Canada joining the EU would create a strong identity crisis on our fragile and ever evolving European identity. Although I do like the idea of Canada having stronger relations with the EU (could go all the way up to joining Erasmus and customs union), I don’t think full EU membership would be desirable for both parties.
I know there are some precedents, like French Guiana or those tiny islands off the coast of… Canada… but those are territories belonging to a EU member and that’s the reason for. The head of state of Canada is no longer in a EU state.

I rather like to think of it as “not yet again”
