Bloomberg is reporting that EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen and Prime Minister Mark Carney are scheduled to formalize a strategic partnership with details to be delivered during remarks on September 16th.
In the big picture this does not come as a surprise as Prime Minister Mark Carney has called Canada the most European of non-European states. The ideology of the EU bureaucracy in Brussels and the Carney government in Ottawa is in full alignment. Canada yearns to be European in part to help defend the British Commonwealth from the global reset underway by U.S. President Donald Trump.
President Trump is assembling a sovereign global structure where the tentacles of the British commonwealth system are removed. A sovereign USA, China, India, Russia and Saudi Arabia acting independently, albeit with each nation organizing their interests by forming bilateral trade and economic attachments with each other nation.
In essence President Trump is emphasizing ‘Nationalism’ over ‘Globalism’, where the influences of the old, mostly British or colonial systems are removed. In order to combat this strategic reset the U.K commonwealth countries Australia, New Zealand, the British Caribbean states and Canada are organizing themselves into a cluster with the European nations as “middle powers.”
According to the expressed defensive plan outlined by Prime Minister Mark Carney, the totality of the “middle powers” assembly would then be large enough to block the influences of the USA, China, Russia, India or Saudi Arabia.
This new alignment will be interesting against the geopolitical backdrop of the economically aligned G7 or G20 construct. However, there is a big upside. Given the nature of the expressed intent for collective defense and security, there is an immediate opportunity created by the assembly for the United States to exit NATO.
If Canada, Europe and the British Commonwealth nations organize as outlined, they should be entirely capable of defending themselves if needed from China, Russia, India or even the USA. But, then again, this is Europe and Canada we are talking about – both regional populations filled with prose and grand progressive pontifications, yet historically short on actual substance or fortitude. These are, after all, the surrender nations.
A reasonable person would agree that Southeast Asia could kick Europe’s ass in a war, and I seriously doubt the U.K is going to be able to stop the Falkland Islands from going back to Argentina without American help. [Not happening] The Vikings are a serious bunch, but together the Nord’s and the Eastern Europeans are not exactly thrilled with the imported rape-gangs.
Methinks as opposed to trying to take on the Russian and U.S submarine fleets, the Commonwealth and Euros are more likely to break out in a rather colorful civil war first. I admit fully that perspective runs against the grand prose of the Brusselians and British.
BLOOMBERG (non paywall) – The European Union and Canada are working toward a new, all-encompassing relationship that will range from trade to security, as the transatlantic partners seek to build a new alliance to offset the global power politics dominated by the US and China.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the top executive of the EU, is expected to announce the plans at her state of the union address in Strasbourg, France, September 16, according to people familiar with the preparations. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend the speech then address European lawmakers the following day.
Carney’s government has made a deeper EU partnership a top priority and is actively looking at everything short of actual membership, said a Canadian official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The discussions are particularly focused on “strategic capabilities,” such as cooperation on defense, space exploration and scientific research.
It’s not clear whether new legal tools would be needed to formalise this partnership, but those discussions are ongoing and Carney’s government will be consulting with Canadian provinces and industries, the official said.
In a remarkable speech at the World Economic Forum earlier this year, Carney warned that the “rules-based international order” was effectively dead and called on so-called middle powers to create a new global architecture to oppose pressure tactics and intimidation by the world’s great powers.
He didn’t mention US President Donald Trump by name but called on new alliances to be the last line of defense against countries that impose their economic and military might at will.
A spokesperson from Carney’s office declined to comment for this story. A spokesperson from the commission didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The contents of von der Leyen’s speech next week are still being drafted and could change before then. (more)
The G20 in Miami, December 14-15 should be very interesting.
President Trump is likely to invite Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, and I suspect the European delegation will want to bring Zelenskyy.
Stay tuned.
Ushakov: […] “Donald Trump directly communicated the desirability of bringing the conflict to an end as soon as possible, as it would immediately open up prospects – impressive and far-reaching ones at that – for the full restoration of relations between the U.S. and Russia. In his view, this would have a particular impact on trade and economic ties, promising huge benefits for both nations. Donald Trump is keen to see a breakthrough achieved during his presidency.
Better start stockpiling steel to put up a wall on the US northern border.
😆
hells bells, it will take them two years to even figure out what happened before they could formulate a plan.
As much as I would want to use American-made steel, I would fully support buying it from Canada at a massive discount. The irony would be that worth it.
Canadá is just a pass-thru for inferior Chinese-made steel.
Exactly. The only great powers they truly oppose are the US & Russia. They intentionally reduced themselves to a paper tiger while enriching Goddless China.
End
Germany best get a grip and restore her engines of productivity. Oh wait… they can’t .
True Freakonomics.
Canadian steel is cheap for a reason.
It is inferior.
The problem is a lot of it has been and would be poor grade made in China steel.
No, we just need to put up Trump billboards and they will run from them screaming in agony because their feelings are hurt.
The way Canada is being invaded right now. Its a good idea. Lots of closet CCP loyalists already in Canada.
Been saying we needed a northern wall for weeks. No way around it. The politicians plus a majority of Canadians hate us. Sad.
PDJT has a resolve of steel.
😉
Out of NATO! Out of UN! Kick UN out of US. Kick Canada out of NORAD! They are hostile foreign actors given access to the most important US national security defense systems.
This will help us get out of NATO? Then I am all for it.
You go, girls!

I’m sure it was just a coincidence. Sure it was.

POTUS just a few minutes ago:
Everyone knows that Canada doesn’t let our Great Dairy Farmers sell into the Canadian Market, and that the only reason Canada makes Autos is because of previous disastrous Trade Agreements while other Presidents were in Office. Canada has been ripping us off for years, but what many do not realize is that the Canadian Government, including Canadian Provinces, have banned American Small Businesses and Companies from selling into their Government Procurement Markets. This is the case even though Canada gets broad access into the massive American Government Procurement Market, including those of our States. That is not reciprocity, it is a Canadian Trade Scam. From now on, NO RECIPROCITY – NO ACCESS! I am hereby directing the GSA, working with the USTR, to take all necessary steps to REMOVE Canadian-origin products from GSA’s Multiple Award Schedules unless Canada restores full and fair reciprocity for American Farmers and Companies. Those schedules account for more than 50 BILLION DOLLARS a year. This should have been cut off years ago, by other Administrations, like it was by mine, only to reinstituted by Sleepy Joe Biden. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
I am sure the bright blue governments of my state and nearest big city will load up on contracts to buy from Canadian businesses when this is brought to their attention.
” … the Commonwealth and Euros are more likely to break out in a rather colorful civil war first.”
???
“???”
Seconded, OldDog.
Is that civil wars within EU countries or civil war between EU members? Civil war within theCommonwealth?
We can’t be the only two puzzled by that, OlDog.
That seems like a given to me. The Rules based order is dead. They have no money, they are broke and will soon be robbing their citizens bank accounts…. I mean putting their money to “better use”.
The Euros still feel entitled to pat the other members of The Commonwealth on the head as they steal their nations wealth via facilitating corruption.
What will immediately happen is countries like Africa will be able to work deals with USA, Russia, China, India, etc for their own nations resources will not need to give a cut to “The City of London AKA the Euros.
Civil war will break out when countries like Africa. Etc tell the Euros (pictured above) to F off.
Not to mention the citizens of the European countries will revolt against their rules based “leaders”. And what are the “ leaders”going to do about it? They have no money, no meaningful army to protect them.
The grand party of EU globalists ripping off America (and others) is over. Trump stopped the music and all those “leaders” pictured above, realize there is no chair for them at the table.
This google explanation may be helpful to those still wondering the difference between Euros and The Commonwealth;
The Commonwealth—officially the Commonwealth of Nations—is a voluntary group of 56 independent countries, most of which used to be part of the British Empire.

Head: King Charles III is the symbolic head of the association.Goal: Member nations work together to support democracy, human rights, world peace, and trade
.Rules: Members are equal and independent. They have no legal duty to obey one another. “

USA does not belong in the “surrender nations group” and we should make effort to close out our interest in the NATO group…bill
Don’t forget closing out Five Eyes – stop sharing intelligence with the UK, New Zealand, Canada and Australia.
I am sorry, every time I see that picture I chuckle. lol
“Fireworks……giggle…..lovely!”
Indeed!
Wow! I wonder how the Canadian people feel about becoming a British colony again? How about Quebec?
Talk about setting yourself back a couple of hundred years.
Shouldn’t be too much of a strain. After all, Canada is still part of the British Common
wealthpoverty.They are a British realm.
Since King Charles is already their official Head of State…..and since the King appoints a Governor General for Canada…..the transition should be seamless 🙂
Is chuckie the King Queen ?
They are fine with it. They want another visit from their king for a pep talk.
Never forget that we are all Subjects of the king!
Their formal name is still “The Dominion of Canada.”
Dominion comes from the Latin dominus, which means master. The term Dominion — that which is mastered or ruled.

Admin: Please delete my previous attempt. Had to fix my email.
I recognize that the Euros and Snow Mexicans are not exactly logical thinkers about reality…….but wouldn’t it be totally logical if they are putting together some sort of “new” Euro-centric economic and defense gaggle, that they would actually SEEK to have the US leave NATO?
I’ll provide the popcorn 🙂
Seeing “Canada Becoming a de facto European Protectorate” now in September 2026 made me think “Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg becoming French Protectorates” back in May 1940.
Just who do the Canucks and the Yurps think will threaten them with invasion, eh?
LOL. They can take Canada’s submarines from the Edmonton Mall, Britain’s 1 working warship, whatever the French have, and a couple German tanks and make a go of it. Honestly, these clowns don’t stand a chance versus the Rhode Island national guard.
Thanks for the great laugh! Rhode Island National Guard ;>)
You never considered the mighty British Navy in their army, oh wait Britain had to borrow a Navy ship from France as for the mighty army I read yesterday that they stopped training, cause they don’t have any money. I guess nobody has to worry about their mighty army. Europe is screwed.

Here I am stuck in the middle with EU.
😂😂😂
Wordman(tm) has to be envious.
Well played, Sir! 😄
Given the US alone dwarfs this ‘middle powers’ alliance, in terms of military capability and numbers, and its economy likewise, just how is it going to block anything.
Including China, Russia, India and Saudi Arabia makes this a Middle Earth powers alliance, i.e. pure fantasy.
They’re too busy preening in their mirrors to sense the fantasy… or too much stuff on the mirrors?
The “Middle Powers” aka The Peanut Gallery.
Europe wanting close ties with Canada is a socialist politician’s wet dream. It would allow an even easier way to rid themselves of the third world onslaught of illegals. Think of it as a giant scale Liebensraum. Definitely theUS needs a big beautiful Northern wall.
No. We won’t be joining NATO or the EU+Canada as they rush towards Suicide Cliff. Sitting this one out. But they can have at it.
Americans who grew up during the Cold War will have to reorganize their thinking.
Russia is not our enemy. They are instead a natural ally. That means that it’s a waste of our time and resources to be a member of NATO.
Just as Russia is a natural ally for us, the EU/NATO block is a natural enemy.
It seems that the “Donroe Doctrine,” coupled with a return to the Hamiltonian American System of Economics and an America First Nationalism, will completely destroy the old rules based international order.
This is WINNING! May God continue to bless and protect President Trump and his loyal allies.
sure seems to be the case
I hope it works.
I fought the Cold War and my thinking has been reorganized for more than a decade maybe a bit longer.
…as did my oldest brother who was a fire-breathing threat to anyone who couldn’t figure things out. He enlisted in the Navy in 1945 hoping to help with the end of World War Eleven (as AOC says), and got catapulted (for 28 years) directly into the Cold War. He was crew and photographer on the U-2 flights along the Finland/Russia border.
Bruce Gordon said, “Americans who grew up during the Cold War will have to reorganize their thinking.”
I was born in 1944 and grew up during the Cold War. I never thought Russia was our enemy although I always knew the Soviet Union was our enemy. They are not the same two things.
So true. It’s is rarely the people, and always the govts, that cause the troubles and hardship.
Five eyes need their eyes poked out.
nice job canaduh, you’ll be just like the eu and you’ll have even more islamic gimmiegrants than before with all that freedumb of movement between the eu states.
That they will make sure come to the US through open borders as the globalists plan.
That’s not a good thing for the US either.
“The G20 in Miami, December 14-15 should be very interesting.
“President Trump is likely to invite Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, and I suspect the European delegation will want to bring Zelenskyy.“
Is it possible that Zelensky would survive until December?
They remind me of the bitter new “party”, mtg, crazy tucker, and the other two, already forgot their names…lol.
The ” Trump won’t do it our way so we will spite him and leave” party.😂
Those with resentments are drinking poison hoping we die.
Sounds like “the briar patch” strategy
I have said it before but it should also be announced during the speech by Carney that the US is ending its participation in USMC. Start that 6 month countdown as he is speaking to the EU. And yes, through in our withdrawal from NATO and the removal of the UN headquarters in NYC.
As of 2024, a special law requires that any withdrawal from NATO must also receive consent from two-thirds of the Senate or be approved through an Act of Congress.
In other words — leaving NATO is not going to happen while Trump is President….if ever.
Depends on how SCOTUS rules on the law.
Precisely. The actual NATO treaty does not require the President to get permission from Congress and it is in the President’s foreign affairs authority to withdraw from any treaty that was not so structured. All previous Presidents could have done so without going to Congress first, but none would have. But the RINOs and Dems with autopen Biden as ‘President’ wanted to restrict Trump and only Trump from withdrawing because he was the only one who might try to withdraw. The law is unconstitutional, but as Pete says, it depends on how SCOTUS rules on it. I think when Trump feels the timing is right, he should give it a try.
Just rescind this new law…congress oh where are you?
Where there is a will, there is a way and the President will find it.
I’m getting a Blazing Saddles, “We’ve got to protect our phoney baloney jobs”, vibe from this partnership announcement.
HARRUMPH HARRUMPH HARRUMPH!

The VAT rate ranges from 17-27% across Europe. Are Canadians ready to pay Brussels a higher sales tax rate for this privilege? I do not believe that Prime Minister Charlatan has their best interests in mind. Brussels can implement the VAT promptly while the remaining trade integration details take time to process.
😉
Please exit the NATO agreement. Do it!
Is it possible to rename the Arctic Ocean as America Ocean?
Free Riders do get upset when someone does not fill the trough for them. It looks like Canada was not our friend, we were their Sucker. Not many of them contributed 2% to defense, Canada was the biggest Free Rider. Looks like President Trump is finding another group of people to be aligned with.
The dumbest people in history aligning with the second dumbest people in history.
Unelected bureaucrats destroying nations with their edicts in progress. Elected leaders of nations acting like they need to band together to protect themselves from who, possibly their own people maybe. They have shrunk their military to essentially non existent. I’m really confused.
I see it as a bitter-sweet goodbye and a tentative hello.
“…Mark Carney has called Canada the most European of non-European states.” That’s a big problem, and we might call it ‘European Creep.’ And, any right-minded American doesn’t want to be a Canadian European, those on the left might, but I beg to differ.
Only the moonbats and university lot want to be euro-useless. I’m out.
Most of the left that want to be European have never been there. They should live there for a year at least to find out it is not everything they thought it was.
True
Canada, Australia, New Zealand were three of the Five Eyes agreement to look at our NSA files. The other 2 are the UK and USA.
Five Eyes will die with this.
As it should.
I would love to see Trump start drawing-down troops and military gear from NATO. He could do that today with no one to stop him. Not sure if he could autocratically exit NATO, but that would be glorious. It’s nothing but a blackhole of American taxpayer money getting laundered and divvied-up amongst graft specialists. The Europeans can get stuffed.
Con-Gress and Joe Biden made sure President Trump or any other President can’t withdraw us from NATO.
We can draw down troops and equipment to zero and still be in NATO.
And yes, we do need to draw them down to zero. Now already.
I’m not sure the Canadian people are going to benefit from all this maneuvering.
Not being sarcastic,but do you really believe what you just posted?
Oh, and special alert for Canadians. The head of the EU wants to put private bank accounts under EU control. They are running out of money and are floating the idea of using individual private bank accounts to fund their crazy-ass ideas. Incredible that the PM would think that failing model of government would be a better option for Canada. JUST INCREDIBLE. But go for it. You deserve that as a country. And don’t come crawling back to us to help you out. That ship has sailed.
It makes sense when you realize that Carney sees Canada as a banana republic to be looted. He cares nothing for the Canadian people other than what can be extracted from them.
BINGO! Too bad the Canadian people don’t know that!
Canada is going down the hole and the people living there haven’t a clue. Very few of them. It is the only place on earth where the tail wags the Dog.
Does the ms von der leyen think she is Charlemagne reborn?
HEY! That’s an insult to Charlemagne!
With China deeply embedded in all things Canaduh, I wonder how Carney thinks this in gonna work. 🤔
I’m wondering how that’s going to work.
“According to the expressed defensive plan outlined by Prime Minister Mark Carney, the totality of the “middle powers” assembly would then be large enough to block the influences of the USA, China, Russia, India or Saudi Arabia.”
This is claptrap and everyone knows it.
Welcome to The Jungle.
An EU / Commonwealth entity would have a population of 2.95 billion people. Why would it need need security from a country of 349 million people. 🤔😉😁
As much as I understand the reality behind the city of London tactics and controls, it is still a shock to me that the reality is our ancient friends are actually our enemies. And our previously perceived enemies are in fact are our friends.

. . . the Commonwealth and Euros are more likely to break out in a rather colorful civil war first . . .
Since Führer Ursela Van Der Crazy is already eyeballing the bank accounts of all those EU subjects, and even said so publicly, there’s probably going to be a massive, widespread bank run and it’s about to get really nasty over there.

The new Canadian $20 bill will have the likeness of King Charles III on it. The current $20 bill has the likeness of Queen Elizabeth the II on it. And they swear they’re a “sovereign nation”.
And how does this all work with Canada cozying up with China?
Personally I would like to see the US get out of the UN. And I would like to cut all military ties with Canada and their worthless military because they are emerging as a security threat to the US. End the “5-eyes”.
China is going to get out of Canada.
China will get Australia.
And maybe, also, some of those little Commonwealth nations in the Pacific.

My thought also. But will the Canadians be blindsided by a Chinese rug pull?
The NEXT Canadian 20 may have a different portrait
How many here have seen images of vehicles with US license plates being vandalized in Toronto. It’s happening. That is where we are with the leftists in Canada.
For those who still doubt that the European monarchs, led by the British Crown, have been ruling the US (as well as Western Europe and the rest of the Anglosphere) from behind the scenes, consider this….
Without the US being a military super power, the 50 year farce of the Cold War would have never been possible.
A US puppet State of the monarchs can play the dual role of being the hated John Wayne big bully… culturally hated by Western elites on both sides of the pond….while acting on behalf of the monarchs.
Sound familiar? The GOP plays the same exact boogeyman role domestically.
