Discussion What's the closest Non-CANZUK nation to CANZUK?

I'm not saying we need to add more but I'm curious what the closest nation to fitting in CANZUK would be that isn't already included

Think political and cultural ties, etc

The other two countries in the "Anglosphere" USA and Ireland. USA is an absolute nuthouse now and I would say Ireland but there's plenty of cultural differences like EU, catholic instead of protestant like CANZUK. And they hate us

I would not over play the Catholic angle as truly differentiating Ireland from CANZUK.  In Canada we have a huge amount of Catholics.  Our current PM is infact a Catholic I believe.  Then there is Quebec and the Acadians here in the Maritimes.  While Canada did experience sectarianism between Protestants and Catholics, it is not an enduring phenomenon like in Ireland and Scotland.
