theglobeandmail.com [$]

Canada and France will share space-launch systems and satellite data reception facilities, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Sunday after meeting French President Emmanuel Macron on Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. The meeting on the French archipelago off Newfoundland was a show of solidarity against U.S. President Donald Trump's annexation threats. Carney said the partnership is central to Canada's broader relationship with Europe, coming days after Canada was offered EU associate membership. The leaders also discussed climate change cooperation, including plans to relocate the low-lying village of Miquelon due to rising seas. The visit marked the first official trip by a Canadian prime minister to the territory.
