Carney’s push for closer EU ties draws criticism over trade ratification

In a September 22, 2026 post, Pierre Poilievre called Carney’s efforts to deepen EU ties “all talk and no results.” He said Carney had failed to get the existing free trade deal ratified by all 27 European countries and criticized a recent meeting with Macron for not securing French ratification. He contrasted the diplomatic push with what he described as people at home being unable to afford groceries, gas and mortgages.
