This is absolutely ridiculous—Canada is a sovereign nation, and the fact that Trump is even throwing around the idea of annexation is beyond alarming. Trudeau is right to take this seriously and push for a strong response, but it’s concerning that King Charles has been so quiet on the issue. The UK still has historical ties to Canada, and while they don’t govern us, their support could send an important message. Trump’s rhetoric is dangerous, and it’s disappointing (but not surprising) that some people in the U.S. are actually entertaining this idea. This is exactly why we need strong leadership in Canada to stand up against authoritarian tendencies and defend democracy. Hopefully, this meeting leads to a clear, united stance against Trump’s nonsense. Canada is not up for grabs, and the world needs to push back against this kind of imperialist thinking.
