Chrystia Freeland, a leading candidate to replace Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the helm of the governing Labour Party, has suggested that Britain and France could be called on to provide a nuclear deterrent against the United States.
The leadership race in Canada soared to new levels of hysteria this week as former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland floated the idea that Ottawa should look to forge closer ties with the United Kingdom and France as they possess nuclear weapons that could be used to protect Canada from the supposed threat of invasion from America.
“I would be working urgently with those partners to build a closer security relationship… in a time when the United States can be a threat,” Freeland said per the Daily Telegraph.
The former finance minister said that to “guarantee our security” from the supposed threat, she would “be sure that France and Britain were there, who possess nuclear weapons”.
The comments came in response to apparent jests of annexing Canada to become the “51st state” by U.S. President Donald Trump amid his trade war efforts to gain concessions on economics and migration from both the neighbours to the south in Mexico and to the north in Canada.
The comments from Freeland drew pushback from other leading figures in Canada, including Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who said: “I think that that was an insane thing to say… As if somehow we’re going to have a nuclear threat from the United States or counter some kind of nuclear threat.”
“The US is our friend and allied security partner,” the Conservative politician added.
Ahead of Trump’s inauguration in January, Prime Minister Trudeau announced that he would resign, sparking a leadership contest in the left-wing Labour Party.

Well that escalated fast...sheesh
Elect one of the Canadian truckers as PM. They love freedom and have commonsense.
We all know that Trump is at war with the US deep-state and “Atlanticists.” But he is in an undeclared war with their partners in London and Brussels.
Just shows how completely out of touch and childish the Canadian government is.
The left, they’re all nuts.
Yeah, UK threatens to nuke the US to prevent us from making an offer that Canada would accept about joining the US. Sheesh indeed!
Hysteria sounds like she’s taking too many birth control pills or something. A real ditz. I hope she isn’t smoking the tampons in the boyz room.
Do the British and French nuclear weapons actually work? From what I understand about the condition of the UK military, I would be surprised if they did.
Yikes crazy and stupid. Has this lunatic figured out how to keep radiation from crossing the border?
for the sake of perpetuating the fentanyl poisoning of US citizens..
They made more sense when the crackhead was in office.
That woman is nuts. She’s even worse than Trudope.
Maybe she’s seeking an an alliance with China, Iran and North Korea.
What a nut job.
Canaduh is not a serious country. Frankly, the UK and France aren’t either.
I guess eliminating Ukrainians weren’t enough for her.
LMAO!

This little piggy went against the freedoms of the Canadian Truckers, right? (if I’m wrong I’ll ask for the post to be deleted)

Trump should send 20,000 troops to the Canadian border just to terrify them :)
