Canada PM Carney seeks 'unique alliance' with EU, rules out membership

Canadian PM Mark Carney clarified Canada seeks a 'unique alliance' with the EU, not membership, following a WSJ report that he was considering 'associate member' status. The EU is reportedly open to creating a new associate status, though no formal mechanism exists. This signals a potential deepening of Canada-EU ties outside traditional accession, with implications for transatlantic alignment.
