It doesn’t really make sense for Canada to be a member of the EU simply because Canada isn’t in Europe. What we could do is grant Canada a deal similar to what Norway has now. We’re one of four members of EFTA, which are part of the EEA without being EU members.
I must admit that my knowledge of Canada is shallow at best but my impression is that its overall values align well with western European democracies.

Actually, the EU has a whole bouquet of options for countries that want to cooperate with it. It can be trade agreements, free trade area, currency union, Schengen Area and so on. Norway, Switzerland and Turkey are examples of different degrees of associated status.
But be aware that any full EU membership would non-negotiable include the right of not only companies but also people to move freely in the common area - yes, that would mean that any EU citizen has the right to move to and live in Canada, and vice versa, as long as these persons can support themselves.

It would mean replacing The CAD with the EUR, would be kinda funny to see EU flags on the border between the US and Canada though…
I want this if only just to see Vance complaining about EU expansion at their border.
No need for them to adopt the Euro though. Many EU countries are still on their original currency even now.
In fact, the following EU countries do not (yet) use the euro, but their own currency:
Bulgaria
Czech Republic
Hungary
Poland
Romania
Sweden
And California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii please 🙏🏼

I completely forgot that this guy was our foreign minister for over a year.
