    This would be huge for both the EU and Canada. The EU would gain a major economy and a strong presence in the Americas, and Canada would gain all the benefits of the euro and EU membership. Both entities would be stronger for it, especially in a world where the US is an increasingly unreliable ally.

    Ah yes. The same logic that makes France a country in both North and South America, Africa, Oceania, and Antarctica (in addition to Europe obviously).
