Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson joked there may be a place for Canada in the European Union to join “like-minded” nations as “the most Nordic country in the world outside the Nordics.”
The EU is more than just FTAs and diplomatic pleasantries. For example, the TEN-T network now doesn’t make sense if we were to take in Canada, because how are we going to connect a continent that’s separated by an ocean? We can’t.
They can’t take any of our technical standards because they’d be using it alone on the entire north american continent. So essentially they’ll lock themselves off from the other nations.
Lastly, have you seen how the place looks? Many of the politicians are flat out against technological progress in renewable energies or against preparing for the consequences of climate change. Their entire country, much like the USA, is lacking a lot of public transport. Without a car, you’re dead there.
Lastly, we’d have thousands of kilometres of borders that are directly adjacent to an adversary. We don’t need another Russia in front of our doorstep. Let alone one that we need to fight on an isolated continent away from the mainland. Greenland is already exposed, but the only benefit here is that ships take at least a week to show up there, significantly complicating logistics. There is no option for an easy land invasion. With Canada there would be. And this isn’t hypothetical, as the orange cunt has stated multiple times it would annex Canada if given a chance.

IMO it would be bad for our Union.
