Is it Donald Trump? Is it President Xi of China? Is it President Vladimir Putin of Russia?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;In my view, none of the above. I believe we need to take a very hard look at Elon Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This man is the richest person in the world, according to Forbes Magazine, with a net worth of $400 billion. He owns Telsa and SpaceX and took over Twitter in 2022. There is a good chance that he now has his eye on TickTok, a popular website especially for younger people that is currently in the hands of China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has held Canadian citizenship and in the United States has shifted from a Democrat to the alt-right of American politics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although never holding elected office, Elon Musk can knock on any door of the rich and powerful, and it will be opened. He spent tens of millions to help Donald Trump again get elected as President of the United States. He was his largest donor. He is also one of the biggest government contractors, if not the biggest. There are few, if any, to whom Trump listens more carefully than Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some media have described Musk as Co-President with Donald Trump. When asked about that by a reporter, Musk answered, \u201cNot officially.\u201d&nbsp; The fact that Elon Musk has an office in the White House, just down the hall from the Oval Office, begs that question. It is pretty clear that, at least for now, he is the power behind the throne.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Trump\u2019s Inauguration, Elon Musk was accused of giving the NAZI salute, not once but three times. It may or may not have been that, but it certainly looked like it and Musk, who is brilliant, would have known that is how his gesture would be interpreted. Certainly, the alt-right Proud Boys liked it, and it is interesting to note that Musk himself, although asked several times, has never denied it was a NAZI salute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, this is the man currently inside the White House who is pulling many of the strings. But Elon Musk is interested in much more than that. In my view, this unelected man wants to change the world order and completely reorganize global financial practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spite of his mantra about freedom of speech, he uses his huge media platform to influence others toward his right-wing views. More importantly, perhaps, in recent months, he has interfered in the political process of England, Germany, France, and, yes, Canada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Germany, just a few days ago, during a federal election, he addressed the alt-right party there, currently leading in the polls, and encouraged them to effectively forget about the Holocaust and to move ahead with their right-wing agenda for Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With no small thanks to Elon Musk, Donald Trump has surrounded himself with the super-rich. He listens to them and is influenced by them, and in most serious political moves, Musk is in the room representing them. Some media sources have described this as a rule by oligarchy in the United States, and they may be right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is my belief that Donald Trump would not be consistently and increasingly more aggressively talking about expansionism without the support and encouragement of Elon Musk.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a video speech to the World Economic Forum held in Davos, late last week, Trump boasted that the United States would very soon be \u201cmuch larger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He may have been talking about the Panama Canal, or Greenland, or Canada, which, by the way, is geographically larger than the United States, or he could be talking just about Canada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it really doesn\u2019t matter. Canadians should take his threats against our sovereignty very seriously, more so even than the threatened tariffs, which may be just a tool in Trump\u2019s bag to gain control over Canada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several reasons why we should pay intensive attention to this. First, in the next few months, Donald Trump will be meeting with the Presidents of China and Russia, a summit between arguably the three most powerful nations in the world, all of whom are territorial in their objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China wants Taiwan and total control over the South Chinese Sea. Russia wants to control Ukraine and perhaps more. Putin has also been threatening Canada\u2019s sovereignty in the Arctic. These three leaders, either separately or together, may talk about friendship, peace, and tranquility, but behind closed doors, they could well be carving out new territory and agreeing not to take issue with one another if or when it happens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who then would protect Canada?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certainly, this is not an extreme probability, but the nuts and bolts are all in place to make it happen, much like they were in Europe immediately before World War Two.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was an interesting and somewhat compelling Editorial in the Globe and Mail on January 25<sup>th<\/sup> titled, \u201cIt\u2019s time for Canada to finally grow up.\u201d It starts by saying, \u201cIt may seem odd to say that Canada, the world\u2019s fourth oldest continuous democracy, needs to start behaving like a grown-up, but that is precisely the moment in which this country finds itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thrust of the editorial is that Canada has complacently relied too long on the United States militarily and economically. It states, \u201cThis lack of maturity is a result of an over-reliance on the United States for military protection and a built-in source of export revenues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes on to say, \u201cWhat matters is that it is now clear that the starting assumption for economic and defense decisions in the future can no longer be that the \u201cU.S. will always be there for Canada. We must stand on our own. It will require making tough decisions, adult choices, but we can do it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pretty well agree with that. Canada needs to view all the posturing from the President of the United States and his henchmen as a serious wake-up call, not just opening our eyes but jerking us completely out of bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to find a way to meet our military and defence obligations to NATO now and not many years from now. We need to increase our trading partners outside of the United States and form new strong alliances that will respect our sovereignty. We need to ramp up the things that Canadians can both produce and use themselves without depending so heavily on other countries. We must respect and protect our copious natural resources which are coveted by many of those outside of Canada. And all of that is just for starters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One major problem, though, is that in all of this, time is now of the essence. With Trump in power across the way, surrounded by his cronies, including Elon Musk, anything could happen at any time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A much bigger problem is that Canada is now somewhat rudderless. Never, in my view, has there been a more important time for unity and leadership. It is a fair and urgent question to ask where that is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donald Trump likes nothing more than a perceived adversary that displays weakness. He loves to use the kind of leverage provided by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Kevin O\u2019Leary to boast loudly that Canadians would be better off controlled by the United States and that many of us want that to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a proud Canadian and always will be, and I do not believe that Canada is broken. We will always be proud and strong. But there can be little doubt that we are in quite a mess right now, and we allow that to continue at our peril.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I agree with what Doug Ford\u2019s hat says: that Canada is not for sale, and we are most certainly not here for the taking. I also believe that we have a lot of work to do very quickly to avoid unwanted consequences, however severe that work might turn out to be. We need to grow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And by the way, I want one of those hats!<\/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.

Loved winning local elections\u2026.not so keen about the ones I lost! Really liked co-directing a bunch of musicals here and proud of the Algonquin Theatre. Am a political junkie\u2026can\u2019t help it. Sometimes enjoy stirring it up! Crazy about my family but the jury is still out on the cat!
