The 51st State
Not long after his inauguration, Donald Trump began to describe Justin Trudeau as the “governor of the 51st state.” Like most politicians and critics, Trump was jovial and at first, thought of it as a joke. Since then, Trump has said it over and over again, so it’s starting to be taken seriously, and the idea is beginning to take root. It may well become a reality.
Trudeau and his government have put Canada into a position of weakness. To start with, by getting the country into an unreasonable amount of debt, and then, by promoting the “world’s first post-national state,” a country with no backbone, in which all values are equally acceptable in a delirious multiculturalism. In both respects, Trudeau was following in his father's footsteps.
This, while American culture takes precedence everywhere (television, cinema, music, shows, etc.). Canada now differs from its southern neighbor in only two respects: social programs and the presence of a 22% French-speaking population. But we can no longer afford social programs. If Canada wants to better resist the American steamroller, it must develop its culture by emphasizing the development of the French language by establishing true bilingualism at all levels, starting with the position of governor general.
It’s not a guarantee of success, but it’s the best possible option to resist our ambitious, predatory neighbor from the south. Even King Charles III will not lift a finger to protect this part of his kingdom.
