Most Americans have your back too...it's just our messed up voting and education systems that let the lunatic fringe gain all the power. For a representative democracy, it really doesn't represent the people.

Sure we will help you refound the FLQ
From the UK and personally, 100% yes but not sure I feel the rest of the population would agree. I mean, a lot of us turned our backs on the EU and there's a lot of cross over with US right wing nutters.
However, I would believe that when push comes to shove, we would be generally willing to defend Canada, Australia and NZ over anyone else, and then European countries at the next level. The reaction in support for Ukraine was pretty universal here and there are still lots of donations and support that is not shared with any African, Asian or Central/South American countries having similar problems.
Basically, you're white so yes you can count on us!

Hey, Canada! Have you considered EU membership?
I would honestly be stoked
That would actually be hilarious
And not even impossible. The EU council and commission can basically freely decide if a state counts as "European".
I think the biggest hurdle might be that Canada would immediately be the 5th most powerful member state because of their population.
As the EU mostly does not decide population based but with equal votes per country that wouldn't be an issue.
The larger issue is the fact that the European and US regulations clash in a lot of things so it would be harder for Canadian companies to export to the US then.
But otherwise: We would absolutely welcome you.

i was wondering around Berlin once upon a time. in the park behind the parliament.
a slightly overly helpful german said "excuse me. are you lost?" i mumbled "no no, not really"
they walked beside me for a bit and said "ah you are english. i will take you to the parliament it's just over there". and i agreed
then they said "your boys died for my country" which really took my breath away
so yeah we got your back cananadia. that's what we do when the fundamentalists kick off. even if we have to die
Uk here, for sure.
Yeah sure but the government wants to access your encrypted data first by installing a back end into your iCloud data.
Fuck trump. Canadians are our friends and family.
Fuck trump. Canadians are our friends and family.
As an American, I agree with this message 100%.
Hey EU, we'll upvote your countries if you upvote Canada. Interested in equal trade?
You wanna meet up in the laneway and rip a couple clappers at the garage door while smokin' darts, well count me in.
