BREAKING: POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE! Prime Minister Mark Carney announces that Canada is in talks to join a "unique alliance" with the European Union — cutting Trump off at the knees.
The world is shifting beneath our feet for good...
"What we are looking — and will begin discussions for — is a unique alliance between Canada and the European Union," Carney said. "We share the same values, we have the same priorities and we have very complementary strengths."
He added that Canada is not looking to become a "member" of the EU, but the roadmap he's laying out could be the best of both worlds. A possible "associate member" status would deepen trade ties between Canada and a roughly $21 trillion single market. At the same time, the unique status of this new relationship would allow Canada to maintain its national identity in a meaningful way.
Carney is traveling to France and the United Kingdom this week, will deliver an address to the European Parliament, and will attend the State of the European Union address by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Strasbourg.
According to the Globe and Mail, it was actually the EU who suggested this special associate membership, a new, specially created status, the details of which are still being ironed out. It would represent an unprecedented move by the EU, which has been rigid when it comes to admitting non-European nations.
This astonishing development comes as Trump continues to escalate his trade war and deranged rhetoric against the United States' northern neighbor, shredding our closest alliance. The White House has shown that we cannot be trusted to remain a stable partner because we are only ever one bad election away from empowering a demented, criminal lunatic.
Under discussion is an arrangement that would allow Canadian goods, services, and workers in crucial strategic sectors like energy, AI, and defense to move freely between their home country and the EU, essentially moving borders of the EU to encompass Canada.
On top of that, Canada and the EU are discussing joint projects like laying underwater cables, the construction of data centers, cloud storage, and other key technological endeavors. As if that weren't enough, they may end up building out new systems for delivering Canadian energy straight to the EU.
Carney, who through his bold, unprecedented leadership has staked a claim to being the leader of the free world, has spoken regularly with EU leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron, and the relationships are quickly deepening.
This was unthinkable just a few short years ago, but thanks to Trump the world is reordering itself — and leaving America in the dust.
So much for Canada becoming the 51st state.
Please ❤️ and share if you wish Mark Carney was our President!
Here is 92-year-old former Prime Minister of Canada Jean Chretien’s inspiring and unifying and brilliant speech to Canadians. Speaking of Canada’s kindness is not weakness. Reminding Americans that Canadians were there for Americans after 9/11. He’s awake, he’s coherent and he’s kind and wise. We are proud to be Canadian.
❤️🇨🇦
My Lord.
@JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read.
Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon.
One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake.
Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds.
Really says it all.
