Clickbait AP headline. He specifically said he wouldn’t use those words or label but wants deep strategic partnership.
Got a link for that claim? I haven’t been able to find that statement anywhere

”Carney and his team have been downplaying the idea of using “associate member” to describe a new partnership since it was first floated in a story in the Wall Street Journal last week that cited unidentified sources.
When asked Thursday about the idea of Canada being an “associate member,” Carney said the “substance” of the agreement is more important than the label.
The prime minister said that Canada isn’t looking to be a full member of the EU and that the final agreement of the alliance would be debated and voted on in Canada’s Parliament.”
Fake news. Canada wouldn’t dare mess with USAs Monroe doctrine. Like trump said, this partnership with EU is laughable and childish
