Carney telling the European Parliament that what's needed is an alliance - his word, repeated - where nobody gets to tell the EU and Canada what to do.

Good *LORD*.

And met with a standing ovation.

Well, that's that for the previously-existing form of Atlanticism, then.

Canada becoming EU 'associate member' would be positive move, Carney says

The PM says Canada having closer EU links would also make it a more "effective partner" of the US, adding no-one will tell his country who it can strike agreements with.
