Because we don't know the implications? Joining the EU would come with a bunch of commitments that most people who are saying yes right now don't even realize.
This is a knee-jerk reaction. It's not a small decision that we should make while on the rebound.
Lets start by making some really epic trade deals and go from there.
That's exactly the reason why the British voted to leave, which was a very very bad choice.
Norway is understandable they don't want to join. What the EU has, they have it better. The few benefits they would get are things they happily pay for with the Schengen deal as this is the cheaper option for them. But Canada isn't in the same luxury position as Norway, not even close, barily any country in the world is.
For every country in the EU it has been hugely beneficial, even for the richest countries (while they pay to support the poorer countries).
Anti EU politicians haven't been able to make true statements as to why the EU is bad. All their claims have been marked as fake news and blatent lies.
Nothing is all sunshine and rainbows, there are improvements to be made, as in any democratic society, but these issues are vastly outweighed by all the benifits.
Together we are strong. Our enemies seek to divide us, that should say enough. Let's stand together.
