Summary
Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister on March 14, declaring “We will never, in any shape or form, be part of the US,” rejecting Donald Trump’s annexation threats.
Carney won the Liberal leadership with 85.9% of the vote despite having no elected experience.
He called US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s suggestion that Canada would be better as “the 51st state” simply “crazy.”
Carney is expected to call an election soon as he faces the challenge of managing Trump’s trade war that threatens to push Canada into recession.
Canada also has NATO.
A declaration of war from the current leader of NATO will likely fracture what is currently NATO. Europe will want to help Canada, but they will be preoccupied with suppressing Russia’s aggression, because there is no longer a NATO.
Canada won’t have NATO. At best it will have half of NATO.
