Canada and the European Union are moving toward deeper economic and security cooperation as uncertainty surrounding Washington's policies pushes both sides to diversify their partnerships. Could discussions at the Montreal summit about granting Canada an associate EU membership status mark a historic shift in transatlantic relations and the global balance of power? In World Talks, Garry Keller, Vice President at StrategyCorp, argues that amid growing uncertainty from the U.S., it is only natural for Canada to look for partners beyond its traditional relationship with Washington. At the same time, he stresses that Canada and the United States remain deeply integrated economically and have been closely linked through trade for decades. In his view, closer ties with Brussels are not a silver-bullet solution, as the European Union remains a complex partner with significant regulatory and bureaucratic challenges. Join Ashim Kumar and his guest as they discuss Canada's search for new partners, the future of EU-Canada relations, and whether a changing global order is reshaping traditional alliances.
