Canada's strong message to Trump: "we will not let this happen"

The new Canadian Prime Minister, who has just replaced Justin Trudeau, believes that Donald Trump wants to "break" the Canadian people to better possess them and make them the 51st American state.

For months, it was political chaos in Canada. Mark Carney, the incoming Canadian Prime Minister, intends to change things. This Sunday, March 23, he announced the organization of early elections, which will take place on April 28. "I am asking Canadians for a strong mandate to face President Trump," said the head of the government.

Canada resists

In addition to an internal political crisis (parliamentary blockage, motion of no confidence, resignation of Trudeau...), the country is currently facing the moods of Donald Trump who, since his return to power, has imposed tariffs of 25% on Canadian imports and continues to proclaim that Canada will one day become an American state. The White House tenant "wants to break us so that America can possess us," noted Carney, adding that Canadians will not let this happen.

An extraordinary configuration

And while Canadian elections usually revolve around domestic issues, housing crisis, immigration or cost of living, it seems that since Trump's return, concerns have shifted. Indeed, today, it's the relations with the United States that concern all Canadians most, indicates the media Franceinfo. A rather extraordinary configuration for the upcoming elections.
