, so at least it’d one up the dumb Gulf of Mexico distraction.

    This seems pretty silly. There are tons of intermediary states Canada could reach without the weird torturing of geography. As the linked piece acknowledges way at the bottom, incidentally.

      I don’t see this. Greenland is right next to it so it would just be a westward extension. Australia would be wierd but canada fits right in.

      Why would we? The european Union already has existing territory in Latein america, so a north American Country joining aint ruled Out.

      *technically, thanks to France, we already have a Union, where the sun never sets. If it we’re Not for the fact, that those other territories are Not recognized as being an integral territory by France , therefore Not being within EU jurisdiction. I guess, If a certain orange would try to coerce France into selling those territories, this opinion of france would change fast 😉

      Agreed.

      The idea of Vancouver being in the EU is crazy since it’s halfway around the world.

      Although there is French Polynesia and other overseas territories that are part of the EU so I guess it’s not that weird.
