    As a Canadian, I find this unbelievably good news. Canada, the EU, and other middle powers need to unite. Stronger together, while preserving what makes each country unique.

      Are there any tangible economic benefits here? Or is it just a label?

        Europe and Canada are going through a very significant "buy local" phase. If Canadian goods are considered local from the European perspective, that opens up a lot of opportunities.

          Not exactly. The sentiment I see is more like ‘buy anything but USA’.
