Carney says he’s examined ‘extreme’ risk of U.S. military action against Canada

In a recent New York Times interview, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney disclosed that he had examined the potential risks associated with U.S.-led military actions in Canada. However, Carney declined to delve into the specifics of his investigation. This comes amid strained relations between Canada and the U.S., where President Donald Trump has suggested turning Canada into the 51st state with the aid of economic measures.

A poll conducted by Leger between September 19 and 21 reveals that over two-thirds of Canadians support the idea of Canada becoming an associate member of the European Union.

Prime Minister Carney has expressed his support for this goal and anticipates further details on the arrangement during an upcoming Canada-EU summit in Montreal.

However, leaders from other parties, such as Coalition Avenir Québec's Christine Fréchette and Quebec Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime, stated that Quebecers are not interested in a referendum.
