Ursula von der Leyen wants Canada in the EU club

Original version ·

It looks like the EU is ready to invite Canada to the party as a permanent plus-one.

With Donald Trump back in the mix and threatening tariffs, Canada is looking for new friends. Enter Ursula von der Leyen, who thinks it is a great time to bring the Great White North into the European Union fold as its first-ever associate member.

This is a massive shift from the usual continental boundaries. Essentially, Brussels is saying that if Washington is going to keep the trade drama going, they might as well just invite the neighbors to join the club to keep the supply chains humming without the headache.

It turns out that when the world gets weird, international borders become more like suggestions than hard rules.
