Australia 'on the Same Page' as Canada in Pursuing Deeper EU Alliance, Says Minister The Australian Trade Minister's statement that his country is "on the same page" as Canada regarding a deeper alliance with the European Union has gone largely unnoticed amidst ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the US.
This development, however, is part of a larger trend of countries seeking to diversify their trade relationships and resist protectionist forces sweeping across the globe.
Canada's efforts to establish a unique partnership with the EU have been widely reported, but Australia's decision to publicly align itself with Canada's goals is less clear.
