Canada also had a land border with France. Vimy Ridge is sovereign Canadian territory, ceded by France after WW1.

So, in a way, we’re already a European country.

Sorry, it’s not sovereign CA territory. The use of the land was granted in perpetuity to CA, the land remains French.

Ah. Really, I thought it was. Thanks. :/

See Wikipedia: “France ceded to Canada the perpetual use of a portion of land on Vimy Ridge on the understanding that Canada use the land to establish a battlefield park and memorial.”
