It would mean replacing The CAD with the EUR, would be kinda funny to see EU flags on the border between the US and Canada though...
-
In fact, the following EU countries do not (yet) use the euro, but their own currency:
Bulgaria
Czech Republic
Hungary
Poland
Romania
Sweden-
Also Denmark.

Denmark has a dispensation they arranged when forming the EU.
Sweden and the other countries does not.
When joining the EU you are commited to switching to the Euro when you have fullfilled the criteria for doing so, Sweden has decided to not fullfill the criterias required and will therefore keep the Krona for the forseeable future.

In theory they're legally obligated to switch one day. In practice Romania is being blocked by other EU members.

You can still decorate your Euros how you want, so we could keep our beavers and loons.
-
You have loons on your doubloons? 👀

Yes, we call our dollar coins "loonies" as a result. By analogy, the bimetallic $2 coin is the "toonie" for two.
That looks like a joke written out, but it is not.

I want this if only just to see Vance complaining about EU expansion at their border.
No need for them to adopt the Euro though. Many EU countries are still on their original currency even now.
