Is it possible Canada could join the EU? I’d love it if all America’s former allies just formed a “cool club” and started isolating the US.

    IIRC this question was seriously asked by Carney a little while back, and we can in all but name. I don't think there will ever be a Canadian minister in the European Council but we could form trade networks that are basically the same as European nations with the caveat that there is the Atlantic ocean separating us.

    I think what OP may also be asking for are travel benefits. As it stands, EU citizens with an EU passport have extremely powerful benefits when travelling within + outside the EU.

    I just wish we had an inter-ocean train...

    I would love it, however we are an exporting economy so having the euro as our currency may hurt but also trade with the EU would be easier.

    The US is not going to be standing as it is by this time next year, maybe sooner.

    Adopting the Euro isn't required for being a member of the EU. UK used to be a member of the EU after all, and they never used the Euro.
