French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot is openly mulling the idea of Canada seeking membership in the European Union.
Speaking at the Europe 2026 conference in Berlin today, Barrot said the European Union is attracting more candidate countries, such as Iceland, and suggested “maybe Canada at some point” will sign up.

Barrot smiled while mentioning Canada and his comments generated some laughter from a panel moderator and applause from the audience.
The idea of Canada joining the EU has been floated by some, such as Alberta politician Thomas Lukaszuk, while others reject the idea of adding Brussels to existing federal and provincial rules.
Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed the idea last June, saying he wants clearer and broader ties with the continent but not as a member of the EU.
Carney has visited EU countries many times over his first year in office to strengthen EU ties in trade and defence.
Ask us first,at least
Canada would first have to surrender to France, a country that surrenders to anyone and everyone.
Hard pass on joining that cesspool.
No thanks.Canada is enough of a disaster .We certainly do not need to hop on that bus of clowns
Not on your life!
To even float the idea is laughable…
If Canada joined the eu, that would be the worst thing for Canada.
Simply look at the world leaders, every time they make an address to their country, there are always two flags, the European union and their own countries flag, that’s a sign to show they aren’t their own anymore, the eu commission dictates to them on what they are doing with their country.
The Netherlands has a vote to join in with the defense spending in the eu, the Dutch people said no, and the eu commission said you are. That’s only one instance showing that they don’t care, look into the other votes countries have had within their own countries for what the eu commission is pushing, the people vote no but the eu commission doesn’t care.
The head of it, Ursula von de leyes is an evil woman, she is hardcore progressive and pushes her idealogy onto all the countries in the eu, hell, it’s a good thing britain left when they did but sadly, they got a bunch of bell ends in their government to still push the same idealogy, just like the Canadian government with the progressive liberals and the progressive democrats of usa, the list goes on.
No to eu, make a deal with America because that’s where Canada is
OMG…YES PLEASE!!!!!
DOOOOOOO IT!
Fuuuk EU. Canada is part of North America, not Europe. Besides, Europe is overrun by all sorts from 3rd world. All kinds of crime, a lot of rape by migrants. Canada needs to stay far away from that steaming pile of garbage.
No thanks, Alberta out!
No!
No!
No!
We are not Europe!
We are not European!
Hell NO !!!
The world is going crazy and Global is leading the way. Of course people laughed at the idea of Canada joining Europe.
“French foreign minister made a joke at the 2026 conference” Global took it seriously…
