  • Canada joining the EU would create a strong identity crisis on our fragile and ever evolving European identity. Although I do like the idea of Canada having stronger relations with the EU (could go all the way up to joining Erasmus and customs union), I don’t think full EU membership would be desirable for both parties.

    I know there are some precedents, like French Guiana or those tiny islands off the coast of… Canada… but those are territories belonging to a EU member and that’s the reason for. The head of state of Canada is no longer in a EU state.








  • Supporters of these agreements highlight their value for the European Union’s strategic autonomy. They argue that the deals will help reduce risks not only in trade relations with China, but also with the United States. Less dependence – commercial and energy-related – means greater firmness vis-à-vis autocrats such as Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin. Yet this fact is often overlooked in Europe’s public debate.

    Indeed!
