  "summary": "Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada has stated that the country does not want to become a member of the European Union, but rather seeks to establish a \"unique alliance\" with the bloc. Speaking at a Toronto International Film Festival event, Carney emphasized that Canada will begin discussions with the EU based on shared values, priorities, and strengths. The prime minister also highlighted the increasing danger and division in the world, stating that \"friends need to stick together in these times.\" As Canada's trade war with the United States intensifies, Carney is hosting an investment summit in Toronto this week, attracting potential partners from around the globe.",
