It is true that over the years, he has told so many lies and spread so much disinformation that it is hard to take him seriously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we must.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the articles I have read about Trump\u2019s reference to Canada as America\u2019s 51<sup>st<\/sup> State and the Prime Minister of Canada as Governor Trudeau begin with a comment that he is joking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Trump repeatedly says he wants to take back the Panama Canal, purchase Greenland and potentially annex Canada, when he mocks this country in his Christmas message, he is sending signals we need to pay attention to. He is showing serious signs of being expansionist and territorial like Russia and China. He probably honestly believes that if these two countries can be territorial, so can the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There may be no realistic scenario for Canada becoming part of the United States, but Donald Trump will push that button as far as he can to see what he can gain from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent opinion piece, author Eric Blais said this: \u201cWith Trudeau\u2019s weakening position in the polls and Chrystia Freeland\u2019s abrupt resignation, Trump\u2019s taunts seem designed to exploit Canada\u2019s vulnerabilities. It is a calculated tactic to keep Canada off balance, create chaos at federal and provincial levels and distract from the broader agenda.&#8221; And then this. \u201cWhile Trump\u2019s remarks may seem like just another Truth Social quip, their potential ripple effects on Canada\u2019s political landscape are no laughing matter.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken at face value, Donald Trump\u2019s demeaning posture toward Canada is not only disrespectful, but it is also a direct attack on its sovereignty. In that context, former Quebec Premier Jean Charest posted online that \u201cevery Canadian, regardless of their opinion of the Prime Minister or political affiliation, should feel deeply offended by President Trump\u2019s remarks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donald Trump may bluster to the point that people tend not to take him seriously but one must remember that he has the entire MAGA movement behind him as well as Elon Musk, all of whom believe, the greater, larger and more powerful the United States can be, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elon Musk himself, with the possible exception of Trump, is probably the most powerful and influential person in the United States. Some say he is effectively co-president. Trump has said he cannot be president because he was not born in America, and that seems to be enough solace for him. When Musk was directly asked whether or not he was effectively President of the United States, he responded, \u201cNot officially.\u201d&nbsp; Scary that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are those who believe that Trump will soon jettison Musk because he is becoming too powerful. I am not so sure that he will or even that he can. I see Elon Musk as more like a modern-day Rasputin, who had so much influence over the last Czar of Russia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that Trump is captivated by Musk and listens to him very carefully and gives him free rein. For that reason, I don\u2019t believe the President-elect would be talking so freely about expansionism in relation to Canada, the Panama Canal, or Greenland without his encouragement and endorsement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Against that background, enter now, Mr. Wonderful. That is the self-styled handle of Kevin O\u2019Leary, a Canadian entrepreneur and showman known by many for his role in the television program Dragon\u2019s Den.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He claims that most Canadians want a more formal relationship with the United States. First of all, he is wrong. A recent Leger poll indicates only 13% of Canadians would support that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we have a Canadian, not without influence or notoriety, advocating for at least an economic relationship with the United States, if not total annexation. According to one newspaper, O\u2019Leary \u201cendorses Trump\u2019s vision of Canada as the 51<sup>st<\/sup> U.S. State for economic benefits.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In relation to his belief that Trump should pursue his stated position on Canada, Kevin O\u2019Leary has said, \u201cI\u2019m going to Mar-a-Lago to convince Trump myself.\u201d He forgot to mention that he hadn\u2019t actually been invited, but that won\u2019t stop Kevin O\u2019Leary, who has apparently been invited to Trump\u2019s Inauguration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If O\u2019Leary does manage to bend Trump\u2019s ear, as he says he wants to, some may think it is just two old clowns having a good laugh at Canada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Trump admires men like Mr. Wonderful. He will listen to O\u2019Leary if only to add fuel to promoting his own agenda and claiming to have huge support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No doubt, someone will correct me if I am wrong here, and maybe things have changed in this populist world. However, I can\u2019t help thinking that if someone goes or threatens to go to the President or President-elect of another country to advocate for some form of domination of Canada, that, at least at one time, would come pretty close to treason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada does not need people like Kevin O\u2019Leary to promote a weakening of our Sovereignty. Most people in this country are proud to be Canadian, warts and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;What we do need, however, is leadership that demonstrates to the Trump Administration that this game is not on and that our sovereignty needs to be taken seriously. While I recognize that much of this diplomacy must hide behind closed doors, Canadians need assurance that their interests as a nation are being protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometime in the near future there is going to be a general election in Canada. Although we have serious domestic issues, there is, in my view, no more serious a situation than the need to define the relationship between Canada and the United States and to know what policies will be put in place to make sure Canada\u2019s national interests are protected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking personally, the political party that can best demonstrate that will have my vote. Mr. Wonderful can opt for the United States if he so chooses; I am perfectly happy right where I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hugh Mackenzie<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-183060\" style=\"width:357px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2-648x432.jpg 648w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/12\/Hugh-Mackenzie-photo-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Hugh Mackenzie has held elected office as a trustee on the Muskoka Board of Education, a Huntsville councillor, a District councillor, and mayor of Huntsville.
