    are part of their mother countries

    We could gift Canada a square metre of territory on mainland Europe. Then Canada declares it Canadian territory and as the main country; with today’s territory just being an exclave in North America.

    And boom! 💥 Canada is full EU member under currently applicable rules.

    !canada@lemmy.ca if you guys read this - you can happily have a square metre of my German garden if you can convince your people of my concept.

      Fun fact, Canada owns land at Vimy Ridge in northern France, given to them in perpetuity to honor Canadian soldiers fallen in WWI. Which means Canada has land borders with France and Denmark.

      Therefore, Canada is basically as European as Germany.

      I’m sure we have some tiny uninhabited islands no one cares about. :D

      EDIT: If I had some land, I’d make it all Canadian and then ask for dual citizenship in return. Couldn’t hurt to have another passport, I guess. xD
