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 Canada, 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.
The Warsaw Pact is long gone and so should NATO. The only worry is can Europe be allowed to retain Nukes as they become more and more African and Muslim? I pray the real Europeans wake up before then.
The Golden Dome was not necessarily only for countering Russian launched missiles.
Considering this group of miscreants, the shortest flight paths for ballistic missiles are going to be straight over Greenland which explains much of the interest in an expanded US presence there.
Trying to remove nukes from what may come out of the former UK and France if need be is not going to have an easy solution.
These are, after all, the surrender nations.
ouch
They have woken up, but the corruption is stifling
What about the Canadians?
At least the individual countries on Europe were offered a (fraudulent) Referendum on joining…Yes or No, with two do overs when Portugal and Ireland voted No in the first ones.
Has Carney declared himself Dictator yet? Like his buddy Little Z Man?
Is the decision to “join” the EU his solely to make with no input from the Canadian populace?
Do most Canadians know or understand what he is about to do? Tying their country to the sinking ship which is the EU?
Do they have any voice in this at all?
Rhetorical questions only, because we know the answers.

If we won’t have a reason to stay in NATO, then shouldn’t we consider exiting 5Eyes? USA contributes the most intelligence. Are we really going to give it to a bloc that in some cases hates us? Afterall, U.K & Australia were directly part of the big HOAX.
This ‘middle powers’ business is nonsense. About the only power they have left, separately or combined, is the ability to put on some really impressive and fancy military parades. They are basically defenseless without the real military power possessed by the U.S. to back them up.
Britain and “the middle powers” are in the process of committing economic and ethnic suicide and are not be in a position to block anything … not even their own demise. But, if AFD in Germany and Reform in the UK manage to gain power, they are more likely to join DJT’s revolution, rather than block it. But, the clock is ticking. Soon, it will be too late for either party to rescue their respective country from a terminal death spiral.
And speaking of Britain, are they going to instruct Iran to make a deal with the US, so that this radical terrorist government remains intact, albeit hobbled, rather than allowing DJT to press for a regime change and thereby end the City of London’s influence on this inhumane terrorist regime? The Iranian president certainly seems to want a deal before all is lost, but the IRGC seems bent on suicide by cop (AKA – suicide by the US military), rather than suffer the embarrassment of defeat in a conflict that they can not possibly win.
What an uplifting article, please post more like this Sundance.
Hard to believe the Canadians landed an infantry division on D-day in June 1944. Right now they could not fight their way out of a paper bag. The North Star, strong and free, has lost its way.
Let him have it. He is a boy. And he might be a Republican.
Alas I remember the days when, as a boy, I had a very German dentist who did not “believe” in novacaine. I endured drillings with no anesthesia.
I suspect the experience was the reason I was an anesthesiologist for 45 years.
Those drills were scary. All driven by belts and pulleys.
My childhood dentist would inject the Novocain and start drilling immediately.
“These are, after all, the surrender nations.” 😎🤣😂🤣🤣
Oh Canada, and Greenland too?! This is indeed a massive insult to America. After All We have Done for Them… FLUSH THRICE, it’s a long way to Bejing Mr. Carney. China’s Grin is Big and Wide.
Yes! Just keep laundering money through Ukraine and they will all be OK.
An offer the EU and NATO can’t refuse.
Reorganize NATO into the EU Defense Force and renegotiate security agreements with all non EU countries or suffer the embarrassing, economic, and possibly EU ending, loss of America and maybe others pulling out of NATO.
It is in Europe’s interest to do this deal because it will incentivize other countries to join the EU, modernize all the security in the region, economically bolster the Union, and give the EU credibility for managing it’s own defense.
This deal also removes congress from any decision pulling the US out of NATO because it will no longer exist. It also opens the door to North and South America updating their relationships to focus on our hemisphere. Greenland will be part of the deal and Canada will, well, they will just stay Canada for a while until they realize what they are missing out on.
Over the last year I’ve watched how Canada has quietly realligned their internal policies to match those of the EU. As an example, I’d point to the Canada-European Union Green Alliance . Additionally, Canada has turned to the EU for their military purchases and became the first Non-EU member into the EU’s EU’s SAFE Instrument . Canada formally became an associated member of Horizon Europe—the EU’s flagship €95.5 billion scientific research and innovation funding program.
All this is to say that this process began the second Carney stepped into office. And, a lesson was learned during that last trade agreement negotiated between the EU and Canada. France was a hold out for something like a decade because of “environmental standards”. But, that has been remedied by the above listed allignment on Green Policy.
There’s only one piece missing. The legal systems between the EU and Canada are not the same. I would expect covert efforts to change that by Carney in the not too distant future.
Interesting.
Canada is quickly becoming a security threat to the United States. They are plotting against America. Canada does not belong, squatters, would not exist except for America. Lets get the pain over with
If those countries want to ally, best of luck to them. No more sweetheart deals for them. They need US way more than we need them.
Why do they want to be a middle player. 2nd place is just the first loser.
Middle flowers more like it.
Will France and Canada fight with the UK in the Faulklands?
With all the turmoil in the world, and Donald’s soon departure, what will be left? Gen Z has no clue about history and politics. What Trump starts, needs to continue after he leaves. And it looks like it will be dismantled as fast as it can. The next generation to lead the nation embraces socialism, dis-inclusion, hold no real skillsets, and have no pride in the American way. The Republicans don’t give a rats rear end about winning or working for the people. We still have a bunch of entitled government servants that serve themselves. At the end of the day, the younger gen use social media and tech to communicate their displeasure at the current state of affairs. They vote, cheat, burn, and smash anything in their way. Sad to say, they get away with it!
I’d say we are headed towards our own civil war. Death by a thousands cuts.
I see a wedding in the future, Ursula von Frankenstein and that bitch Carney. A match made in hell.
And the Evil garbage occupying the UN say what ?
Completely defund the UN and forcibly evict every nation member upon their trip to the nearest airport and confiscate visas upon boarding.
The outdated NATO should also be withdrawn from and defund it which will make it clearly visible how much of the 750+ billion going to NATO is stolen or used to prop up many.
We no longer stand on guard for Ye
