"Canada and Europe have no choice but to partner up if they don't want to be crushed"

As the American security umbrella and global free trade regime crumble, the EU seeks refuge with Canada, which faces its own challenges. Canada is embroiled in a trade war with the U.S. under President Trump, who exploits its economic dependence. Prime Minister Mark Carney recently withdrew from an agreement that would have compromised Canadian sovereignty. Meanwhile, European partners, having accepted U.S. customs policies for market access, realize they too must unite against hegemonic powers like China, Russia, and the U.S. The upcoming meeting in Montreal aims to strategize for survival, focusing on areas where they still hold influence. However, both Canada and Europe struggle with their limited computational power and energy dependencies, particularly in a world dominated by the U.S. and China.
