Mark Carney’s speech to the European Parliament should set off alarm bells across Canada, and the West in particular. In it, Carney praised the European Union’s (EU) power to impose rules and standards “that the world frequently adopts,” otherwise known as the “Brussels Effect.” While intended as a compliment, Alberta and Saskatchewan should hear it as a threat and ask: Is closer integration necessary, and what are its implications?
But it would be good for Carney.
