The freedom that American President-elect Donald Trump takes to make fun of Canada and make fun of its leaders is unprecedented in the history of relations between the two countries, believes an analyst who recalls the “revanchist” character of the Republican.

This is the first time that Canada has occupied so much space in the unofficial speech of the President of the United States. […] There is obviously the darker aspect of all this, which is that Mr. Trump is a little vengeful,” Stéphan Bureau declared Tuesday on TVA Nouvelles.
If Trump attacked Chrystia Freeland after her resignation from the Liberal government, it was because he wanted to settle old scores with the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, who had “masterfully negotiated” the free trade agreement, detailed Mr. Bureau.
According to Mr. Bureau’s analysis, Justin Trudeau finds himself, after the resignation of Minister Freeland, in a position of extreme weakness in the face of Donald Trump who is omnipotent with control of both Houses.
On Wednesday, the Republican billionaire returned to the charge again by repeating on his Truth Social network his idea of uniting Canada with its southern neighbor like 51e State, a proposal he had already made to the Prime Minister during the famous dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
“Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51e State. They would save a huge amount in taxes and military protection. I think it’s a great idea. 51st State!” Mr. Trump wrote on his social network.
In his propensity to deride Canadian leaders by calling Mr. Trudeau a “governor” in particular, Donald Trump threw a dart at Ms. Freeland, who had just resigned from her post as Minister of Finance in Ottawa.
“His behavior was completely toxic and not at all conducive to making good deals for the very unfortunate citizens of Canada. No one will miss her!” the Republican billionaire quipped.
