1/4 His roadmap: 1️⃣ Solidarity Pact (w/ EU & UK) 2️⃣ Fully exploit CETA 3️⃣ Reciprocal investments 4️⃣ Join EU-led defense (E-NATO) 5️⃣ Ease movement of people & ideas Canada must diversify or risk deeper US dependence. #CanadaEU #Geopolitics #ECSACanada #Canada #EU

1/3 Mérand’s case: Applying to the EU is a strategic hedge. It signals 🇨🇦 has options, strengthens EU ties & prepares for a post-US world. Even if full membership is unlikely, deepening EU relations boosts 🇨🇦 sovereignty & resilience. www.ecsa-c.ca/post/canada-... #CanadaEU #ECSACanada
