Canada eyes stronger EU ties amid U.S. tension and opportunities
Canada's public broadcaster, CBC, confirmed that it is considering strengthening its relations with the European Union. This comes amid tensions in relations with the USA and the potential economic and political benefits of such a move.
In light of the strained relations with the USA, Canadian politicians are weighing the advantages of closer cooperation with the EU. Earlier this year, in January, "The Economist" discussed this topic, highlighting the opportunity to update alliances.
The former Deputy Premier of Alberta, Thomas Lukaszuk, emphasises that Poland could bring Canada closer to the EU.
Experts cited by CBC indicate the low probability of Canada attaining full EU membership but highlight the potential for cooperation within the "European neighbourhood." During discussions with the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, underscored the importance of close economic collaboration between Canada and the EU.
