"It's a real thing": Trudeau doesn't think Trump's bluffing about annexing Canada

Salon  

Though he's previously painted Donald Trump's comments on annexing Canada as a distraction, outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shared a much more dire warning behind closed doors this week. While speaking to a group of business leaders on Friday, Trudeau said that Trump is not bluffing about his plans to turn Canada into "the 51st state." The comment saying Trump's threat to annex the Great North being a "real thing" was the last thing overheard by reporters before his mic was cut. Trump has floated annexing Canada multiple times in the last year, including it in an expansionist plan that also includes wresting control of Greenland and the Panama Canal.
