    To join the European Union the country must be located in Europe. I don’t think Canada will fill up this criteria.

      It’s totally a technicality but we share a land border with Denmark via Greenland. It’s literally just a rock cut in half in the middle of the Arctic but it counts! (Hans Island)

        You’ve just identified that Canada needs Greenland to not separate from Denmark, XOR we’ve lost our opportunity!

      Apparently it’s super easy to change the maps. If the Gulf of Mexico can be renamed, we can rename the top half of North America to West Europe.

      Move around some tectonic plates and they’ll be here in no time. (Canadians, you might want to get under a sturdy table for this one.)
