Answer:

Countries such as Canada that are classified as middle powers often join together to achieve common goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

In international politics, a middle power is a state that is not a great power and not a small state, but which has moderate to great influence and international recognition. There is no specific definition of which countries are intermediate powers, but some countries that have achieved this definition are Argentina, Mexico, Canada, Spain, and South Africa, among many others.

Usually, middle powers have similar interests to those of the superpowers, but they do not have the influence or power of these. Therefore, as a way of counteracting this imbalance, many times the average powers come together in groups, seeking to achieve their goals together. For example, MERCOSUR in South America or BRICS (Brazil, India, China and South Africa) are groups that help middle powers to achieve their economic and political goals.
