Half-joking comments about Canada joining the bloc have become common as Ottawa adapts to its fraying relationship with the United States.
France’s foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot has floated the idea that Canada could one day join the European Union, using the transatlantic ally as a striking example of the bloc’s global appeal.
Speaking at the Europe 2026 conference in Berlin alongside his German counterpart Johann Wadephul, Barrot argued that the EU is increasingly attracting partners far beyond its borders as geopolitical tensions soar.
Barrot’s Canada remark was not presented as a concrete policy proposal, but rather as part of a broader argument that the EU is emerging as a “third superpower” capable of balancing the rivalry between the United States and China.
Correlation =/= causation
In general yes. Here the common denominator is that canadians are british and french colonists who never kicked their invaders.
Also the EU is corrupted as shit. And trust me, I know about it first hand, i work for them. I know your western propaganda makes you think we’re friend because we’re the goodies and they’re the baddies. I can imagine the reader, shaking in hate as his worldview shatters. Still, give me one reason why canada would enter the european union before, say, turkey or bielorussia.
Because they’re civilized, aka white.
They are the invaders. Just like the US. The difference is they didn’t decide to go independent.
Any examples of the corruption you’ve seen first hand?
Also the fact von der leyen is immune from belgian police search in her multiple corruption affairs.
Nepotism. My mum got a job by dating an eurocrat.
