Also, with the helicarrier at the end, I consider Deadpool Canon to the MCU. It's not. They went out of their way to make sure that wasn't recognisable as a Helicarrier so that they weren't violating copyright. It's the same reason that there's no reference to Bob being an agent of HYDRA.

There are also solid indicators that Deadpool is part of the same universe as the other X-Men movies. The X-Mansion and the Blackbird look exactly the same, when Colossus tells Deadpool that they are taking him to see Xavier, Deadpool asks "McAvoy or Stewart? This timeline is really confusing." and Deadpool wears a magazine cutout of Hugh Jackman's face as a mask and does an Aussie accent when he says that he had to give Wolverine sexual favours in order to get his own movie.

That's one of the reasons I'm glad Fox have the X-Men rights. If Disney had the rights, they would never give us an R-rated Deadpool. well duh, I know that. I just said I consider it canon, as in headcanon, as in I'm placing the blu ray in my mcu section, as in I know it's not canon, but I still consider it part of the timeline just for kicks.
