While of course the UK is salivating over this "falling apart", it didn't actually fall apart.
Canada never agreed to the "associate member" label -- that came from Ursula von der Leyen, and seemed to be ad libbed -- and just as we don't want to be the 51st state, we don't suddenly want to be a part of the EU instead.
And some members of the EU are rightly saying "should we maybe define what this is before we're granting it?", and they're 100% right.
