Boqortooyada Midowday iyo Canada: Xiriirka cusub ee Yurub iyo su'aasha xuduudaha Midowga

Booqashada Ra'iisul Wasaaraha Canada ee Strasbourg ayaa iftiimaysa dood ku saabsan saaxi bnimada gaarka ah

Ra'iisul Wasaaraha Canada Mark Carney wuxuu badhtamaha Sebtembar ku imaanayaa Strasbourg si uu uga hadlo golaha baarlamaanka Midowga Yurub. Tan iyo usbuucii la soo dhaafay Canada waxay dagaal ganacsi kula jirtaa Maraykanka. Madaxweynaha Baarlamaanka Yurub Roberta Metsola ayaa booqashada ku tilmaantay 'fursad lagu qoto dheereynayo xiriirka EU-Canada iyo xoojinayo xiriirkeena'.

Taageerada dadweynaha iyo caqabadaha juqraafiga

Sida laga soo xigtay ra'yi ururin ay sameysay Nanos Research bishii Abriil, 28% dadka Canada waxay taageerayaan xubinimada buuxda ee Midowga Yurub, halka 29% ay 'xoogaa' u taageerayaan. Qodobka 49-aad ee Heshiiska Midowga Yurub wuxuu leeyahay 'waddan kasta oo Yurub ah oo ixtiraamaya qiyamka ku xusan qodobka 2-aad oo u go'an kor u qaadista iyaga ayaa codsan kara xubinimada Midowga'.

Sanadkii 1987-kii, Bulshooyinka Yurub waxay diidaan codsiga xubinimada Morocco iyagoo ku dooday in waddanku yahay mid Afrikaan ah oo aan Yurub ahayn. Turkey waxay leedahay qiyaastii 5% dhulkeeda oo ku yaal Yurub, inta kaleyna ku taal Aasiya. Tani waxay muujinaysaa xaddiga juqraafiga ee xubinimada Midowga.

Isku dhafka qiyamada iyo tusaalaha UK

Canada waxay tahay xubin aan Yurub ahayn oo kaliya ah oo NATO ah, iyadoo Maraykanku la jiro. Bishii May ee la soo dhaafay, Carney wuxuu Armenia ku tagay kulankiisii ugu horreeyay ee Bulshada Siyaasadda Yurub. Bishii Janaayo ee la soo dhaafay, hadalkiisii Davos wuxuu yiri 'Awoodaha dhexe waa inay si wada jir ah u dhaqaaqaan sababtoo ah haddii aan miiska joogno, waannu miiska ku jirnaa'.

Eric Maurice oo ka tirsan Xarunta Siyaasadda Yurub ayaa yiri Canada waa 'waddan transatlantic United Kingdom oo la mid ah Yurub: waddan aan xubin ka ahayn Midowga Yurub, laakiin aan la wadaagno bulsho dhab ah oo danaha iyo qiyamada'. Ka dib Brexit, UK iyo EU waxay sameeyeen heshihkii ugu weynaa ee ganacsi iyo iskaashi ee aan canshuur iyo qooto lahayn.

Soo jeedinta saaxi bnimada gaarka ah

Sandro Gozi wuxuu Euronews u sheegay in 'nidaamka juqraafiga ee cusub uu arrinta ka dhigay mid lama huraan ah'. Wuxuu aaminsan yahay in 'sii kordheysa, haddii aan eegno UK ama Norway – oo qayb ka ah suuqa keliga ah – iyo hadda Canada, waxaa jira baahi loo qabo horumarinta noocyo cusub oo urur iyo iskaashi gaar ah'.

Gozi wuxuu soo jeediyay in EU ay tixgeliso 'saaxi bnimo gaar ah' Canada oo ay ku jirto wada hadal siyaasadeed oo la xoojiyay. Wuxuu yiri 'Mustaqbalka Midowga Yurub waa inuu noqdaa hoggaamiye dhisa isbahaysiyada dimuqraadiyadda'. Maillard wuxuu xusay in helitaanka suuqa keliga ah uu ka dhigan yahay in Canada ay u hoggaansanto sharciga Yurub iyada oo aan lahayn cod.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to visit Strasbourg in mid-September, marking a significant step in Ottawa's growing alignment with the European Union as trade tensions with the United States reshape global alliances.

A Historic Diplomatic Move

Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend the State of the Union address by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and address the EU's parliamentary assembly in Strasbourg. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola described the visit as an opportunity to deepen EU-Canada ties and strengthen the bond between the two nations.

This diplomatic outreach comes as Canada has been waging a trade war against the United States since last week, a move that could push Ottawa closer toward European cooperation. The visit signals a potential shift in Canada's foreign policy priorities amid changing global dynamics.

The Question of Membership

The idea of Canadian EU membership remains a topic of debate, with a poll by Nanos Research showing that 28% of Canadians support full membership while 29% somewhat support it. However, Article 49 of the Treaty on European Union requires applicants to be a European state, raising geographical and legal questions about Canada's eligibility.

Experts note that the EU is fundamentally regional, with past rejections of Morocco and Turkey's applications highlighting the geographical constraints. Sebastien Maillard of the Jacques Delors Institute emphasized that a Canadian in Vancouver feels far from Europe, underscoring the challenges of expanding the bloc's scope.

Exploring New Partnership Models

Italian MEP Sandro Gozi suggested that the EU should consider a special association status with Canada, including enhanced political dialogue and joint defence work. He argued that the new geopolitical order makes this issue unavoidable, drawing parallels with the UK and Norway's relationships with the EU.

Eric Maurice of the European Policy Center compared Canada to a transatlantic United Kingdom, noting shared values and interests despite non-membership. Gozi concluded that the EU's future lies in forging new alliances among democracies, reflecting a broader strategic vision for the bloc.
