I did a bit of digging.
Not as dumb of an idea as I had thought.

And I like this part.

Canada and the EU ... an important relationship
Canada?s economic and political relationship with the EU is comprehensive and longstanding - in fact, in 1976, Canada became the very first non-European nation to conclude an economic cooperation agreement with what was then the European Economic Community (EEC). Over the years, the Canada-EU relationship has been strengthened by a host of other agreements in areas such as education, customs, competition, science and technology, and nuclear matters.

Today, the relationship between Canada and the European Union represents a shared vision in many areas. Whether in the fields of industry, science and technology, arms control and disarmament, Northern cooperation, global trade policy, agriculture, environment, forestry, immigration, health, culture, federalism, police cooperation or intelligence sharing - our approach involves a vast and active network among Canada-EU counterparts.

Today, Canada looks to the European Union as an exciting place for trade development and our trade relations are rich and diversified. The European Union represents Canada?s second most important trading partner - our annual two-way trade in goods and services is over $78 billion. Canada?s direct investment in the EU has grown substantially over the past decade reaching over $100 billion ... in fact, just surpassing EU investment in Canada.


Perhaps if NAFTA continues to be a "One sided deal." .... Who knows?
