EU Opens Door to Canada as First Associate Member

Pro-Europe narrative

Trump's annexation taunts and reckless tariffs have shattered the old continental bargain, so Canada is right to bind itself to Europe as an associate member. The payoff runs both ways: an economy bigger than all but three member states, a 10% boost to EU output, critical minerals, oil, gas and uranium, plus real military-industrial cooperation. Europe finally has a chance to prove its market power means something instead of drifting into irrelevance.
