The European Commission isn't strictly ruling it out either.

I think there are unnecessary complications with joining the EU and maybe we should just focus on joining the shengen zone more similar to iceland and norway to make it happen quicker

Edit: I'm stoned right now but I'm just trying to imagine how we would retrofit every single car with EU regulated headlights for example haha. And those ugly ass long rectangle license plates. Canada has the coolest license plates in the world

Per your edit: Does joining the EU require retroactive compliance? Or is it just "follow these standards going forward"?

From The website, it seems as though we have change our regulations, then we can apply to join the EU (and also be a European nation, but that's a different thing).

Good question I don't know the answer to.
