'In general, there is our game plan, precisely to be able to manage what could be a rather difficult situation,' said Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly
OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada has been considering a "game plan" for how it would respond if the United States takes a far-right, authoritarian shift after next year's presidential elections.
"I will work with my colleagues and with the mayors, the provincial premiers, with the business community, with the unions, with everyone in the country, so that we are ready regardless of the election outcome." But he there has been an extreme rise in global volatility in recent years, he said in a Thursday interview.
He said another question would be around American intervention in Canadian democratic processes. Already, far-right politicians in the U.S. voiced support for the "Freedom Convoy" protests in 2022. Meanwhile, Juneau said he hasn't heard of other countries saying publicly that they have contingency plans if Uncle Sam takes an authoritarian turn.
France's ambassador to Canada said last April that closer ties between Ottawa and Europe could protect both from Washington pulling inward.
