Canada's foreign affairs minister Melanie Joly says she's keeping an eye on US in case it becomes 'authoritarian regime' after 2024 election

A Canadian lawmaker has revealed a 'game-plan' is being devised on how to respond if the US becomes a far-right, authoritarian regime, following the presidential election.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada is keeping a close eye on who is going to be America's next leader, the National Post reports.

'We are certainly working on scenarios,' Joly told a Montreal radio station in French during an interview this week.

'In general, there is our game plan, precisely to be able to manage what could be a rather difficult situation.

'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.'

She is believed to be alluding to the possible re-election of former President Donald Trump, who will likely be the Republican nominee and face off against Joe Biden in a tight race.

During the same discussion, she said the issue of how Canada prevents the growth of the far-right is being looked at more widely.

'The other aspect of the question is more about knowing how we as a democracy are able to thwart the growth of the far-right in our country, because it’s happening in the United States, it’s happening in Europe,' she said.

Joly added: 'So one can’t be naïve here, Patrick; it’s happening right now with us, there is, we know that there is certainly a radicalization of the [Canadian] Conservative Party.'

University of Ottawa national-security professor Thomas Juneau said that with unpredictability experienced around the world recently, it's necessary to be prepared for any outcome.

'What would have been extremely far-fetched scenarios maybe 10 years ago, today are not impossible anymore,' he said.

Kinda sounds like a commie plan. I've got an idea - after Trump wins, open the Keystone XL pipeline again. She'll be hero. And, as always, I blame Canada.

Canaduh is on the cutting edge of fascism for the Anglophile world.

No kidding. 16 years ago, whoever would have thought we'd elect an outright communist and let him "fundamentally transform America"? Whoever would have thought the communist take-over project would be nearly complete in 2023?

But somehow, I don't think these are the "far-fetched scenarios" he's talking about. He's the strong cheerleader for authoritarian communism who hates liberty, freedom, and individualism.

Missy, please define "Authoritarian". Nothing can be more authoritarian than Canada which dictates which language you are allowed to put on a sign.

As long as you don’t blame the Albertans. We are hostages in our own country.

The phrase “far-right authoritarian” is an oxymoron.

Joly certainly likes her job of hers in that far-left authoritarian regime in Ottawa.

Who would believe that someone with a fake birth certificate, born in Africa, a muslim raised in Indonesia would become president? They thought they were electing a Magic Negro. Instead they got a blood red Communist.

Canada freezes bank funds of political opponents.

Canada allows political opponents to die from medical negligence.

Canada’s prime minister says political opponents have “unacceptable thoughts.”

Whose authoritarianism should we be concerned about?

She has no problem with government re-programming people, because she is right and anyone who disagrees with her is authoritarian. She is a monster.

Ya mean like Canaduh is?

Yes, I am a citizen of occupied Alberta. The Prairie Provinces have always been treated as colonies by the Laurentianists.

TUCK FRUDEAU! (And all his minions, like Ms.Joly!)

Yes, and fifteen years after so many delusional Americans voted for him, they are all accused of being “racists”. Funny how that works.
