Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, has once again reiterated that Canada will not surrender its sovereignty to join the United States, which is another surreal example of a world leader being compelled to take the whimsical statements of a new president and his allies seriously. ‘That’s not going to happen. It’s just a non-starter,’ he told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Sunday. ‘Canadians are incredibly proud of being Canadian.’ However, it seems that Trudeau has not realized that this pride in his country conflicts with his attitude towards the United States, especially during the Trump era. Trump once used the title of ’51st state’ to refer to Canada, which was undoubtedly a personal dig at Trudeau, a liberal and Trump’s imagined political rival.
