Carney Says Canada Not Seeking EU ‘Membership’ but Discussing a ‘Unique Alliance’
Comments come as a Wall Street Journal report said Ottawa is seeking to become an ‘associate member’ of the EU
Prime Minister Mark Carney has denied that Canada is seeking to become a member of the European Union, stating that the government is discussing a ‘unique alliance’ instead. This comes after a Wall Street Journal report indicated Canada was considering ‘associate membership’ with the bloc. The report suggested EU members might be open to creating such a category, which doesn’t currently exist, and that discussions included visa-free work and residency for Canadians.
