Your messages...

Today on Scott Fox After 9, Scott breaks down Mark Carney's speech to the European Parliament and what his proposed new relationship with Europe could mean for Canada. Despite previously distancing himself from the idea of Canada becoming an associate member of the EU, Carney's speech outlined a much deeper relationship with Europe than he originally let on.

Scott asks the big question: What would this new arrangement allow Canada and the EU to do that we cannot already do? Canada already has a free trade agreement and extensive defence cooperation with Europe, so what changes now?

Breaking news dominates today's episode as the European Union proposes making Canada its first-ever "associate member."

Scott digs into the questions Canadians should be asking. Is Canada giving up some of its sovereignty to Europe instead of America? Will Canadian tax dollars be sent to the EU?
