    Even if it was possible, wouldn’t it require a huge amount of work on the Canadian side to implement the European level of regulations?

      I read where you say “improve safety by following rules proved elsewhere” and I can only think the goal is worth the work.

      Our closest neighbour just canned anyone who can tell them where and how they’re being unsafe - and relaxed the rules on lead content in drinking water - and I’m thinking we know whom we don’t want to follow!

        I’ve always kinda considered that the EU is more of a political than a geographical thing, so having Canada join wouldn’t really shock me.

        But it would be a very different direction from the one followed next to the noisy US neighbour, and likely one that would displease it mightily.
