Former Canadian leader gives Trump direct advice: “Shake your head!” »

Former Canadian leader gives Trump direct advice: “Shake your head!” »

 


VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) President-elect Donald Trump's remarks that Canada should become the 51st state drew condemnation and a patriotic outburst Saturday from a former Canadian prime minister who offered direct advice to the new American leader: shake your head!

Jean Chrétien, who served as Canada's prime minister from 1993 to 2003, joined a chorus of officials from the U.S.'s northern neighbor who say Trump's remarks are no longer a joke and could weaken the ally closest to America.

Canada would never agree to be part of the United States, Chrétien wrote in an article published in The Globe and Mail newspaper, celebrating his 91st birthday.

He touted his country's love of independence and said Trump's remarks constituted completely unacceptable insults and unprecedented threats to Canadian sovereignty.

To Donald Trump, from one old man to another, shake your head! said Chrétien. What would make you think Canadians would ever abandon the best country in the world and make no mistake that that's what we are by joining the United States?

Trump has unleashed expansionist rhetoric not only against Canada but also against other US allies, with arguments that the boundaries of US power must be extended to the Danish territory of Greenland and south to include the Panama Canal.

And although many European leaders responded with restraint, Canadians did not hold back.

If you think that threatening and insulting us will convince us, you really don't know anything about us, writes Chrétien in the article. We may appear easy-going and mild-mannered. But make no mistake, we have courage and tenacity.

The United States imports approximately 60% of its crude oil from Canada, which is also the primary export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly 3.6 billion Canadian dollars ($2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border every day.

Canadian officials have discussed with new Trump administration officials the possibility of increasing border security to avoid the massive 25% tariffs that Trump has threatened to impose on all Canadian products.

When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada announced billions in new tariffs in 2018 against the United States, in response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum.
