Wrong.

Canada should join BRICS

Care to explain that a bit? I'm not that familiar with BRICS beyond the first paragraph of its Wiki page

There's a few BRICS member and partner countries in the Western hemisphere already: Brazil, Bolivia, and Cuba. In addition to the current members, the US is pissing all over its partners in Latin America and I think we can expect even more countries to join. If the US really is declining, Canada has to think about who its partners in the Western hemisphere are going to be.

But why join BRICS over the EU? (asking because I don't know)

It makes more sense to shore up relations in the Western hemisphere than to go halfway around the world.

But can we not negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement with both? The EU and BRICS?

Maybe! Without the US meddling, anything is possible.
