The European Parliament has formally consented to Canada's participation in the EU's €150-billion Security Action for Europe programme. The agreement is now fully binding, making Canada the only non-European country with preferential access to SAFE procurement.
Bullshit. Canada is further left than the majority of EU members. Canada is as left as pre-AFD Germany.
Examples?..
Left wing causes like legal weed, reducing tax breaks for foreign real estate investment, QC/BC as a voting block, the country as a whole also tends towards Western European ideals of stability and living conditions. Canada will never be as left wing as Malta, Portugal, or Barcelona, but there’s no need to make that the expectation for EU membership.
