    To put “(future EU member)” on Canada but nothing on Turkey, who despite negotiations currently being frozen still are a member of both the EUCU and the CoE, is definitely a choice. I’m not a fan of Erdogan and personally do not think that Turkey, nor Canada for that matter, should ever become EU members. However, given the point of the group does it seem pointless to make political statements that are completely off topic. Turkey is closer, not just geographically, to the EU than what Canada is; whether we like it or not.

        I agree. While I hope Hungary will change path after next year’s election and that both UK and Ukraine will be members within my lifetime (I’m still young, so there is hopefully time left) so do I agree with the main point. There should be a lot of opportunities to get closer and cooperate with countries outside of the EU, without membership, and Canada is already one of the closest countries to the EU and I want the EU and Canada to get as close as makes sense (and I’m certain there are many areas, including those you list, on which it makes sense to get closer).

    I doubt the European Georgia is the one producing pecans. I can only speak for the state of Georgia, but pecans are a huge industry there. So I’d be willing to bet product of georgia = USA

      Yes, Mexico and South Africa are the two biggest growers of pecans after the US. Georgia isn’t even on the list.

    Wait have I missed something when has Canada becoming an EU member? Or is this a meme I’m not aware of 😞?
