That is true. We see that with Trump, where he tries to force the EU to open markets to the US corporations who will just steal data from EU citizens.

Why can't the EU learn more from Canada? Canada realised that with Trump there is no way to make a deal. So cut things down where possible, diversify - the EU still has to learn this lesson. In particular Germany is totally US-addicted - no idea why, other than, of course, the obvious answer ("we need to export into the USA", aka selfish greed from Germany here).

Canada isn’t that great either. We say one thing then do the opposite of that. Google is moving in to do age verification for Canadian services.

Can you name examples how the EU or Germany is US addicted? From my POV in central Europe this has changed long long long ago.
