« Le Canada nous a toujours très maltraités, mais plus maintenant. »
Le président des États-Unis, Donald Trump, persiste et signe : le Canada n’a pas d’autre choix que de devenir le 51e État américain, a-t-il affirmé lors d’une série d’attaques verbales à l’endroit de son voisin du Nord, pendant un rassemblement partisan en vue des élections de mi-mandat, ce mercredi 14 octobre.

« Le Canada nous a toujours très maltraités, mais plus maintenant. Désormais, Trump est en ville ! » a lancé le président devant la foule réunie à Bullhead City, en Arizona.
« Ils ont été durs, mais nous ne tolérons plus ces conneries. Leurs compagnies automobilistes déménagent chez nous. Ils s’en viennent tous ici, parce que sinon, il vont payer d’imposants tarifs », a-t-il ajouté.
Lors de son envolée lyrique, le locataire de la Maison-Blanche a une fois de plus soutenu qu’Ottawa finirait par céder à la tentation de rejoindre le pays de l'Oncle Sam en devenant son 51e État, « parce que c’est la seule solution ».
« Nous n’avons pas besoin d’eux, mais ils ont besoin de nous. Alors pourquoi est-ce qu’on perdrait 80, 90 ou 100 millions pour aider un pays qui ne fait pas partie de notre nation », a soutenu le président de 80 ans.
Selon lui, le Canada fera « exactement comme le Groenland », ajoutant que cela « ne fait qu’enrichir notre magnifique assiette ».
Ces déclarations surviennent alors que l’ambassadeur américain au Canada, Pete Hoekstra, a laissé entendre que certaines prises de position politiques canadiennes pourraient constituer de « l’ingérence politique » à l’approche des élections de mi-mandat de novembre.
Il faisait notamment référence aux propos de la ministre Mélanie Joly, qui avait affirmé en août que les tarifs douaniers canadiens visaient stratégiquement certains États américains.
Or, depuis son retour à la Maison-Blanche, Donald Trump s’est lui-même mêlé à plusieurs débats politiques étrangers.
Il a notamment réclamé un nouveau président en Ukraine, reprochant à Volodymyr Zelenskyy de ne pas en faire assez pour mettre fin à la guerre contre la Russie.
Plus tôt ce mois-ci, il a aussi soutenu Flavio Bolsonaro, fils de l’ancien président brésilien, lors des élections au Brésil, ainsi que l’ancien premier ministre hongrois Viktor Orbán, avant sa défaite électorale en avril.
Canada and the European Union are laying out concrete steps to strengthen ties around digital security, critical resources and a would-be fleet of Canadian water bombers, according to a draft joint statement ahead of a major summit at month’s end.
The document, seen by The Canadian Press, states that Ottawa and Brussels aim to let Canadian companies bid on cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure contracts typically reserved for European companies in another push away from dependence on the United States.
Dubbed an “alliance for the future,” the renewed partnership also launches plans for Canada to join in Europe’s Galileo satellite navigation system and wraps up a deal to facilitate European investment in Canadian critical minerals, according to the leaked statement.
It further announces the joint purchase of 50 Canadian-made De Havilland water bombers it claims will be ready for use in fighting wildfires in 2030.
More broadly, the statement showcases the ongoing effort to shore up links in areas ranging from trade to education and the military, as Canada and the European Union try to guard against a less reliable America and take up the flag of “the rules-based international order.”
The challenge lies in fending off backlash from the White House and continuing to bolster cross-Atlantic bonds beyond the next election cycle, said Patrick Leblond, an associate professor of public and international affairs at the University of Ottawa.
“The Americans, they’re playing a power game. For them, if Canada and other countries band together in a way to reduce their dependence on the U.S., the current U.S. administration — and potentially others in the future — will try to prevent that from happening,” Leblond said.
“Divide and conquer, that’s the power approach.”
The draft statement, dated Sept. 22, pledges to “strengthen digital sovereignty” and align emerging regulatory frameworks “through associated country status for Canada” under the European Commission’s proposed Cloud and AI Development Act.
That means Canada would be treated as a member country when it comes to bidding on contracts for critical digital infrastructure.
“Whether it’s Google, Amazon, Microsoft, we’re very dependent on these platforms. And as we know, it could be weaponized against our economy, against our governments,” said Leblond.
“The message here is, let’s work together. We trust each other.”
The provision comes after European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen proposed last month that Canada become the first associate member of the European Union.
Where possible, European contractors are already inclined to work with Canadian firms over American ones because of the export controls the United States tends to impose on sales to a third-country market, said Wendy Gilmour, vice-chair of the Conference of Defence Associations Institute.
However, persuading U.S.-oriented tech firms in Canada to cast their eyes toward Europe could pose a hurdle.
“There’s been a slow take-up by Canadian business because Canadian business has just been so used to working with the American market,” Gilmour said.
“It’s easy. It’s English speaking. It’s just a simpler prospect than to work in a European regulatory environment with 27 different countries.”
The Canada-EU summit, set for Oct. 29 and 30 in Montreal, will see Prime Minister Mark Carney host von der Leyen, European Council president António Costa and other EU leaders.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected in Calgary today to rally support for a united Canada as Alberta gears up for a separation referendum.
Carney is scheduled to join former Alberta deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk at a rally for his "Forever Canadian" group ahead of Monday's vote.
Premier Danielle Smith has put 10 questions on the ballot, including one on whether Alberta should stay in Canada or if it should hold a second, binding vote on quitting Confederation.
Tonight's rally isn't the first time Carney and Lukaszuk have teamed up to spread a pro-Canada message.
Last month, the prime minister invited Lukaszuk's group to attend a cabinet retreat in Banff, Alta., and Carney signed the Maple Leaf-wrapped motorhome Lukaszuk has been touring the province in.
Carney has said Canada is worth fighting for and that the country works better when it works together.
The prime minister is also scheduled to attend a rally with Lukaszuk in Edmonton on Friday.
Also Friday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Smith are scheduled to deliver speeches at a conference in Calgary.
