Prime Minister Mark Carney has declared Canada “the most European” nation outside the continent and has identified three foundational “peoples” for Canada — Indigenous, French and British.
Carney chose to make his first trip as prime minister to Europe, seeking to strengthen ties with traditional allies, including France and the United Kingdom, amidst rising tensions between Canada and the United States.
“I want to ensure that France and the whole of Europe works enthusiastically with Canada, the most European of non-European countries,” Carney said Monday. “Canada is a reliable, trustworthy and strong partner for France.”
Carney met with French President Emmanuel Macron, who in turn called Canada a “unique friend” of France. Carney was later pictured with King Charles and is expected to meet with British Prime Minister Kier Starmer on Monday.
After being sworn in Friday, Carney said Canada was built on a “bedrock of three peoples: Indigenous, French and British.” The ceremony, Carney said, evoked the enriching influence of the French language and our British heritage.
Carney, who served as governor of the Bank of Canada and then of the Bank of England before entering electoral politics, has deep ties to Europe. He holds both Irish and British citizenship, although he has moved to renounce citizenship in both countries. Carney was born in Fort Smith, N.W.T., but acquired Irish citizenship as a child and British citizenship when he was running the Bank of England.
About 10 per cent of Canadians hold multiple citizenships, according to Statistics Canada, and multiple recent party leaders have held dual citizenship. (The last prime minister to hold dual citizenship was John Turner during his brief tenure in 1984.)

yes, that’s the point
They are London-Brussels globalist-controlled outpost in North America.
Whatta maroon.
Like “being European “ is something to celebrate.
shocking /s
They speak fluent french, like in Haiti.
Interesting. Most interesting quote since I heard Andrew Young say England invented racism.
These people don’t even know when they are insulting themselves.
Truly a lack of self awareness.
Yeah, as if that’s something to be proud of. What a dope.
In Quebec, they primarily speak Quebec French (français québécois), which is a distinct dialect of French with unique pronunciation, vocabulary, and expressions. It evolved from 17th- and 18th-century French, with influences from Indigenous languages, English, and regional dialects of France. While Quebec French is mutually intelligible with Standard French, it has notable differences, especially in informal speech.
He’s right. But we still love our effete Northerners.
BINGO!
He says that like it’s a good thing.
Canada is the world’s underachiever. I don’t see that ever changing.
They have a severe case of inferiority complex.
I was on an elevator in New York and there was a family speaking French so I talked to them in French (this was 35 years ago so I can’t speak it anymore but can still read it.)
I told them I learned French in Quebec.
They said “Nous sommes de France et parlons un vrai français.”
Means “we are from France and speak real French.”
I thought that was a very rude thing to say about Canadians.
Well, it looks like Canada simply swapped out one incompetent totalitarian regime for another.
We’ll have to keep an eye on Canada. They’re only 20 years behind the UK. We know that the UK is already becoming Islamist. Canada is not that far behind unless they decide to close their borders now.
That’s too bad.
