Reject EU associate membership
Petitioners ask the Government of Canada to immediately disclose any discussions about joining the European Union as an associate member, reject agreements that cede Canadian sovereignty or impose EU laws, immigration, tax or regulatory policies, and guarantee Canada will not join the EU.
Why we would sign this petition
- Demanding disclosure increases transparency so Canadians can assess any talks about associate membership with the EU.
- Rejecting agreements that cede sovereignty would protect Canadian control over laws, taxes and regulations.
- A formal guarantee against EU membership would prevent adoption of EU immigration policies and preserve border control.
Why we wouldn’t sign this petition
- Forcing immediate disclosure or bans could reduce diplomatic flexibility and hinder negotiations that might benefit Canada.
- The petition treats cooperation as surrendering sovereignty, whereas legal safeguards or parliamentary approval may already limit such risks.
- An absolute ban on joining the EU could foreclose future strategic partnerships or options that might serve Canadian interests.
The summary and both sets of reasons are AI-generated from the petition and given equal weight. Claims are the petitioners’ own; consult the official record for the full text.
Official petition
Petition To the House of Commons in Parliament Assembled We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House to the following: Whereas Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed the European Commission President's proposal for Canada to join the European Union as an "associate member"; Whereas the Carney Liberals have no mandate from Canadians to surrender any part of Canada's sovereignty to the European Union; Whereas Canadians have already endured years of Liberal immigration mismanagement and do not want EU-style open-border policies imposed on Canada or Canadian taxpayer dollars used, directly or indirectly, to fund European Union programs; Whereas Canadians have already endured years of Liberal immigration mismanagement and should not have European Union immigration policies imposed on our country; Whereas Canadian laws, borders, taxes, and regulations must be controlled by Canadians, not European Union politicians and bureaucrats; Whereas Canada is a sovereign nation and will never be the European Union's 28th member state; Therefore, we, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Canada to: 1. Immediately disclose all discussions and proposals concerning Canada's potential associate membership in the European Union; 2. Reject any agreement that would surrender Canadian sovereignty or impose European Union immigration policies, laws, taxes, or regulations on Canadians; and 3. Guarantee that Canada will not become a member of the European Union and that all decisions governing our country remain under Canadian control.
