    Gotta love it when people think words have some magical meaning that cannot change ever and hold everyone hostage

    "European union" has a meaning - it is a union of European countries. Not much room in that. It's little different case, than idiotic Eurovision, that has competitors from elsewhere.

    Also how would that work? How would you harmonize the regulations and laws between Canada and EU countries? I'm all for working together, but this idea is truly nonsense.

    I disagree. European Union is a union of countries, named as such because it was founded in Europe.

    The EU is both an economic and political entity. It has a single market with free movement of goods, services, capital, and people. It also has common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries, and regional development.

    How would this work with Canada?
