It isn\u2019t, and it only took LeBlanc a few days to concede that he was wrong and that Trump\u2019s threats were no joke and needed to be taken seriously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another Liberal, former Prime Minister Jean Chretien, let it all out in a recent Globe and Mail opinion piece in his blunt Shawinigan style and said this, in part. \u201cCanada would never agree to be part of the United States.\u201d He went on to say that Trump\u2019s remarks were \u201ctotally unacceptable insults and unprecedented threats to Canada\u2019s sovereignty.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Chretien said, \u201cIf you think threatening and insulting us is going to win us over, you really don\u2019t know a thing about Canadians. We may look easy-going, mild mannered, but make no mistake, we have spine and toughness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of that is well and good, and it needed to be said but what does it really mean? Donald Trump becomes President of the United States in eight days. As things stand, the Trudeau government is effectively leaderless, with a lame-duck Prime Minister presiding over a weak and somewhat dysfunctional government until at least mid-March. That leaves a significant void in what may take place in the meantime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Dominic Le Blanc and Melanie Joly have said they will not be part of the Liberal leadership race because their current responsibilities to deal with a Trump Administration are too important. They may be right, but no doubt they were also happy to have a reason to step away from a leadership race that polling has shown Trudeau\u2019s announced leaving did not change the huge gulf between the Liberals and Conservatives; in fact, it increased by five points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither Dominic Le Blanc nor Melanie Joly is the Prime Minister, and it is unlikely that Trump will deal effectively with anyone below that level or, indeed, with a lame-duck Prime Minister who is clearly on the way out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought I saw a ray of sunshine last week when LeBlanc declined to be a leadership candidate. I thought it might be a signal that with him out of the race, he could be named interim leader and, therefore, Prime Minister until the next election. At least it would have provided a level of leadership that is now seriously lacking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It appears I was wrong about that. Justin Trudeau will not leave until he is in a position where he must, and that is under his terms when a new leader is elected, not appointed. Trudeau is still on the payroll as Prime Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, with no identified strong leader for the Liberals and, therefore, the federal government, with no effective Prime Minister, we need an election now and not this Spring. It is my belief the Governor General can make that happen by recalling Parliament. Otherwise, we will be in a very poor position to negotiate with the Trump Administration for many months. I am not holding my breath on this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hard facts are that Donald Trump can start his moves against Canada before the end of this month. It won\u2019t take long for him to prove to people that he is NOT joking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Tariffs could have a devastating effect on Canada, but there is another issue that is not getting the attention I believe it should, and that is Trump\u2019s signals of imperialism by looking to other lands to control, including Canada.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who dismiss that as a conspiracy theory, let\u2019s take a look at the broader picture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donald Trump has recently suggested that America started the war in Ukraine because they encouraged that country\u2019s membership in NATO. Most, if not all of us, are aware that Putin invaded Ukraine in a bold move to obtain more territory, with signals that it may not stop there. Trump has never called on Russia to withdraw from Ukraine, and he never will.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for China, they are getting very serious about attacking and taking over Taiwan. The United States has always been an ally of Taiwan, which is keeping China from attacking. But now, Trump has indicated that the United States may not defend Taiwan in the event of an attack by China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, in the United States, you have a man who will be President very soon, threatening to take back the Panama Canal and to take Greenland from Denmark, a NATO ally, both through military force if necessary. As for Canada, he says he will bend us to our knees through economic force and make us the 51<sup>st<\/sup> state of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, leaving the Middle East aside for a moment, what we have are three of the most powerful countries in the world tacitly supporting each other\u2019s imperialistic aspirations. None of these countries will attack the other for illegal expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is happening globally is encouraging Donald Trump. He believes if he supports or doesn\u2019t attack their plans for expansionism, they, in turn, will leave him alone with his.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my view, taking these three powers and their ambitions together, the table is set for a new imperialistic control of world affairs. All that is missing from their perspective are the wine glasses and a toast to what they believe will be the new World Order.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can dismiss this out of hand, and perhaps some of it should be. But the harsh reality is that our world and its axis of power has changed. We have seen real signs of Putin wanting to conquer Ukraine and perhaps go further into some parts of Europe, China wanting to control much of the territory around them, and now the United States flashing its covetous eye on Canada. Rampant Imperialism. All real and factual. No conspiracy theory here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody should misinterpret or underestimate Donald Trump\u2019s threat toward Canada. It is real and significant. Once that man gets an idea in his head, it is very hard to get it out. It may not turn out to be annexation, but it will certainly be about bringing Canada further under the shadow and control of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada should not be dealing with all this from a position of weakness. We have many strengths, and we always punch above our weight. But Canada\u2019s sovereignty has been directly challenged by our next-door neighbour. That, too, is a fact. There are no jokes here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why strong new leadership is required for Canada now, not six months from now. We need Justin Trudeau out the door now, or we need an early election. Time is already running out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t have time to waste.<\/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.
