Canada is in advanced talks with the European Union to join the bloc’s new project to expand its military industry, a move that would allow Canada to be part of building European fighter jets and other military equipment at its own industrial facilities.

The budding defense cooperation between Canada and the European Union, which is racing to shore up its industry to lower reliance on the United States, would boost Canada’s military manufacturers and offer the country a new market at a time when its relationship with the United States has become frayed.

Shaken by a crisis in the two nations’ longstanding alliance since President Trump’s election, Canada has started moving closer to Europe. The military industry collaboration with the European Union highlights how traditional U.S. allies are deepening their ties without U.S. participation to insulate themselves from Mr. Trump’s unpredictable moves.

      This is why I voted for him and donated to his campaign to lead the liberals and I have zero regrets.

      I’m also going to be donating to the upcoming federal election, which I’ve never done before.

        Same. If I imagine living through this with PP instead of Carney, how much money and stress and potential losses that’s gonna cost, it makes it clear that the cash I can spare for trying to get Carney elected could be well worth it.
