In the Abacus poll, 46 per cent of respondents said they would support Canada becoming a member state of the EU, and 44 per cent said the Canadian government should definitely or probably look into joining it.

I love these “nearly half” declarations of support the media likes to gin up.
So…“less than half”, then?
It’s more about the trend. Last year almost no one thought it would be a good idea. So the implications is “shortly more than half might want to join the EU” or “Canadians are approaching the majority threshold”
That’s a very fair point.
Well, you are not wrong. But if you think about it it’s still a pretty significant percentage considering Canada is one ocean distant from Europe, and has always had historically relations, economically and politically with the USA, obviously given the fact they share their only border with them. So in my opinion the number gets more weight, maybe. Probably some years ago it was much lower, or they didnt asked themselves the question at all.
