As Americans play ‘power game,’ draft document shows Canada-EU response

A leaked draft for the Canada-EU summit outlines cooperation on critical minerals, digital infrastructure, satellite navigation and disaster response. It proposes Canada seek associated-country status under the EU’s Cloud and AI Development Act, enabling Canadian firms to bid on infrastructure contracts. The sides would also pursue Canadian access to Galileo’s encrypted signal and ease European investment in Canadian minerals. The draft includes a joint purchase of 50 De Havilland water bombers, expected for wildfire use in 2030. The summit is scheduled for Montreal October 29 and 30
