Prime Minister Mark Carney
“The world is more dangerous and divided. In response, Canada and the European Union are building on each other’s strengths – deliberately, systematically, and rapidly – to form a new, ambitious alliance. An alliance that builds resilience for what it allows us to do for our citizens, and our citizens to do for themselves. An alliance strong enough so that no one can dictate our choices, and an alliance open enough that others can join.” – Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada

Posted October 26th, 2026 on Niagara At Large
A very brief foreword note from Doug Draper at Niagara At Large – Regardless of how many of may have misgivings with Mark Carney on tar sands pipelines and related issues, this is one of the reasons that I voted for him in the last federal election – to address Trump’s threats against our country by moving us away from any significant dependence on the United States. Now here is the news release from the Prime Minister’s office.

Ottawa, Ontario – For the past year and a half, Canada and the European Union have been working with speed and determination to forge an ambitious new partnership. One that leverages our complementary strengths and delivers greater certainty, security, and prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic.
To advance this partnership, Canada will host the Canada-European Union (EU) Summit in Montréal, Québec, from October 29 to 30, 2026.
The opportunity is clear. The EU brings market power, research depth, and manufacturing strength. Canada brings abundant energy, critical minerals, world-class capabilities in space, artificial intelligence (AI), and quantum, and one of the world’s strongest banking systems.
At the Summit, Prime Minister Carney will work with the President of the European Council, António Costa, and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to turn these complementary strengths into concrete benefits for our peoples.
Together, we will deliver more choice and lower costs for consumers, new export markets for businesses, and greater opportunities for young people to live, work, and study where they want – in Canada or the EU.
The Summit will build on the momentum gained since last year’s launch of the New EU-Canada Strategic Partnership of the Future and the Security and Defence Partnership. Since then, Canada has become the first non-European country to join the EU’s SAFE initiative, unlocking hundreds of millions of dollars in opportunities and market access for Canadian defence industries, businesses, and workers.
Prime Minister Carney has deepened Canada’s engagement with European partners, becoming the first non-European leader to participate in the European Political Community Summit. He also addressed the European Parliament last month, where he set out his vision for a new alliance for the future. The 2026 Canada-EU Summit will move that vision from ambition to action.
