The answer, as it often tends to be, is to write to your MP.

Here's a letter draft, feel free to amend and send:
To the office of MP __,Canada has the opportunity to enhance its global economic connections in response to the United States' recent tariff increases. This situation is a favorable time for Canada to encourage France, Italy, and more EU nations to ratify the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).If these nations ratify the agreement, it would not only reinforce Canada's economic ties with the EU but also create a shared foundation for trade and investment amid evolving global trade circumstances. The value of this deal lies in its ability to improve market entry, lessen trade barriers, and unlock new prospects for Canadian and European enterprises, thereby fostering economic progress and steadiness in a volatile global market. Ratifying CETA could strategically offset the effects of U.S. tariffs by promoting an environment supportive of trade and investment, ensuring lasting economic success for all parties involved.Thank you for your time, and for your continued representation of (Riding).
After Carney is sworn in tomorrow, he is heading to the UK and France for some political meetings for a couple of days and then it sounds like an election will be called when he returns - set for April 28 or a week later. Perhaps his Europe meetings are about CETA and stronger ties.
