    Might be some geographical issues (perhaps of the ocean variety) with this proposal

      Well, Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean. Canada is just a slightly bigger island, slightly further away…

        There is French territory just off the coast of Newfoundland too (see Saint Pierre and Miquelon), also Denmark is right next door because of Greenland. So while still pretty far fetched, there is some precedent for European territory in North America.

          Canada shares a land border with Greenland on Hans Island.

        Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean.

        The Celtic Sea is not an ocean.

          By that logic then Vancouver Island isn’t an island because the Juan de Fuca is a strait not an ocean

            They didn’t say Ireland wasn’t an island because of it… But, for the record, Canada isn’t an island anyway so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              I wasn’t awake when I wrote that but I still think they meant to imply it doesn’t make it an island. Poor reader here I guess.

      Maybe canada can be the first member of a post-European EU. I guess we’ll need a new name.
