EPC just keeps expanding its definition of 'Europe', huh? First UK, now Canada. What's next, Australia?

It's more about like-minded democracies pooling influence. Common values, NATO alignment. Smart hedge against certain *unpredictable* allies.

Honestly, good for Canada. Gotta have allies when the US is a wildcard. Carney's probably been lobbying for this for ages.

Yep. Trump effect in action.
