Yeah, fuck that dusty bitch.
European Union invites Canada to become first ever โassociate memberโ
Canada has been invited to become the first โassociate memberโ of the EU by the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen.
In an unprecedented offer, von der Leyen said on Wednesday that the EU and Canada โsee the world with the same eyesโ through shared democratic values and common approaches to many big issues, from AI to climate breakdown, the Ukraine war and geopolitics.
Speaking in the presence of the Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, at the European parliament in Strasbourg, she said: โWe want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. We must urgently reimagine our partnerships. So, I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to be the first associate member of the EU.โ
