Plus, could there be another federal election sooner than expected? Has Pierre Poilievre lost some of his momentum? Would a closer relationship with Europe make it easier for Canadians to live and work there? And one listener is considering moving his business and family to the United States.

Your messages, your questions and plenty for Scott to respond to on today's After 9.

Today on Scott Fox After 9, Scott breaks down Mark Carney's speech to the European Parliament and what his proposed new relationship with Europe could mean for Canada. Despite previously distancing himself from the idea of Canada becoming an associate member of the EU, Carney's speech outlined a much deeper relationship with Europe than he originally let on.

Scott asks the big question: What would this new arrangement allow Canada and the EU to do that we cannot already do? Canada already has a free trade agreement and extensive defence cooperation with Europe, so what changes now?

Scott shares his concerns about where the Prime Minister is taking Canada and gets you caught up on Carney's speech without having to watch the whole thing.
