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...
Despite His Shaky French, Canada’s Prime Minister Is a Hit in Quebec
Voters are overlooking Mark Carney’s linguistic gaffes and lack of knowledge about the French-speaking province, viewing him as the most capable candidate to deal with President Trump.

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's new PM flies to Paris to visit Macron on Monday. It is significant that he is going to Europe rather than Washington for his first foreign trip.

ICYMI here is my opinion piece on why it is imperative that Canada and the EU work together

#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

This would be a good time for our European friends to fully ratify the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) that was signed in October 2016 and has been provisionally applied since September 21, 2017 Canada 🇨🇦 🇪🇺
