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.
Joly drew an analogy to her government's experience working with the administration of former U.S. president Donald Trump, which sought to limit long-established trade in crucial sectors. Juneau said Canada could face the prospect of political refugees, economic protectionism in one of the largest trading relationships in the world and a shock to Ottawa's reliance on the U.S. for intelligence-sharing and scientific co-operation."If an increasingly authoritarian U.S. is increasingly unilateral and dismissive of traditional alliances like NATO or arrangements like Norad, how does that damage our security?" Juneau asked.
NDP foreign-affairs critic Heather McPherson said it's only logical that Ottawa plan for an aggressive Washington. She said Canada would benefit from stronger ties with other allies, even if it ends up remaining on good terms with the U.S.
