I confess my first reaction to this story (about Mark Carney's popularity in Quebec) was my gut recognition of the landscape this time of year - with no snow on the ground but no leaves on the trees Canada in April: when winter is over but spring is yet to arrive www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/w...

I'm very pleased that my recent piece on Canada-EU has been re-published by Irish Legal News Events are moving fast! Since this was published, Canada's new PM already made his first foreign visit to Europe (not the US, as is traditional) and is in talks with the EU about deeper defence cooperation

#Canada faces pressure from the US to become its '51st state,' but there's another path: joining the #EU. With shared values and interests, Canada could strengthen ties with Europe to counter the threat of economic coercion. Read more by Dr. @iancooper.bsky.social: bit.ly/3FtrBXX

🚨🚨 Seems insane that this needs to be analysed, but this is a great and very insightful piece by @fedefaziof.bsky.social outlining what would happen in the still hopefully unlikely scenario that Trump would invade Greenland. 🧵 dcubrexitinstitute.eu/2025/01/what...

A very timely argument for Rejoin. Ukraine and the UK can both join the EU -- it is in each of their interests that the other do so as well. There is no "queue" but rather a merit-based system of enlargement. And it could happen more quickly than you think
