As he welcomed the European Union (EU) chief’s pitch for Canada to become an “associate member” of the EU, Prime Minister Mark Carney joked that he was not “proposing a third bloc in order to become a great power rival only with better manners.” In a subtle jab at the U.S., the remark comes as both Canada and the EU face trade threats from President Donald Trump. #Canada #EU #MarkCarney #Politics
