US EditionPut down that espresso. Canada doesn’t need to join the EU
- On March 17, Prime Minister Mark Carney and French President Emmanuel Macron met in Paris to discuss the relationship between Canada and the European Union.
- The meeting followed growing tensions between Canada and the U.S. And ongoing efforts to strengthen ties with Europe, including the 2017 Canada-EU Trade Agreement.
- Canada's trade with the EU has increased 65% since 2017, with $44 billion in annual goods exports, while negotiations are underway to shift defense procurement toward Europe.
- A recent survey of 1,500 Canadians found 44% want the government to explore EU membership, though experts say accession under Article 49 is unclear and would take years to resolve.
- Despite interest, political scientists note that Canada's non-European status, required policy alignment, and long enlargement processes make EU membership unlikely, encouraging closer cooperation without legal changes.
