Canadian Prime Minister Carney said it was time for the country to change its dependence on the US to the European Union: the lesson we, Canadians in general, have learned, and I suspect almost everyone you spoke to would say something similar, is that we are too dependent on the United States, too attached to it. We need to strengthen our capabilities within the country, as well as expand and deepen partnerships with similar countries in the international arena. Now, when we look at the world, we see that our values are most compatible with those of the European Union. Moreover, our strengths complement each other well. That's why this partnership is evolving.
