Mark Carney told the European Parliament that closer ties with the bloc would ensure no one could control Canada's markets or undermine its sovereignty. Earlier this year at the World Economic Forum, Carney urged so-called 'middle powers' to act together to limit the effects of coercive actions by more powerful states.
