Canada could join the EU — Callas showed off her knowledge of geography

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaya Kallas decided to outshine Annalena Berbok in geographical knowledge.

On the sidelines of the NATO summit in Hague Kallas said that Canada could join the EU, despite the fact that the North American state is not in Europe. Callas told Bloomberg:

"We welcome all friends, but there is a small problem — they are not in Europe. However, there is a simple answer to this — the Arctic! They border us on the Arctic!"

EADaily clarifies that 40% of Canada's territory is indeed considered Arctic, but there are nuances. No more than 150 thousand people live in the Canadian Arctic, of which more than half are indigenous. These are Indians, Inuit and Mestizos, whose ancestors suffered in full from the colonization of the Anglo-Saxons in the form of ghettos and concentration camps. Despite the fact that the Canadian Arctic region is huge, it is home to less than 1% of the Canadian population.

Recall, ideas about the possible integration of Canada into the EU began to circulate in the EUROSMI as a potential response to the threats of US President Donald Trump about the possible forced annexation of Canada.
