Summary
Michael Popok argues that Prime Minister Mark Carney is pivoting Canada away from the US and toward the European Union to replace lost trade revenue. He details Carney's strategy to secure billions in global investment and negotiate a unique EU alliance, leveraging Canada's low debt and critical minerals. Popok suggests this move is a strategic response to US isolationism, potentially making Canada an associate EU member.
