British nuclear weapons can protect Canada against Trump, says Trudeau party candidate

Liberal party leader Chrystia Freeland advocates for closer ties with Britain to strengthen Canada’s security amid threats from Donald Trump. She claims Trump’s actions threaten Canadian sovereignty, suggesting he aims to make Canada the 51st state.

To "guarantee our security," Freeland proposes enhancing partnerships with NATO allies, specifically France and Britain, which have nuclear weapons. She emphasized the need for a closer security relationship with these nations during a recent leadership debate.

The Liberal party has gained traction in the polls, responding to Trump's criticism of Trudeau. Freeland currently trails behind Mark Carney in the leadership race, with results expected on March 9.
