Marc Carney's recent proposal to make Canada an associate member of the European Union is both alarming and concerning. As a concerned Canadian, I felt compelled to speak out after hearing this plan, which contradicts the very reason many voted for him. Marc Carney was elected on the promise of strengthening our trade relations with the United States, yet this proposal threatens to take us in the opposite direction.

The European Union, now grappling with its own internal struggles and economic challenges, is not a regime we should be aligning with at the cost of our invaluable trading relationship with the United States. Over 90% of Canadian exports and imports are interconnected with the U.S., reflecting how critical this partnership is to the livelihood of millions of Canadians.

By diverting focus from a robust U.S. trade deal, we put our economy and citizens at risk of instability. Marc Carney's plan to associate Canada with the EU fails to address our needs and priorities, raising questions about accountability and respect for the mandate given to him by the electorate.

This petition seeks to hold Marc Carney accountable: he must prioritize and deliver on his promise of solidifying a beneficial trade agreement with the United States. It's imperative we remind him that his electoral victory was won on the basis of enhancing Canada-U.S. trade relations.

Let's urge our government to reconsider this proposal, emphasizing the importance of negotiating a favorable deal with the United States first. Your support in signing this petition will show our collective resolve to protect our national interests and ensure our economy continues to thrive.
