Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during a news conference at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, Canada on January 6, 2025.

While this bluster is unlikely to lead to any real territorial expansion, it is having the effect of destabilizing some long-held allies of the United States. In Canada, Trump’s threat of a tariff war and annexation was a precipitating cause of the already-unpopular Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation.
While the Canadian political elite has been rattled by Trump, they don’t have any effective response for defending their own sovereignty. In truth, Canada’s national sovereignty has already been weakened by decades of neoliberalism, a point made by Canadian journalist Nora Loreto. For this episode of The Time of Monsters, I talked to Nora about Trump’s threats and Canada’s disarray.
