My personal dream is that we'd join the EU since a lot of our agriculture shit would be in high demand and they're more politically stable than being attached to the US at the hip but, honestly, any additional economic diversity is welcome. America might elect Trump and it that fucker puts up a 20% tariff a large portion of our economy would be fucked overnight.

I'd fucking love to join the EU.
Canada borders Denmark and France so there is a good argument for it. Canada could double the size of the EU.
Sorry to be a debbie downer here. I'd really love for that to be the case as well.
Alas, there's precedent for getting rejected for not being European enough: https://notesonliberty.com/2016/04/05/when-europe-rejected-morocco/
As Canada is on a continent even further from the continent of Europe than Morocco was, it's sadly very easy to see a rejection on those grounds alone.
And being next to Greenland doesn't help, as Greenland isn't part of the EU, https://www.thedanishparliament.dk/en/eu-information-centre/greenland-and-the-faroe-islands
Likewise, there's a source here that says that Saint Pierre and Miquelon is also not part of the EU, https://www.ieom.fr/IMG/pdf/l_outre-mer_francais_et_l_euro_-_bdf_bm_186_etu_7_version_anglaise.pdf
...we have Montreal?
I love Montreal!
Come visit, we have bagels!
Fine then, we'll start our own EU with beavers and blow!
I can not find a reference now but I thought back in the day (almost a decade ago now) one of the goals of the Trans-Pacific Partnership would have been to lead to a union or confederation between it's members, akin to how the European Steel and Coal Community eventually became the European Union.
We can ask to join Schengen though, like Iceland.
Ah, that's brilliant! The dream is back on.
CAUKUS just rolls of the tongue
Now they need to get The Netherlands or some other N country to join.

I totally approve of this. Asia is pretty unstable right now with China always “threatening”. I think defense spending in this area sends the right message.
