Pouring effusive and slobbering praise over the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the anointed “middle power” leader of a shrinking -and increasingly irrelevant- new world order, with grand pontifications EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen announced today that Canada is the first “Associate Member” of the European Union.
It’s a major award! As noted by Reuters, “There is currently no such status as “associate member” set out in the European Union’s treaties — though various versions of an associate-type of membership have been floated in the bloc over the years. Germany suggested Ukraine be an associate member as an interim stage to full accession, though the proposal failed to gain traction as some EU capitals pushed back.”
von der Leyen gushed: “Dear Mark, I said we must urgently reimagine our partnerships. So, I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to be the first associate member of the EU. We share one ocean, one set of values, one way of seeing the world. And we will now build our shared future as well – thank you for being here.” Mark Carney sat with a big smile, giddy with excitement and barely able to control his visible glee. WATCH:
DAILY MAIL – […] But the attempt to flatter the former Governor of the Bank of England backfired, with diplomats saying they were never briefed about the proposal and that, in effect, ‘associate membership’ doesn’t even exist.
EU diplomats accused Brussels of ‘over-reach’, an accusation often levelled against Eurocrats by UK Brexiteers before Britain left the bloc.
One EU diplomat told the Mail: ‘This bombastic announcement is just not right.
‘There will be a summit at the end of October, so logically they will talk about deepening the relations.
‘But no one has ever seen an associate membership and no idea what it means in practice. Canada is a valuable partner for the EU, one of the few currently in the world where we share the values, so it is nothing against Canada.
‘But first and foremost the member states should be the ones to express what kind of relationship the EU wants to have with any third country.’
Another added: ‘She kept this bit of associate membership out of the text until the last moment. She also did not mention it up front to EU member states.
‘It seems like she is a bit too far out in floating this. Everyone is positive about Canada, and wants to strengthen the relationship.
‘But there is a lot of uncertainty about what von der Leyen envisages by coining this label.’
They added that, in reality, the most that can likely be hoped for is a deeper trading relationship rather than ‘associate membership’, which implies Canada taking part in EU programmes that it would be forced to pay into, becoming more politically integrated and potentially even having a say over the bloc’s rules.
But there would be huge barriers to overcome to establish closer ties, as swathes of Canada’s regulations are at present incompatible with EU single market rules, with high taxes on the bloc’s alcohol exports another thorny issue.
Under EU law, any granting of membership would have to be approved by the 27 member states, which is another reason they were wrong-footed. (read more)
We all know what this is.
This is simply a joint Canada/Europe response to the geopolitical realignment currently underway by U.S. President Donald Trump.
At the core of the CA/EU association is the insufferable leftist mindset. A pontificating pretense that elites and globalists should determine the outcomes and values for the rest of the world.
Together both Europe and Canada convey a mindset and worldview that organizes fabricated problems to keep control of their populations. It’s a corporatist structure of modern Fascism where instead of govt telling the corporations what to do, the World Economic Forum of multinationals tell the governments what to do. It’s a constructed social and economic model where Western bankers are in charge of the proles beneath them.
The pontificating snobbery within the collective outlook, the pretenses and bureaucracy have nothing to do with representative government, as outlined in the unilateral approach by Ursula von der Leyen to create a status that doesn’t even exist, without any consultation with the members she is supposed to represent.
This move today is the personification of elitism and globalism in its last, desperate dying state.
For the little schoolboy inside Mark Carney, this is the culmination of a lifetime goal to be important. For the Canadian people, this should be embarrassing; but it’s not.
Canada is part of a British Commonwealth, and they proclaim “sovereignty” as their cause celeb against the horrible Trump, while rushing to the arms of the European Commission.
Actually, on second thought, this is perfectly Canadian.
Here’s the point that will be missed by 80% of Canadians. The EU trade rules do not align with the USMCA. I don’t mean that in a vague or disingenuous manner. The specific rules, regulations and policies of the European Union are not compatible with the trilateral North American trade agreement between the U.S, Mexico and Canada. It’s not even close.
What most Canadians don’t realize amid all this gleeful back-slapping and pretentious cheer, is that Mark Carney has officially sealed the position of Canada as it relates to the USMCA/CUSMA.
Canada just did exactly what President Trump and U.S. Trade Greer had been organizing and hoping for. Mark Carney just pulled Canada out of the USMCA and there’s no one to blame but himself.
We have been waiting for this for a long time. Thank you, Mark Carney.
A Major Award!

For THOSE That are Un-Appraised:
” ” There once was a man walking through the woods at night…
Without a flashlight, he proceeds with care, as he tries to follow the path. Through the silent of the night, he hears a faint sentence in the distance.
“When the log rolls over, we’ll all be dead”
Though petrified, his curiosity takes hold and he walks in the direction he heard the sound.
Soon along the path, he finds a two-story house, with one light on. “It must’ve come from there,” he said. As he opens the door, he hears that same sentence again.
“When the log rolls over, we’ll all be dead”
It came from the 2nd story, though the voice and phrase was frightening to him, he pushed forward. As he walks through the hallway and climbs the last staircase, he hears it again, this time to the door right next to the stairs.
“When the log rolls over, we’ll all be dead.”
With shaking hands, he opens the door to see that it is a bathroom. He hears something sloshing around in the toilet, so he opens the lid.
He finds the source of the voice. Three ants, on a piece of shit.
“When the log rolls over, we’ll all be dead” “
quinn… thank you
perfect !!
guess I am older than I thought….
kinda made me think about all the political grouping how stupid they are.
So, does the monarchy have final say over Canada so set this up as a backdoor return to the EU nullifying the Brexit vote?
Subjects; given how there was no vote by citizens for such entry guess it’s true, Canadians are in reality subjects of the crown, at least until they decide to not be anymore, though might be too late given the high number of immigrants from China and India, peoples who came from countries where dictators and the caste system still determines what those people can think, or do.
I can hear Von-der-leyen and Carney now saying this is all a wonderful move to “saving our democracy”. It’s how they roll.
<I can hear Von-der-leyen and Carney now saying this is all a wonderful move..>
Von-der-leyen is Industrious…And she wants to be our latex salesman! 🙂
One can’t help but wonder how the population of Canada thinks about becoming joined at the hip with the EU? Oh, that’s right, they don’t get to vote on something this momentous.
2 Bombastic Simpletons ! Ursula all ways Lying has just added more weight to the sinking ship of fools
Carney is bombastic (for a scrawny little lizard) but he ain’t n0 simpleton imho. Intelligent and pure evil. Which makes him deceptively dangerous.

I would like to announce that from now on I am the associate emperor of the EU and Canada. It’s a totally made up title that nobody voted to bestow upon me. Hey I don’t make the rules.
Wow…what a true statement:
“A pontificating pretense that elites and globalists should determine the outcomes and values for the rest of the world.
Together both Europe and Canada convey a mindset and worldview that organizes fabricated problems to keep control of their populations.”
“Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall” Proverbs 16:18 (may it be so)
The EU doesn’t need yet another piglet feeding on its teats. It can’t afford the piglets it already has.
I hope Trump’s people get the agreement with Mexico done quickly and then he can give official notice to Canada about being cut-loose. Realville needs to hit them like a freight train…..
Carnage will soon find out the only bigger grifter (outside of China) on the planet is the EU.
At no point in its existence has the EU ever complied with any laws or treaties. Why would they break with tradition now?
I’m just as giddy as Ursula fond dov Lyin and Carnevil about this move.

Brussels sprouts and Canadian bacon.
Have a big pan of bacon cooking right now and it is American .. 🙂
Brussel sprouts?
Had to look it up. Brussels is correct. 🙂
God bless

This is rather remarkable.
In 2021, her majesty, Queen Elizabeth of England appointed Mary Simon to serve as Governor General of the Canadian Territory.
In 2025, the Liberal Party selected Mark Carney to lead their party in 2025. He had not held any elected federal office position before being selected as their party leader. Mary Simon, the Governor General, appointed Mark Carney to be Prime Minister of Canada.
Ursula von der Leyen was nominated by the European Council in 2019 to be President of the European Commission. The European Parliament elected her by secret ballot. She received 401 votes.
Neither Ursula Von der Leyen nor Mark Carney attained their office through popular vote by citizens of their respective lands.
Prime Minister Carney has requested Associate Member status for Canada with the European Union. President Von der Leyen has agreed this consensual relationship. Neither the citizens of Canada nor the citizens of Europe voted for this.
Brussels may very well decide that a value-added tax (VAT) on Canadian goods is appropriate to support the EU.

And, like the Union Jack, the Canadian Maple Leaf will be canceled. The subjects of the Crown had better start standing up.
Carney = Scrat
Ass. EU Membership = the acorn Scat chases.
EU Member Countries = Nut Heaven
Vonder Lying channeling her inner Hitler
History repeats if history is not taught. I graduated in 1978, and was self taught about WW2.
When suggested we join the thriving US as a 51st state…”Hell no!! Sovereignty blahblahblah” When asked to join a failing UE that countries are leaving?….”Sign us up”. There goes Canadian sovereignty.
I owned a vacant lot for many decades (now sold) and when I paid the early dues to the Lake Association, I always abbreviated association like this…………… Canada is the first “Ass. Member” of the European Union.
“yearly” dues
A plastic trophy when turned over says “Made in Chy-na”
Great, our neighbor is a euroweenie.
♪♪ Oh, Canaduh, glorious and ????♪♪
So the EU tasked Carney with going over to Canada, taking over its government and bringing the entire thing to within the walls of the Euro curtain?
Btw, aren’t Walmart employees called “associates”?
The green goblin is jumping up and down over there going “me too me too, what about me?”
Nothing real will come out of it. It’s would take 5+ years minimum to legislate a new eu status.
Carney and Ursula von Frankenstein, share that one thought,one view ,most of those stupid liberal communist do,OH CANADA
We must start building a northern wall similar to the southern wall else we will start being overrun by illegal Canaliens.
When your irrelevant, you do not know it. Same thing when your stupid.
What’s just as telling is that Von der Leyen is so smug and elitist that she makes decisions for the EU without even consulting the other members of the EU. If nothing else, this should be an issue that they bring up in their October meeting. If the current members of the EU do not have standing in the decisions that this dying bloc makes, what’s the point of membership??
Canadians are now beholden to King Charles, Xi and “zee rules based system”.
carney now in possession of a secret decoder ring reminding him to eat his ovaltine
This is roughly the equivalent of New York State joining the WTO
I kind of think canada is going to have a hard time dealing with ‘their’ country being a 3rd world craphole. Like africa, everyone stealing from you then buying the land and moving people off of it to make room for more settlements of foreign borne peoples claiming first nation status, well because the color of their skin of course. he canadians with be living the euroturds dream, you will own nothing and be happy!
Thanks for the memories.
Good bye and thanks for all the fish. Aye.
Globalist Carney was placed in the Prime Minister’s office for this exact purpose. Oppose President Trump and join Canada to the sinking EU.
“We share an ocean”.
I don’t know why but out of all the fatuous, performative nonsense, that one really makes me laugh.
Sounds like it should be a line from Trailer Park Boys.
Parasites don’t often feed off of one another. They’ll both be seeking a host before long.
I suppose this opens the door for Brussels to start shipping their Muslim “immigrant” overflow problem to Canada, which is financially ill-prepared to support them. Those “immigrants” will then attempt to sneak across the largely unguarded border with the US.
Meanwhile, Canada will be attempting to sell Chinese goods into the EU, putting even more European subjects out of work. Obviously, all the EU needs is a service industry … or something like that, eh? As if the EU didn’t already have problems (largely of their own making), they will be circling the drain in no time, now.
