Realistically though, if it did happen, it would make it much easier for the UK to get back into the EU.

Honestly i find it funny. Lets add australia and New Zeeland too! Britain leaves the union "to have trade deals with australia" then australia joins the EU. Would be the funniest shit ever
I think you give too much credit to the morons who voted for economic suicide. They didn't vote to have deals with Australia, they all thought we were so big and important that the EU would bend over backwards to give us a favourable trade deal even though every single expert on the subject disagreed. The Australia and Canada deals came up only after we shot ourselves in the head.
I didnt give any credit to the morons voting for economic suicide. But i pitty them for all they fell for.
Charles de gaule said it best "britain will see the european community only as replacrment to its dying empire and wont ever dedicate itself to it"

Oi!
We Aussies have been in Eurovision for over a decade.
We better be let in the EU before those other cunts!
Cheers
Oh please join Schengen as well!
I'd love to have you cunts in the EU!
The Victoria Bitter is cooling and the barbies are being lit for the welcome party.
Yes, but also Canada in Eurovision.
What chance do the Europeans have against Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Shaniah Twain, and Ted Cruz?
Celine Dion won it for Switzerland, if memory serves correctly
Only if they kick Israel out first
Ok, but besides the bylaws, treaties, & other whathaveyous, afaik Canada has systems (trades, standards) way close to USA than to continental European countries. From the integration pov this would be a giant task. And if Canada would gain significant power (which it would) a lot more of "USA" things & ways of life would leak to "euEU".
It's a very complex hypothetical question that can hardly be judged via sentiment tracking at "this stage" (which isn't even a stage).
Nevertheless positive responses are very nice, yay friends!

How hard is it to move a country to get it into the EU?
Assuming you don't have a couple hundred million years.
Well, we're already only 20km away from France, south of Newfoundland. And share a little land border with Greenland.

It makes sense because right now UE is running so smooothly. Everyone interests are aligned.

United earth? Lol
The year is 2098, Earth has finally found peace and united under one flag, except for England, who is sticking to its Brexit plans.
But only england. Scotland, wales, cornwall, north ireland, island of man, they are all not part anymore

Some kind of North Atlantic Trade Organization?
Or how about my favourite game title from the 90s that I never played: Federation of Free Traders
It kinda makes sense when you thinkabout greenland.
It would if Greenland were in the EU. And it's odd that it isn't. But Greenland isn't "part of" Denmark. They form a union along with the Faroe Islands and chose to leave the EU.

Real Americans support this.
Higher sales tax but sane policy like GDPR and workers rights by comparison in competition are a strong pull for me in this. I don't hate the idea so long as we don't receive just all the hardships on the bottom while the wealth class get all the benefits. Had Canada actually kept their budget in order and not just pissed it away into debt when they had the chance? I might be more for sovereignty but I'd definitely take advantage of all the additional opportunity to contribute to brain drain if it made sense. I actually think they would find difficulty in keeping Canadians staying in Canada if this was an option.
Even within Canada I feel trapped by low rent in a high cost of living area and I don't want to gamble on leaving the only leg up I have in the world. Leaving this situation could open me up to so many jobs but the value at the end of the day doesn't make sense because I'd be starting over in rent costs at the current market rate. So I can't make it make sense. This hurts my earning potential lifelong but what good is earning potential if it all ends up in someone else's pocket while I take higher risk positions.
I'm up for it just to trigger and over power Trump's permanent term
Truthfully, it's likely a case of either they partner with the EU or realize Trump's 51st state remark isn't bravodo.
Lately I take the stance of no more member countries until veto is removed.
That would be so cool
