Avoid Paywall

In the Abacus poll, 46 per cent of respondents said they would support Canada becoming a member state of the EU, and 44 per cent said the Canadian government should definitely or probably look into joining it.

Canadian here. It sounds like a nice idea, but honestly the vast majority of Canadians do not understand how the EU works at all, or what benefits/donwnsides there are to joining.

This also ignores whether the EU wants us to join at all. I also do not see our government doing this any time soon, maybe if things continue like this for another 10 years or if the US drops out of NATO.
