Canada has no plans to become a member of the European Union. This was stated by the country's Prime Minister Mark Carney, reports UNN with reference to the Canadian news service CBC.
Details
According to him, Canada is focused on close partnership and cooperation with the bloc, not on joining the EU.
The short answer is no, it is not part of our intentions, we are not going that way
He emphasized that Canada plans to develop close cooperation with the European Union, while joining the EU does not correspond to the country's long-term strategic priorities, and therefore it is not worth talking about membership in the bloc.
