Fascinating discussion with wonderful @stevepeers.bsky.social on whether Canada could become member of EU.
As EU treaties stand, no - as admission Article 49 process limited to European countries.
But, if EU and Canada did it by treaty, then yes. Canada could be member if EU really wanted it to.

The video is too long for me to post here. But this is a link to Caroline Kennedy reading her letter to senators about her cousin Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
In a nutshell, she depicts him as an unqualified, deranged, drug-addled, corrupt, and lying sociopath.
