As Carney takes to the podium a (far right, judging by the side of the chamber) Member of the 🇪🇺Parliament chants "USA, USA". The room reacts with groans. Carney laughs. He begins his speech in French.

“We are not fairweather allies," 🇨🇦PM Carney tells the 🇪🇺Parliament. "We do not pursue zero sum deals. Our commitment to the rule of law and our unyielding defence of human dignity, individual freedom and democracy share the same deep roots, the same unwavering dedication."

🇨🇦PM Carney: "Canada and Europe are not bound by Geography, even though our Danish friends know we share a 3,000 km border in the Arctic." "We are bound by an elective affinity - chosen, renewed and stronger for being so."

🇨🇦PM Carney: "This is about sovereignty - our ability to live as we wish. It’s about the freedoms we must fight for every day. Because sovereignty requires resilience. The ability to withstand shocks."
