    As stated by Carney, this is not exactly true, but something like this has been expected. From a legal and sovereignty standpoint, EU membership of any kind does not make sense. A novel bloc of nations centered around military and economic cooperation that includes the EU and Canada however, does.

      It certainly does not make sense seeing as Canada is not in Europe.

        20 NATO members share no border with the Atlantic, and 5 are entirely landlocked.
