Let’s put ourselves in Britains shoes for a moment:
If Canada was hypothetically part of the eu starting tomorrow, Canadians would be ok with whatever policies the eu wishes to impose upon us? I sure wouldn’t. Why would anybody want some dimwit in Brussels who we never elected making decisions on what policies are best for my country? While they are making policies that we here in Canada have to live by, we send them billions of dollars because we are a “have” country. Who in their right mind would ever go for that?
Canada has never needed the eu and i don’t believe Britains do either. If they came together as a nation during ww2 and succeeded they can deal with Brexit.
Then again maybe the eu making decisions for Canada wouldn’t be too bad. Brussels wouldn’t do a worse job than the current liberals.

I don't really care what the U.K does one way or another, but this is not a factual analysis of Britain in WWII.
For starters after WWII the U.K was lent a few billion pounds from the U.S.A an amount after interested that totaled £21 billion, and it was only paid off in 2006. Britain was practically bankrupt and had to withdraw from direct involvement in most of its colonies including Canada.
Not to mention that it is a stupid example because it is 74 years old. The world has changed, Britain's economy has changed, and Europeans attitude about one another has changed. All this is is a by gone appeal to a nationalistic nostalgia for a period in time where the U.K had some military might and were not seen as being "the bad guys" in terms of historic violence.
