Do it! I certainly won't complain about the potential added bonus of becoming an EU citizen.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
It would be fucking funny for Canada to join the EU, adopt the Euro and get into Schengen before the UK.
Easy now, let's not get ahead of the first step of EU entry:
Eurovision.
well then even funnier if it were australia - literally as far away as possible - now that weβve been tariffed too!
Canada wins first Eurovision with Celine Dion doing a dance remix of "O Canada".
Doesnβt she have lock jaw?
Stiff-person-syndrome
There is a recent documentary on Prime about her in which they talk about this a lot. Itβs very sad.
This is Celine Dion we're talking about, her talent transcends
So she DOES have lock jaw?
Oh I have no idea
CBC is already an Associate Partner of Eurovision, they are technically able to compete.
This would be great and hilarious.
Kinda like how Putin wanted less NATO influence and then Finland and Sweden joined after the Ukraine war.
FAFO.
Camera pans to UK.
Cue Curb Your Enthusiasm theme.
Australia is really missing the boat here. Too busy trying to be a small target instead of getting ahead of the game. Weβre already part of Eurovision FFS
Would be nice to get a member with a working economy for a change :D
Better hurry up then before trumpcession causes it real damage
That would be cool. And I am not an EU country citizen, but from a country that has some chance to become one eventually.
This would be nice, but it's not going to help Canada that much in the stupid trade war that Trump just started for the same reason the U.K. was never going to make up for trade lost with the E.U. by forging new trade agreements with the U.S.
Do it!!!
