Yes, Canada has a legal path to E.U. membership – but would it want this?

    The real thing I’d dread is that Euros are heavy as fuck. You have too much change in like half or less the time it takes here.

      That’s true, it seems like the loonie is 6.27g and the 1 Euro coin is 7.5g.

      That’s an increase of about 19.6% so that would kind of suck. The 2 Euro coin is heavier than the toonie by an even larger margin. Not to mention that we would also have to get rid of quarters and introduce 2 more coins: 0.20 and 0.02.

        Huh. I guess some of the extra was just from the higher spending and no tipping while visiting. That makes sense.

        Not to mention that we would also have to get rid of quarters and introduce 2 more coins: 0.20 and 0.02.

        Honestly, that wouldn’t bother me. I guess a goose on one of them?
