Not an expert on this, but if Orban is really stubborn about it - and flaunts EU rules generally - couldn’t the suspension clause be used on Hungary? If I’m understanding it right, once voting rights are suspended, they’d no longer have a say in objecting to Canada’s accession during the duration of the suspension.
It already probably would have been for all the other nefarious shit they do, except they’ve had a sympathetic fashy government somewhere else in the EU to block it. It was Poland, now it’s IIRC Slovakia.
We should just create EU 2.0 without them, with proper rules to handle that bullshit in the future, and… I don’t know, Blackjack maybe.
I mean, we’re already talking about a NATO 2.0, aren’t we?
Of course, that’s their decision to ultimately make.

I have no clue, but I hope they figure it out soon. This is extremely annoying.
