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.

With the partial exception of our country, all the Anglosphere countries are soft authoritarian oligarchies ruled by leftist parties. That includes the United Kingdom, which is governed by a misnamed Tory party. I say America is a partial exception, but it really looks like we will not go into a soft fascism, but a Venezuela or Nicaragua type situation.

I have a plan, too. In February 2025, President Trump announces that US policy toward Canada is, “54 40 or fight.”

Start by trying to arrest all of our truckers.

She should look at her own country. Eyebrow Trudeau is a dictator.

Authoritarian? Like arresting people for holding religious services, or driving semitrucks?

Even mouthing those very words indicates that the woman should never have been Canada’s foreign minister. Without the United States, Russia would build oil derricks and fisheries in Yukon and Nunavut, and tell Canada to F-off if they didn’t like it.

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

Yep the Texas of Canada. Never had a bad time there.

“...if the US becomes a far-right, authoritarian regime,...”

Well, today we have a fascist, authoritarian regime. This guy, Biden, is trying hard to destroy this nation before leaving office.

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

And to top that off, it’s doggone cold up there. 😂

If Trump is reelected, shortly after he is Potus, he should remove America from the 5Eyes B$ group: the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

They hate us and never really back us if we have a president like Trump.

Also, they blatantly interfered with his first election.

Replace these loser countries with Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, India, Taiwan and Viet Nam.

"'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.'"

I wonder just what Melanie thinks she and her fellow communist progs "are ready" for. This is what they are claiming.

She is believed to be alluding to the possible re-election of former President Donald Trump,

What does that "readiness" consist of?

Legal oppression in all directions in Canada if PDJT wins the presidency in the US?

Copy Brandon and arrest all opposition AND their lawyers?

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.

I wonder if Mélanie knows that such growth is typically called "a big FAT hint" and she just might want to ponder how to save her commie butt.

Canada is a Satanist hellhole that will be exterminating most of its population.
