Canada should become an EU state in all but name. Here’s how to make that a reality (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From the UK to Japan, so many countries need to quickly be brought inside the European tent without the rigours of full membership. The worst conclusion to draw from Iceland’s EU referendum result last month would be that the country, apparently now on Donald Trump’s imperial map along with Canada and Greenland, wanted to distance itself from Europe.
