As the correspondent of The New York Times in Brussels, Kanter questioned some aspects of the functioning of the European institutions, such as power dynamics at the EU summits. He also made skeptical comments of the functioning of the Belgian parliamentary system. Kanter warned that "too many people working for the EU institutions don't see the big picture" in reference to the threats to the European project that the nationalist and nativist forces in Europe represent. In 2018, after leaving The New York Times, Kanter launched the podcast EU Scream focused on civil society issues in the EU. ==UK citizens rights in the Brexit context==

Kanter expressed concerns early on about the Brexit referendum and about what it would mean for UK citizens. After the Brexit referendum of 2016, he became an advocate for British citizens seeking to obtain an EU passport in another country in order to preserve their rights.{{Cite news|last1=Mykkänen|first1=Pekka|date=May 21, 2019 |title=Brysselistä on tullut myrkyllinen brändi|url= https://www.hs.fi/politiikka/art-2000006112654.html ==Awards==
