That was quickly followed by a threat to annex Canada through “economic force” from incoming U.S. president-elect Donald Trump and renewed taunts by Trump towards Justin Trudeau. All of this now forms the backdrop for a Liberal party leadership race that will likely result in the winner becoming Canada’s next prime minister.
