Were going to need some sort of opt out to the internal market or this would hurt us more than a trade war with the US.
European countries dont need this because they naturally trade with eachother because of this thing some like to call “geography” but Canada does not, and thats not going to change from joining the EU.
Unlike the UK who just wanted to make their own trade deals Canada actually needs to. The EU values the sanctity of the single market more than the value the UK added to it, so they would pretty much have to create an entirely new member section just for us.
Still the freedom of movement, potential upgrades to our democracy, involvement in a rising world power, and potentially a mutual defence pact would be nice. Not too sure about the Euro, if it would hurt or help us.
As an added bonus, maybe when Quebec sees all these European countries that have English named products in their stores they will stop trying to rename Kraft Dinner. (Im Canadian and I live in Germany, half of things are in English and no one cares)
Then it would cease to be German.
