Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney didn’t waste any time throwing fuel to the already fiery relationship between Canada and the US.
Moments after being elected, PM Mark Carney said in his victory speech that Donald Trump is “trying to break us so that America can own us.”
“As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our water, our resources, our country… never,” he said in the early hours of the morning of April 29.
“That will never, ever happen. But we also must recognize the reality that our world has fundamentally changed,” he added and warned these were not “idle threats.”
Carney’s speech is a response to Trump’s vision to make Canada a part of the United States of America.
Before former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to step down from power after a decade at the helm, Trump referred to him as to a “Governor of Canada.”
Prior to the elections in Canada, Trump took to Truth Social trying to influence Canadian voters.
“Good luck to the Great people of Canada,” he wrote.
“Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America.
“No more artificially drawn line from many years ago. Look how beautiful this land mass would be. Free access with NO BORDER. ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES. IT WAS MEANT TO BE!” Trump continued.
Both Prime Minister Carney and his rival, Liberal Party candidate Both Poilievre, pledged to stand up to Trump if elected.
Trump claimed Canada had the power to work as a state because “America is ‘spending $200 billion a year to subsidize it.”
Carney said they were “over the shock of the American betrayal” and ask his people “to look out for ourselves and above all we have to take care of each other.”
“When I sit down with President Trump it will be to discuss the future economic and security relationship between two sovereign nations, and it will be with our full knowledge that we have many, many other options than the United States to build prosperity for all Canadians,” Mark Carney added.
He also urged Canadians to buy domestic goods and to explore everything the country has to offer.
“United we will win this trade war and build the strongest economy in the G7. An economy that works for everyone,” Carney added.
