Your Thoughts? President Donald Trump has announced an agreement with Greenland, in which the U.S. will take permanent control of the Arctic island’s security.

“I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday evening.

Your Thoughts? Should opposition leaders be expected to take questions from reporters after major party meetings, or is a public speech enough?

The Conservative leader delivered opening remarks to caucus on Wednesday but did not take questions from reporters during the two-day gathering. On Thursday, media waiting near an exit did not get an opportunity to question him before the party confirmed he had left.

The retreat comes ahead of Parliament's return and after a summer that included public debate within conservative circles about the party's direction. Poilievre used his public address to focus on affordability, Canadian sovereignty and what he described as putting the national interest ahead of party politics.

Canada's proposed new relationship with Europe will ultimately go before Parliament. Prime Minister Mark Carney says MPs will debate and vote on the final structure of the Canada–EU alliance now being developed.

The proposal could involve deeper cooperation on trade, defence, critical minerals, energy and AI, as well as expanded opportunities for young Canadians to live, work and study in Europe.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has raised the possibility of Canada becoming the EU's first “associate member,” although what that status would actually mean has not yet been defined.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will not allow another country to dictate its language, culture or international partnerships.

His comments followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of “serious tariffs” against the European Union if Canada becomes an EU “associate member.”

Carney defended the developing Canada–EU relationship as positive, arguing that a stronger and more resilient Canada would also be a better partner for the United States. However, the proposed associate-membership status remains undefined. No agreement has been finalized, and its potential rules, costs and benefits are still unknown.

Do you support Carney’s response, or could confronting Trump increase the economic risk for Canada?

Your Thoughts? Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to provide more details about Canada’s proposed closer alliance with the European Union.

Poilievre says Conservatives support strong trade and NATO defence relationships with Europe, but argues that Canadian control over taxation, domestic laws and immigration must be protected.

His statement follows European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s proposal for Canada to become the EU’s first “associate member.” The proposed relationship is still being defined. No final agreement, and no plan requiring Canada to adopt EU taxes, laws or open-border policies—has been announced.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Europe wants to open the door for Canada to become an "associate member" of the European Union.

In her state of the union address, she said the two must "urgently reimagine" their partnership, and move beyond just a free-trade agreement.

"I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to be the first associate member of the EU," von der Leyen said Wednesday, drawing a standing ovation.

Carney then nodded, rose from his seat, approached von der Leyen and embraced her. He briefly waved to the chamber before returning to his seat.

"We share one ocean, one set of values, one way of seeing the world," she added. "And we will now build our shared future as well — thank you for being here."

Your Thoughts? Would private operation improve Canada’s airports, or make flying more expensive?

Prime Minister Mark Carney wants private investors to help operate Canada’s four largest airports: Toronto Pearson, Montréal, Calgary and Vancouver.

Ottawa says it would retain ownership of the land and airport assets while offering private operators long-term concessions. The government argues that new capital and expertise could support airport expansion, and free up federal resources for regional airports and local infrastructure.

Supporters see an opportunity to modernize major airports. Critics worry private operators could increase passenger fees and weaken public accountability.

Your Thoughts? The European Parliament is opening a new office in Ottawa as Prime Minister Mark Carney pushes for a deeper Canada-EU relationship.Carney says Canada is not seeking EU membership, but wants to explore the most ambitious partnership possible short of joining the bloc.

Smart diversification away from the U.S., or is Canada moving too close to Europe?

Ottawa is rolling out the red carpet for major investors. Investors committing $1 billion or more to Canada will get priority access to the CRA’s Advance Income Tax Rulings program, giving them binding clarity on how tax laws will apply before they put their money into a project.

The announcement comes as Prime Minister Mark Carney hosts global investors in Toronto for Canada’s first Investment Summit, part of a broader push to generate $1 trillion in investment over five years.

Supporters could argue that major projects need certainty before billions are committed. Critics may question whether Canada is creating one level of CRA service for major investors and another for everyone else.

,What do you think, smart way to attract investment, or should every Canadian business get the same priority?
