canada looks to the europeans to build a better world...

The “woke, decadent” EU is not facing a decline regardless of what critics say, and some people, including nearly half of Canadians, “still want” to join it, the bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has claimed.

Kallas made the remarks at the Munich Security Conference on Sunday, as she urged the bloc to “reclaim agency”and seek a “stronger role in the world.”She dismissed concerns that the EU may be facing an “erasure” altogether, hitting out at unnamed critics.

“Contrary to what some may say, woke, decadent Europe is not facing civilizational erasure. In fact, people still want to join our club. And not just fellow Europeans. When I was in Canada last year, I was told that over 40 percent of Canadians have an interest in joining the EU!” Kallas insisted.

While the bloc’s top diplomat did not elaborate, she apparently referred to a poll conducted by Abacus Data last March, which indicated that some 44% of Canadians were in favor of joining the EU. The survey, which sampled opinions of some 1,500 Canadian adults, also indicated the majority of respondents viewed the EU as the country’s most important partner in the next three to five years.

The idea of building closer ties with the EU has been favored by the Canadian authorities as well, with Prime Minister Mark Carney proclaiming the country’s people have a “natural affinity” with Europe. 

“As the most European of the non-European countries, Canada looks first to the European Union to build a better world,” Carney said last June. 

The friendly rhetoric towards the EU has been coming from the Canadian leadership amid the attacks from US President Donald Trump, who repeatedly signaled his intent to annex the country. Trump has accused Ottawa of being subsidized by Washington for decades, insisting that it should become the “cherished”51st state of the US. Canadian leaders have firmly rejected the annexation idea, while opinion polls indicated that it was also extremely unpopular among the public. A YouGov poll held last spring suggested that up to 77% of Canadians firmly rejected the potential incorporation of their country into the US.

December 27, 2025 Halifax, Nova Scotia  

Today, Prime Minister Carney welcomed President Zelenskyy to Halifax, marking the President’s second visit to Canada this year. Ukraine is at the frontline of the struggle between democracy and authoritarianism. Their meeting comes at a crucial point in this horrific war – a time when the combined efforts and might of the United States, Ukraine, European allies, and Canada are creating the conditions for a just and lasting peace.

Since Russia’s unprovoked, unjustified, full-scale invasion, Canada has provided nearly $22 billion in multifaceted assistance for Ukraine, including over $12 billion in direct financial support – making Canada among the largest contributors to Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction. As the Ukrainian people endure another winter of Russian aggression, Canada remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine.

Building on Canada’s strong support for Ukraine, the Prime Minister today announced new measures to support a just and lasting peace. Canada is announcing an additional $2.5 billion commitment for Ukraine, including:

  • Financing that will enable the International Monetary Fund to lend Ukraine an additional $8.4 billion as part of an extended financing program;
  • Canada’s participation in extended and expanded debt service suspension for Ukraine, for up to $1.5 billion in 2025-26;
  • A loan guarantee of up to $1.3 billion in 2026 to the World Bank’s International Bank for Reconstruction and Development to support Ukraine’s reconstruction; and
  • A loan guarantee of up to $322 million in 2026 to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to support Ukraine’s gas imports and reinforce its energy security.

In Halifax, Prime Minister Carney and President Zelenskyy held a bilateral meeting to discuss the latest developments in ongoing peace talks. The Prime Minister affirmed Canada’s full support for Ukraine.

The Prime Minister and the President also participated in a call with European leaders to advance joint efforts for Ukraine’s security and recovery. Through the Coalition of the Willing and other partnerships, Canada is working to secure a just and lasting peace that reunites children with their families, fortifies Ukraine’s forces, builds prosperity for the Ukrainian people, and deters Russia from ever again threatening the peace and security of Ukraine or Europe.

Quote

“When I stood with President Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Ukraine’s Independence Day this year, I made clear that Canada will stand with Ukraine throughout this horrific war and when peace finally comes. To those ends, Canada has committed new support to Ukraine, not only to help end this war, but also to help the Ukrainian people recover and rebuild. Canada stands with Ukraine, because their cause – freedom, democracy, sovereignty – is our cause.”

The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada

 

=======================

MEANWHILE AT THE JERUSALEM POST [A BIBI FOGHORN]:

In recognizing Palestinian statehood, Canada has betrayed Israel - opinion

The latest statement issued by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is seen by some as an abandonment of Canada’s traditional support for Israel.

AUGUST 12, 2025

One reads with amazement and disbelief the latest statement issued by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney after his July 30 discussion two weeks ago with the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas.

Can this really be a leader of a serious country who is genuinely aware of the realities of the Middle East, or is it perhaps someone who is cleverly paying lip service to a redundant, powerless, and autocratic Palestinian leader?

Or perhaps could this be a message intended by Carney and his colleagues to assuage and mollify the uncontrollable pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel lobby both in Ottawa as well as in the streets of Toronto, Montreal, and other cities in Canada that is slowly but surely undermining the integrity and internal security of Canadian society?

The message relayed by Carney to Abbas is devoid of any vestige of reality. This, for the following reasons:

Two-state vision – not of the two peoples

• Prime Minister Carney reaffirmed “Canada’s commitment to a two-state solution – an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.”

This “two-state vision” may indeed have been an honorable vision of hope enunciated many years ago in 2002 by former US president George W. Bush and reiterated ad infinitum since then and up to the present day, as a meaningless form of lingua franca by international leaders and UN resolutions.

However, this two-state vision has never been accepted by the Palestinians and Israelis themselves. To the contrary, the Palestinians have refused to recognize Israel’s very right to exist independently, and the issue of Palestinian statehood remains, pursuant to the agreed-upon and still valid 1993-5 Oslo Accords, an open negotiating issue between Israel and the Palestinian leadership.

Therefore, in paying lip-service to the ‘two-state vision’ Carney is rehashing nothing more than wishful thinking without understanding what practicalities lie behind that expression.

UN recognition – of what and so what

• The prime minister’s declared intention to “recognize the State of Palestineat the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025” is a further indication of utter naivete and sheer ignorance.

He is surely well advised by his advisers and by Canada’s world-renowned international lawyers that there exists no such entity as a “State of Palestine.”

By the same token, he is presumably advised that UN General Assembly resolutions recognizing anything have no legally binding status and are nothing more than the political viewpoints of those states supporting them.

As such, in voicing his intention to recognize a non-existent state of Palestine, Carney is merely pulling the wool over the eyes of those wishing to believe what he is saying.

Palestinians' empty commitments

• In predicating his intention to recognize a “State of Palestine” on “the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to much-needed reforms, including… commitments to fundamentally reform its governance, to hold general elections in 2026 in which Hamas can play no part, and to demilitarize the Palestinian state,” the prime minister is surely fully aware of the fact that Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas made the same commitments in the Oslo Accords, commitments that to this day have not been realized and have been continuously violated, together with most of the Palestinian commitments in those accords.

In welcoming Abbas’s “renewed commitment to these reforms,” Carney is knowingly deceiving both himself and the Canadian people by paying valueless lip service to empty commitments that no leader of the Palestinian Authority is able and genuinely willing to implement.

Canada’s empty commitments

• In informing the president of the Palestinian Authority that Canada will “increase its efforts to promote peace and stability in the region, and work closely with regional allies toward this goal,” Carney is voicing a totally empty, meaningless, and misleading commitment.

Joining such regional allies as France, Russia, the UK, Norway, Ireland, Spain, and others – in ganging-up against Israel in the United Nations and unilaterally recognizing a non-existent Palestinian state – undermines the Oslo Accords – and the Palestinian commitment to negotiated resolution of the conflict. It also undermines the obligation of the very states that signed the Oslo Accords as witnesses to maintain the integrity of the accords.

As such, the prime minister’s promise to Mahmoud Abbas is the very antithesis of promoting peace. It encourages the Hamas terrorist leadership and their PA partners in their stubborn refusal to free the Israeli hostages, and in their determination to continue their terror campaign against the Jewish state. And it encourages the other states in the UN, as well as the international public, in their continued hostility to Israel and their overall antisemitism.

With this irresponsible statement, as well as the policies that it describes, Carney has blatantly abandoned Canada’s traditional support for Israel – a support that has consistently been based on a solid commonality of political, security, economic, and cultural interests between Ottawa and Jerusalem.

Indeed, former prime minister Stephen Harper declared in 2014 in the Knesset that Canada will always have Israel’s back: “Through fire and water, Canada will stand with you.”

Regrettably, and to the contrary, Canada under Prime Minister Carney – and his predecessor Justin Trudeau – has stabbed Israel in its back and continues to do so.

One may ask if this ill-advised policy really serves the genuine interests of Canada, its society, and people. This begs the question of whether the damage that has been caused will ever be repaired.
