Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada wants 'unique alliance' with EU, not membership
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported28m ago
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada is seeking a "unique alliance" and a much stronger economic and security partnership with the European Union, rather than pursuing full membership in the economic bloc.
The announcement comes ahead of an EU-Canada summit scheduled to be hosted by Carney in Montreal next month, where formal discussions on deepening bilateral ties are set to begin.
Describing Canada as "the most European of non-European countries," the Prime Minister's push for closer ties with Europe is also framed in the context of countering a hostile United States.
