Well, Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean. Canada is just a slightly bigger island, slightly further away...

There is French territory just off the coast of Newfoundland too (see Saint Pierre and Miquelon), also Denmark is right next door because of Greenland. So while still pretty far fetched, there is some precedent for European territory in North America.

They didn't say Ireland wasn't an island because of it... But, for the record, Canada isn't an island anyway so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cyprus is already the first non-European EU member.

White supremacist imperialist conglomerate (non-US version)?

Once again, we are forced to raise the lingering question: Are Italians White?

Sounds like a football club that has no one to play against.
