Where Data Tells the Story

In January, 2025 The Economist ran a headline stating: Why Canada Should Join the EU.
“Europe needs space and resources, Canada needs people. Let’s deal,” said The Economist.
It is an opinion piece looking at the pros and cons of a thought experiment.
But in the wake of Trump Administration tariffs and “Canada as the 51st state” rhetoric, commenters of both sides of the Atlantic are saying Canada should form closer ties with the EU.
The benefits are obvious: Canada and the EU have similar social welfare systems, approaches to governance, and tradable resources.
Is Canada-EU a pipe dream? Or a new era of geopolitical alliances?
