EU chief Ursula Von der Leyen proposed making Canada the bloc's first associate member on Wednesday (Sep 16) during her annual State of the Union speech, which was attended by Canadian PM Mark Carney.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will address the European Parliament on Thursday after President Donald Trump suggested allowing Canada to become an associate EU member could be a “hostile act” and threatened additional tariffs on Europe.

EU commission president Ursula von der Leyen offered unprecedented 'associate member' status of the bloc to Canada on Wednesday. But what could this mean in practice?

The proposed stronger partnership between Brussels and Ottawa is not directed against anyone else, says the EU Commision.

Canada has formally applied to join the British-led Joint Expeditionary Force after talks between Mark Carney and Andy Burnham in northern England. The move underlines Ottawa's push to widen defence ties in Europe while working more closely with the UK on security initiatives.

Canadian prime minister says he welcomes “ambition” of European Commission president’s idea in speech in EU Parliament.

Tánaiste Simon Harris praised the ambition of the address, but Irish MEPs raised concerns over Gaza, neutrality and the cost of living, while welcoming plans for closer ties with Canada and tougher online safety rules.

European Commission president says she wants to “build global coalitions for our resilience and democracies.”

Canada’s JEF application follows an earlier British invitation to join the defence group that Ottawa declined in 2014. The proposed EU “associate member” status could also open cooperation with Canada on defence, critical minerals, energy, AI, quantum technology and Arctic projects.
