Cyprus is in Asia, and is a member of the EU and was allowed because it was “politically and culturally European”. It could be argued that Canada would qualify under those same circumstances.
We even have something that Cyprus doesn’t, and land border with an EU country (Denmark), and a sea border with an EU country (France).
And while we were independent of the UK from a governmental point of view, we were still a dominion of the UK until 1982, which means we even have historical precedence in the EU as an overseas territory, though never in an official way.
Article is too long…
It’d be a little weird as Canada is not in Europe but other than that it’d be a perfect fit. Much better fit than Turkey or even Hungary…
Could rename it to the Earth Union and keep the acronym
Euro-Arctic Union?
Earth United has a better ring to it.
Atlantic Union?
AU is taken, mate. But I reckon Australia would be bloody on board too.
Yeah but then we’d need to change the name again
Easy. Atlantic Sea Society!

Neither is the South American continent but part of it is in the EU too.
