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

          Declare war on, say, France, immediately surrender and become a part of the EU.

        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!

        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.)

      Things like that seem to take years. Meanwhile in any sane world you’d expect US to return to sanity in four years

        Anybody who believes that Trump will tolerate any 2028-election to toss him out from power … is foolish.

        Sorry, but it’s true.

        The 2024-election was the FINAL chance the Dems had, & the fluffed themselves in their Hopium, & when it failed, they make-believe that they’re somehow going to be “allowed” to take the country back, later??

        Idiocy.

        It’s too late.

        Construct survival in the actual remaining-context, & then US Civil War Part2 ( which should begin around 2028, -/+ 1y ) will be more-survivable.

        Remain within Hopium, & … getting butchered in the coming tsunami-of-violence in North America becomes starkly more-likely.

        I’d prefer people be realists, & survive…


        Kaizen,
