Almonds, pistachios, pecans and cranberries are commonly imported from the US. In most European countries you can find alternatives.

What do you have against Canada being part of the EU?
In short, geography. The EU is more than just an economic union and is just growing tighter. Hence, were Canada an EU member would they need to fund projects that they would have limited benefit from and follow rules that do not make sense to them. Meanwhile the EU would more than double its external border, which would make smuggling even easier, and with limited benefits as the real hindrance to trade is the distance. The only solution would be to give Canada so many exceptions that they would barely even be members.
I'm fully for trade deals and cooperation on areas of common interest. But a full membership would not benefit either side.
It's interesting that you would deny membership to a self sufficient country with a great GDP per capita and shares a land border with the EU already because of that.
Well, if neither side would benefit from a membership so is there no point to it. And regarding land border, do you mean St Pierre and Miquelon (which almost have a land border) or Hans Island? If so so is neither really a part of the EU and have a small respectively no population, so are somewhat irrelevant.
Yeah I meant the land border that Canada and the EU shares on Hans Island.
Neither Greenland nor Hans Island are a part of the EU. The Kingdom of Denmark consists of three "constituent countries"; metropolitan Denmark, Faroe Islands, and Greenland; and out of them is only metropolitan Denmark part of the EU, while Greenland; which includes Hans Island; is not.
I get it, you hate Canadians.
