Mark Carney addresses European Parliament on closer Canada‑EU ties
Canada is building a deeper alliance with the EU so that we may write our own futures — with our values, and our ambitions.

stash1234.bsky.social49Prime Minister Mark Carney ❤️ 🇨🇦
nanalexi.bsky.social31I honestly choked up yesterday when the invitation was made. I’m so proud of our nation for picking the right guy at the right time
Dan 🇨🇦26Thanks, PM. We have much more in common with Europe than we do with the United States. BTW, if you hear what sounds like the lid of a garbage can, it's just Trump rattling his scabbard in search of a saber. #CanadaStrong
You are a hero to the democratic world, Mr. Prime Minister. Thank you for you doing the right things.
Kahler Gordon20Canada, you’re so fortunate to have a Servant Leader, while here in the U.S. we have a convicted felon-sexual-predator-carnival barker with the IQ of a fig leaf fuck over all Americans who aren’t obscenely wealthy.
Canadian 🇨🇦9Did we ever dodge a bullet by the felon mouthing off with the 51st state bullshit. Can you image what shape the country could have been in if the Stornoway Squatter would have become PM?

Jane3THIS IS WHAT LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE.
Reset America2Carney to the EU: "We believe that a strong economy is not an end in itself, but the means to a just society. We are committed stewards of our natural heritage. We believe that our prosperity grows when it is shared."
Mark Carney officially has the highest approval rating in Canadian history
Dr Bluesky39It's easy to be considered a competent leader when your opponents are Donald Trump and Pierre Poilievre
AB Garden Girl 🇨🇦32That’s what happens when we see our Canadian values represented in and by our government.
🇨🇦Kanien'kéha🪶21I know there are a lot of people here in Quebec that like him. 😁
Markwayne Carney ☭18This is more damning of Canadians than it is praising of Carney. Won’t age well
Killntime14War time numbers to be sure, I don't agree with everything he's done but I don't disagree with everything either. Canada is a country that prides its self on being able to get along, to finding compromises that work. We have a PM who is trying his best to represent it, that's also playing a part.
Nick "Big Stretch" Davis13Why though??? I cannot figure out what people are seeing that I'm not. My assumption is they're listening to his words and not following his policy decisions. He's corrupt and far more conservative than Harper.
Mrs. Betty Bowers1385And people say Donald Trump is poll number poison . . .
Dr. Michael MacKay40For one good and very orange reason, there are more Americans wishing they were the 11th province then there are Canadians wanting to be the 51st state.
JayIsPainting 🍁18Nationalism is a blinding light.
Faun Heather Harriman9He was made for such a time as this. What an incredible role model
Andrew M. | Founder & Advisor 🇬🇷 🇺🇸770% of Canadians say they approve of the prime minister. Another reason for Trump to seethe.
Del Wasso6There will be Ketchup on the White House walls tonight. 
Frances Larina3I'm too far left to be an unquestioning Carney fan. But his centrist peers the US Democrats should take notice: It's because he stood up to Trump.
Tom Black3Mark Carney? The central banker? Who’s governor-general, Mervyn King?
Mr Hounsell2Hey Albo, you can stand up to the Americans and be popular. Please try it, you might even like standing up for Australia.
🇨🇦LisaFellarinaAntifa📎2I keep seeing American news stories where they say he has 56% approval, and I thought that wasn’t right. So specific though. It’s 70% you numbskull US media - get it right!
Carney to the EU: "We believe that a strong economy is not an end in itself, but the means to a just society. We are committed stewards of our natural heritage. We believe that our prosperity grows when it is shared." I wish the Carney we hear in speeches was the Carney who governs Canada.
Rachel Gilmore204"We are committed stewards of our natural heritage." (Plans a new oil pipeline, dismantles climate action) "We believe that a strong economy is not an end in itself, but the means to a just society. We believe that our prosperity grows when it is shared." (Privatizes, cuts taxes for corporations)
The Alberta Socialist30It's certainly interesting to say that a powerful economy will result in social justice. Justice for who, exactly?
fordskrackpipe.bsky.social17To those who think 🇨🇦 should not be a member of, or trade with, the EU -with whom we share a border (Denmark/Greenland) -& who would allow us to leave any time we wanted (see Brexit) -& who (unlike the US) have NEVER threatened to annex us: Move to the States so you can go bankrupt from medical debt
Hugo Mathieu10He is, he's just talking to the rich not us.
Ilas🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇲🎵❤️8Rachel you are irrelevant You pick and choose. You sound like you're getting paid from the national post or rebel news ffs We have to be able to fend for ourselves in a respectful manner. Our sovereignty is important so is clean energy We need the whole package. That is what PM is proposing.
sirjamesb.bsky.social7You sound so cup half full. Why? Start interviewing people with sound feedback rather than coming to assumptions without doing so. Be a reporter instead of a media person with flagrant ability to make money without doing proper reporting. Doing reporting is more than using media. Boots on ground.
MondoAB28If only policy was half as great as his speeches. @tindizzy.bsky.social
Stuart Somerville 🏴☠️2Canada has 82 billionaires. You can’t have both billionaires and shared prosperity.
Dizzy ★2He talks a good game, but his words ring hollow. Look at the success Mamdani has achieved in a very short period of time. We could be New York, but Carney’s just playin’. #CanPoli #CdnPoli
If you wish, Mr. Carney's full speech. Well worth listening to .. www.youtube.com/live/fTB6-T9...
Unapologetic Lee 🇨🇦18Not sure why all of this makes me so emotional. And there's also a sense of relief. These are unprecedented times.
tkrause.bsky.social5That’s a pretty incredible display of statesmanship and human decency on an international scale. The contrast with America could not be more extreme and it’s obvious why the era of American supremacy is completely finished.
Sue @ 1000 Islands 🇨🇦3Ty for sharing this, Poppet….
So Over the Conservatives 🇨🇦🍁2Awesome speech!! Thanks for sharing. 😊

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney takes a swipe at Trump, insisting Canada-EU alliance is more than a new geopolitical bloc with "better manners." https://cnn.it/4gYAitF
Mat Germain14It's a recognition that nations are better off when they cooperate. Something the #UnitedStates oligarchs don't understand. They only want dominance.
christina55.bsky.social11Weird that CNN frames it this way. PM Carney never mentioned Trump by name… 🤔
thehoodedclaw.bsky.social7USA no longer regarded as friend so countries have moved on.
John Muller7Why do you assume that's about you? Does your President have bad manners, or something?
Topher Yak3Bully bullies friend. Bully no longer has friend. Friend makes new friends. Bully threatens former friend to be friend again. 🙄
fkamp.bsky.social3It’s quite simple. You don’t do business with a man you can’t trust.
Prime Minister Mark Carney at the European Union 🇪🇺 🇨🇦 Small excerpt from his speech
Visible Cricket 🇨🇦🇮🇪🛶🥾🎿🥌19This legend in a Crosby #TeamCanada sweater patiently waiting to meet the leader of the free world before he addresses the EU Parliament. Anyone know who she is?
Mark McCondach14That "better manners" shade! No SPF could prevent that burn.
Derrick Tully9Trump is going to be very mad at us Canadians and specifically Prime Minister Carney. It was a good speech almost as good as the Davos Speech. I loved how he took indirect swipes at Trump without mentioning him directly. I loved how he stood up against what Trump stands for.
Jerry Chouinard 🍁🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇦🇬🇱🇪🇺🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧9I don't know who the delegate was, but there was a lady wearing a Team Canada hockey jersey ♥️😍
Kookoosint5Just Canada saving democracy. Again. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
SanVanCan4Man - I love this guy!
SoundsKugle 🐝🌅6"We do not seek power to dominate others. On the contrary, we are pursuing resilience so that no one can control our open markets, impair our sovereignty, threaten our territorial integrity, or undermine our freedoms, our democracies, our rule of law." @mark-carney.bsky.social #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦🇪🇺🌎
L Daniel George2A man with a plan! (And manners!)
Trump threatens to stop trading with EU over ‘laughable’ membership offer to Canada. EU: “This is a partnership not against anyone else, but for our common strength.” France: “It is not up to the US to choose the political and geopolitical direction of the Europeans.”
🦋marciebp Be a Dolly 🇨🇦11His bullying hasn’t the same impact there as his bullying here. The EU isn’t CBS or his Senate.
vincent2008.bsky.social6First Trump tells Canada we don't need you.If they walk away he screams "No you can't do that."Bonkers.
Paul5Mr mango Mussolini shit for brains can gfhs
dredecopp.bsky.social2So not with Canada. Not with Europe. Not with China. Who's left?
Dan in the Midwest1The US will just be one more bankruptcy for DJT. Lack of access to Canada's massive raw materials aside, any guess how much precision manufacturing tools and research instruments come from Germany? It's not the kind of shit you can "just make here." Way to crush American manufacturing Republicans.
Joseph Joyal1DJT is a moron he has NO idea regarding trade
PM Mark Carney addresses European Parliament – September 17, 2026 #cdnpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8lU...
Canada’s newly proposed associate membership in the E.U. will help secure sovereignty and freedom for the country amid a “ferocious storm,” Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada told the European Parliament on Thursday.
"Tiger" John3Great idea and implement it quickly and watch the orange clown explode!
bigkeeper13.bsky.social3When you get pushed away you seek safe, predictable, honourable, reliable, stable, sign agreements in pen, fair minded, not “likes to fight” nations to have a relationship with. America voted Trump in twice, and almost another time too. Not so sure he’s an aberration.
LEXO AI1This move could strengthen Canada’s strategic ties with Europe and bolster its autonomy, but will require careful negotiation on trade and regulatory alignment.
Vantage Points1The #U.S., in their iconoclastic view of the world and with a kind of benediction, does not decide on Canada’s trade agreements as they’ve been trying to dictate especially with India and other ASEAN countries. @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social #CanadianPM #MarkCarney #OurCommons #FordNation #NATO #EU
DianeD1#Trump did this 👆. How he go from Canada doesn't do enough to curb drug trafficking, so let's tariff them, to this? #Greed and direct defiance of SCOTUS! #TrumpIsALiar #TrumpRuinsEverything
Rick City3Maybe Trump will demand that US companies stop trading with all of us. Maybe he will... 😆
Anna Busy Bee2Great speech from #MarkCarney the new Leader of the Free World. Europe welcomes Canada. Let's work together as the stable and reliable alliance of democratic countries in the new world order. 💪
if canada can join the EU i think they should find a way to sneak new orleans in there too
Jackson O'Brien8Honestly New Orleans just needs to be an independent city state like Monaco or Singapore. The western hemisphere is sorely lacking in those.
Engineeringdude5can we also throw in Illinois so I can be done with this madness?
Warframe Herzog3going off of my knowledge of the 90s Xmen cartoon, Canadians and Cajuns have irreconcilable differences
Loomin' Onion™3Canada needs a warm water port
Xtreme Abe Lincoln3Anyone with an Acadian ancestor could plausibly apply for Canadian citizenship under recent legal changes, and once a critical mass of New Orleanians are Canadian citizens we do like Russia did in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. In and out in a week, home in time for Christmas
CB2Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Canadian PM Mark Carney addresses the European Parliament, opening in French. He says the response to the "current geopolitical rupture" must include a "new dimension".
Mark Chadbourn184Carney: “Canada and the EU are not fair weather allies, we do not pursue zero-sum deals". Both share the "same unwavering dedication" to the rule of law, human dignity, individual freedom and democracy. “A strong economy is not an end in itself but a means to a just society".
🖐️ DrAlanT 🎬 📚 📎2👁️ The Arctic 🥶 Once Carney visits Denmark in Greenland - expect ketchup walls in Florida and Moscow. 🇨🇦 🇩🇰
Artemis1652He's a very good speech-maker🙏🏻
Trump threatened tariffs over closer Canada-EU ties. France says Washington doesn’t choose Europe’s geopolitical direction; the EU says the partnership isn’t against anyone. Apparently sovereignty travels well. 😏 🔗 Source: www.euronews.com/my-europe/20... ❤️🇪🇺🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🇪🇺❤️
redmist27.bsky.social2Trump is such a baby. He’s just gonna keep going tariff tariff tariff tariff tariff like a toddler having a tantrum.
Tim in Maryland1How can the moron try to be upset that Canada is looking towards the EU as a trade/defense partner? This is what happens when you try to rule the world!🤬💩
abellemare09.bsky.social1That is 1 out of 27 countries, Germany, Denmark, Spain will probably give the same answer but lets wait for the others Hope they all side with us but we never know
Cherry Hayes1Carney is far too intellectual to have to deal with the likes of Trump…that would be a stagnant existence👎🏼
Mark Carney says he supports Canada becoming an associate member of the European Union: "Canada welcomes this ambition." "We should deepen our people-to-people ties, allowing our youth to work, study and live where they want on either side of the Atlantic."
Blue-Eyed Samurai3Well, it's a fairly obvious progression for bothe sides. Canada absolutely flies through all the boxes (✔️) and are not just allies but very dear friends.
5Ws2Goodbye cheap lumber and another trading partner.
Tony Dexter2This a a strong, good intelligent speech. Not just the content and delivery but Trump won't have a clue what's been said and what it mean
Cunctator1A leader for our time. One who needs no trappings of grandeur to shine, nor to have his name engraved anywhere. One who needs no crown to reign. Good intentions, courage, and the knowledge to put them into action, together with good manners, which are never out of place.
Trump responds to the prospect of Canada being an associate member of the EU by threatening tariffs on the EU - as always, echoing the behaviour of bullies/domestic abusers. Obviously this shows contempt for his "deal" with the EU, and if he did it the EU can retaliate.
Dawny B8I’m sure Mr Carney is already three steps ahead of him.
Ben Hudson4"I will punish Canada and the EU by making it even more expensive, risky, tiresome and difficult to trade with me". I can't wait to wake up the morning he doesn't.
Liam Connolly3It's just the most maddening combination of utter stupidity and sheer tedium. The curse was wrong, hell isn't living in interesting times, it's living in these boring, repetitive, utterly moronic times.
Simon1If anyone is being laughed at ....
Mark Carney to EU: "I'm not proposing to become a great power rival only with better manners. We do not seek power to dominate others. We are pursuing resilience so no one can imperil our sovereignty, threaten our territorial integrity, or undermine our freedoms, our democracies, our rule of law."
John Muller8The subtext here of course is that the main country threatening our territorial integrity, undermining our freedoms, democracy, and rule of law, is the United States of America.
AFinRenoFightsBack 🌊2026 🌊2Have I said this before? Well, here it is again... We'll take those Canadian exports, thanks...
