Canada has a land border with the EU

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

And a maritime border too. I really don't know why or how the Netherlands come into the picture.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

It's always a land border if you go far enough underwater.

It'd be great to have Canada in the EU but they'd need to secure the southern border. Build a wall and make the us pay for it.

[–] aggelalex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

They already did. It's called tariffs

Why Dutch? The easiest would be clearly to declare Canada a province of Greenland and have it thus become a part of Denmark 😎

Canada and the Netherlands have very close ties.

During WWII Canada sheltered the Dutch royal family and declared the hospital where princess Margriet was born to be Dutch soil. We could just expand that to the rest of country to be part of the Netherlands

A province of Greenland is a good one, also Saint Pierre and Miquelon are French islands just off the coast of Newfoundland

And the dutch would finally gain the land they desperately need

Ah ja, levensruimte!

I mean... So much space for activities!

Canada can into nordic?

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I wish Australia would join the EU. The US is an unreliable ally.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Take us with you... Sincerely, NZ

[–] raker@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It goes without saying that this would be mandatory: No koalas, without kiwis!

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Hell, it's a reliable enemy.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

United States of Canada has a nice ring to it I think

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You've heard of USA and USB, now prepare for USC

[–] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

and there's already a USD!

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 13 points 1 month ago

The Dutch are “enjoying” an ultra-right wing government that is openly supporting Diaper Donnie. Please, do not involve them.

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

As a Canadian I approve, if it were to happen.

[–] kryptonidas@lemmings.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Since Israel can join Eurovision festival I see no reason why Canada can’t join the European Union.

Ah, that’s what I had first, but then I was like, that doesn’t sound like music 😄

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

It's the vision of Europe in song form or some bullshit haha

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Maybe the Dutch can finally teach the Canadians how build a proper city.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago
[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

At least join the broadcasting union so the UK can have another country to lose to in Eurovision.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Maybe not the EU but we could at least have Schengen.
