Given that "sovereign" these days implicitly means independence from USA and China, and Canada being spiritually in the same boat as the EU, it's pretty spot on?
The costs of "keeping up" aren't really growing, on the contrary.
I also read about Canada maybe joining the EU in some capacity, although I'm not sure if that was a joke. Eurovision could be a start.
Ursula von der Leyen (president of european commission) propsed an "associated membership" with EU. Such an association is not defined anywhere in EU contracts yet. https://www.iss.europa.eu/publications/commentary/eus-first-...
