I mean as the requirements is now yes it’s impossible since Canada is not part of Europe by any stretch of the imagination.

I assume the article mentions that that’s not true. They already have a member totally outside of Europe (Cyprus).

But since Europe is a man made concept since Asia and Europe are on the same continent letting in counties that are on Eurasia seems easier allowing a North American country in would require some stretching.

That part is accurate, though.

I have a feeling once we’re already integrated in every way that matters we’d have a much stronger argument for official membership, so that’s where we need to go anyway.
