TORONTO - Prime Minister Mark Carney has stated that Canada is not aiming to join the European Union, but is seeking a "unique alliance" with the economic bloc. Carney addressed concerns raised in a Wall Street Journal report about Canada potentially becoming an "associate member" of the EU. During a Toronto International Film Festival event, Carney emphasized that Canada will engage in discussions with the EU based on shared values, priorities, and strengths.
