> Canada and the European Union closed their Montreal summit by outlining an “Alliance for the Future,” with plans for closer cooperation on trade, critical minerals, energy, defence and AI.

A University of Ottawa representative says greater independence would give Canada more leverage in negotiations with the U.S.
