Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie 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.
"In general, there is our game plan, precisely to be able to manage what could be a rather difficult situation," she said. Trump is again running for the Republican nomination in next November's election, and has promised "retribution" against his opponents and civil servants.The U.S. embassy in Ottawa declined to comment on Joly's remarks.
"What would have been extremely far-fetched scenarios maybe 10 years ago, today are not impossible anymore," he said. At the time, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is now running against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, both fought against attempts to prevent Americans from donating to convoy protesters.
"This is very sensitive for any democratic ally of the U.S.," he said. "My guess is that any ally will be very, very discreet about this."
