Canada-Europe security and defence pact to be signed Monday in Brussels

OTTAWA - A security and defence partnership pact Prime Minister Mark Carney will sign with European leaders in Brussels on Monday will be among the most wide-ranging agreements with a third country Europe has ever reached, a senior EU official said on Friday. Carney is flying to Europe Sunday for a Canada — EU Summit, planned for Monday evening with European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. At the G7 summit in Alberta on Monday von der Leyen confirmed that the agreement will be signed on Monday in Brussels, calling Canada a 'key partner.' 'This is also a moment where we can strengthen Canada's role in Europe's rapidly evolving defence architecture,' said Von der Leyen on June 16. In a briefing to Canadian and European reporters on Friday, a senior European official said there will be two main outcomes from the summit — a joint statement that expresses views on global issues, such as conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as the signing of the 'EU Canada Security and Defence Partnership Agreement.' 'This is an ambitious one,' the official said. 'And actually we've had this with a number of global partners, but the one with Canada would be one of the most far reaching of its kind that the EU has ever signed with a third country. It will open up new avenues for joint work on crisis management, military mobility, maritime security, cyber and cyber threats, and defence industrial co-operation.' Carney has been clear that he intends to expand Canada's ties with Europe as its relationship with the United States strains under the weight of tariffs and threats of annexation. Within two days of being sworn in as prime minister in March Carney flew to Europe, meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London. It was during those meetings that he seriously began talking about signing on to Europe's new defence procurement plan known as ReArm Europe. In the throne speech on May 27, Carney's government pledged to join that program, and he told the CBC in an interview that same day he expected Canada to do that by July 1. On June 9, Carney announced a massive investment in Canada's defence budget to push Canada above the two per cent of GDP NATO target this country has promised — and failed — to meet for more than a decade. Joining ReArm Europe is part of that plan, with Carney repeatedly saying Canada can no longer put all its defence spending into the U.S. 'We are in close discussions with our European partners to join ReArm Europe,' he said on June 9. 'That will be an element of diversification. That's just smart. It's better to be diversified. It's better to have options. It's better to have different supply chains and broader partners.' The agenda for the summit posted by the European Council says the security and defence procurement agreement will allow Canada to join a European loan program for joint defence projects. That 150-billion euro program — called Security Action for Europe, or SAFE — is part of the ReArm Europe initiative. The EU official said on Friday that once the procurement agreement is in place, Canada will have to negotiate a bilateral agreement with the European Commission to begin discussions with member states about procurement opportunities. Leaders at the EU-Canada summit are also expected to discuss global trade and the wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East. They will also commit to fully ratifying the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, the Canada-Europe free trade agreement known as CETA. Fen Hampson, a professor of international affairs at Carleton University, said Carney also should put the 'pedal to the metal' on ratifying CETA. The deal entered into force provisionally in 2017, but several EU member states still need to ratify CETA at the national level. 'The real challenge there is to get Canadian businesses and also European businesses to take it up … and to start doing more business across the Atlantic, but that also requires political leadership,' Hampson said. 'It hasn't been fully ratified but that's something (Carney) can perhaps impress upon the Europeans.' After Brussels, Carney will travel to The Hague for the NATO leaders' summit, where discussions are expected to push forward on increasing the NATO members' defence spending target as high as five per cent of GDP, from the current two per cent. — With files from Kyle Duggan, Dylan Robertson and The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 20, 2025.

Want to Retire Rich? 3 TSX Stocks to Add to Your Portfolio Now

Written by Sneha Nahata at The Motley Fool Canada Investing in TSX stocks with the ability to deliver above-average returns can help build wealth over time and retire rich. However, when investing for long-term financial goals, consider diversifying your portfolio to add stability and spread risk. Against this background, here are three TSX stocks that could deliver above-average returns and support you to retire rich. Dollarama (TSX:DOL) is a top TSX stock for building wealth for retirement. This Canadian dollar store retail chain consistently performs well in all market conditions, thanks to its value-focused model, and generates above-average returns. By offering everyday essentials and seasonal goods at low fixed prices, Dollarama consistently attracts strong consumer demand. Moreover, its focus on geographic expansion boosts sales and market presence. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Dollarama reported an 8.2% year-over-year increase in sales to $1.5 billion, with same-store sales rising 4.9%. This growth was driven by more customer visits and higher average transaction sizes. The stock has already surged 37.1% this year and has delivered nearly 315% in capital gains over the past five years by growing at an above-average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.9% Additionally, Dollarama has been consistently increasing its dividend since 2011, returning higher cash to its shareholders. Its value pricing strategy, wide product range, partnerships with third-party online delivery platforms, strong supply chain, and expanding geographical footprint will likely drive its earnings, supporting its share price and future dividend payments. 5N Plus (TSX:VNP) is a small-cap stock trading under $10. It manufactures specialty semiconductors and performance materials. These advanced components are vital to booming sectors such as renewable energy and space solar technology, positioning the company to deliver significant long-term returns. Strong demand and its focus on improving margins are enabling 5N Plus to scale profitably. Over the past five years, the stock has delivered a 486.9% return, compounding annually at 42.41%. Its bismuth-based products are gaining traction, and enhanced manufacturing capabilities combined with a robust global supply chain strengthen its outlook. Furthermore, as the demand for ultra-high-purity materials continues to increase, particularly from non-Chinese sources, 5N Plus is emerging as a crucial supplier. Its strong customer relationships, growing global presence, and leadership in niche markets make it a compelling bet for investors seeking long-term growth. Investors planning to retire rich could consider adding Cameco (TSX:CCO) to their long-term portfolios. This leading company in the nuclear energy space provides fuel, technology, and services spanning the full reactor lifecycle. Moreover, its investment in Westinghouse Electric deepens its control over the entire nuclear value chain, positioning it well to deliver reliable, carbon-free energy. With global demand for electricity surging, driven by AI-driven data centers, electrification, and decarbonization efforts, nuclear power is witnessing solid demand, and Cameco is well-positioned to capitalize on it. Thanks to solid secular demand trends, Cameco stock has increased at a CAGR of 47.5% over the past five years, delivering a return of approximately 600%. Looking ahead, its efficient production, strong market presence, and long-term supply contracts offer stability and growth potential. Cameco's expansion plans and exploration projects add further upside. Overall, Cameco's long-term outlook remains solid, making it an attractive investment for investors aiming to retire rich.

EU Frets Over US Demands in Trade Talks It Sees as Unbalanced

The US is demanding the European Union make what the bloc's officials see as unbalanced, unilateral concessions as part of ongoing trade talks, setting up a tough decision over whether to move ahead with countermeasures if the terms of any deal don't improve. The best-case scenario remains an agreement on principles that would allow the negotiations to continue beyond an early July deadline, according to people familiar with the matter.
