Summary
Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister on March 14, declaring “We will never, in any shape or form, be part of the US,” rejecting Donald Trump’s annexation threats.
Carney won the Liberal leadership with 85.9% of the vote despite having no elected experience.
He called US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s suggestion that Canada would be better as “the 51st state” simply “crazy.”
Carney is expected to call an election soon as he faces the challenge of managing Trump’s trade war that threatens to push Canada into recession.
The recent film Civil War gives a good example of what could happen. There is certainly a subset of Trump supporters that would follow orders. But a large segment would likely split off and further divide the country.
Yep it will not be one side versus the other. It will be a mixed bag of violence and chaos.
