How can anyone think for a minute that the EU will be signing anything in the near future? Their highest priority is Brexit and the legislative nightmare related to it. They also have to manage the risk of separation in several areas of the EU such as Catalonia and Venice, and they are coming onto elections in Germany and France. Signing CETA will be a complication to say the least. That was wrong timing from Canada, unless our government did it on purpose to bury the agreement negotiated by the conservatives.
