Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine Donald Trump's renewed threats to make Canada the 51st state, delivered during a recent Arizona rally. They analyze whether this signals a post-midterm escalation and discuss a proposal by Canadian thinkers urging the Carney government to form a "middle powers" alliance with Europe. They debate the merits and risks of this third-way approach, questioning whether such coalitions can withstand great power competition and whether distancing from the U.S. serves Canada's long-term interests.
