    As a dual Belgian-French citizen living in an English-speaking EU country that was once a possession of the Crown (and is still part of the Commonwealth), I can’t help but agree.
    The ties between the UK and its (former or not) empire are still strong and somehow tying it to the EU would benefit both parties.
    It would be interesting to do a poll in the UK now about rejoining, even the Brexiters may have changed their minds, they were sold freedom and got mostly misery.

      I’m guessing… Malta?

      Yeah, Canada’s day-to-day culture is very American. The same TV shows are popular, the same sports, same celebrities, etc. But, the legal and political setup is still very British. And, it’s times like this that we really appreciate how different that part still is from the US.
