  "account": "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. He noted that the world is becoming more dangerous and divided, and that \"friends need to stick together in these times.\" As trade tensions between Canada and the United States intensify, Carney is hosting an investment summit in Toronto, attracting potential partners from around the globe.",
