Welcome to episode 82 of The 5-Minute Investor Podcast, where Stockhouse columnists Jonathon Brown and me, Trevor Abes, each deliver a 2.5-minute profile on stocks related to recent investment news.
This week, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen floating the idea of Canada becoming the EU’s first associate member, in a bid to deepen defense, energy and critical mineral ties amid strained US relations, it’s worth examining Canadian companies uniquely positioned to strengthen the EU’s industrial base, whether or not the associate member category is ever formally defined and Canada is included within it.
