Donald Trump is now merely threatening to finish the job of destroying Canada that Justin Trudeau started in 2015.

Long before the incoming U.S. president threatened to use “economic force” to annex Canada as the “51st state,” Trudeau oversaw the cancellation of Canada’s history as we knew it.

You don’t have to look far to see what has disappeared.

Our first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, certainly was the main victim of an effort to banish the origins of Canada from the history books.

It’s popular these days to cancel historical figures when their views do not exactly mimic our own.

The woke warriors tried to apply modern politically correctness to leaders in the era of the horse and buggy and before the use of electricity was widespread. The first casualty of Canada’s history was removing Macdonald from the $10 bill.

They always demonized him — citing his issues with alcohol — but added a special kind of ridicule when they tied him to the residential school system for Indigenous children, which began more than 30 years before he was prime minister and ended more than 100 years after his death.

With Trudeau cheerleading, Macdonald’s name was removed from schools and his statue was not only torn down in Montreal and Victoria, but also from his hometown of Kingston. A statue of him remains boarded up outside of Queen’s Park, as well.

Macdonald’s Bellevue House in Kingston has become a museum to punch at his legacy and the anti-Canada crew didn’t stop there because they also cheered on the dismantling of the Queen Victoria statue in Winnipeg, the Egerton Ryerson statue in Toronto and the renaming of Ryerson University to Toronto Metropolitan University, while taxpayer’s money was used to scrub Henry Dundas’s name from Yonge-Dundas Square — now called Sankofa Square.

Canada has even seen a movement to try to make the treasured Anne of Green Gables more diverse and to drop the name pioneer from Black Creek Pioneer Village.

Hardly anybody lifted a finger to stop them. Most cowered as they worried about being labelled a racist.

Trump saw this and pounced on both the weakness and opportunity. But when he brought out a map on social media that showed an American flag covering all of Canada, he sent a message of disrespect and arrogance that would not be tolerated if done by Russia’s Vladimir Putin or China’s Xi Jinping — let alone by our nation’s so-called best friend.

Trudeau saying “there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States” was fine, but it was ironic that under this guy, no one knows exactly what Canada is anymore. With legal marijuana, massive debt financing, leaning on people to be vaccinated against COVID-19, a modern form of martial law to break up a lockdown protest, and Trudeau wearing blackface, Canada has become unrecognizable.

They changed the national anthem, suggested people say “peoplekind” instead of mankind, and did little to battle against Christian churches being burned while dropping everything to call out Islamophobia. The people who have been ruining Canada hate Canada and never tried to hide it.

“There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada,” Trudeau told the New York Times after his 2015 election. “There are shared values — openness, respect, compassion, willingness to work hard, to be there for each other, to search for equality and justice. Those qualities are what make us the first post-national state.”

Trudeau actually said new Canadians are “more” Canadian than those born here. And while he was famous for saying a “a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian” when it came to terrorists’ keeping their citizenship.  If anyone spoke out against him, he would call them racist or misogynist and was more than happy to see statues of Canadiana come down faster than the value of the dollar.

The good news is if Trudeau does in fact leave office, Canadians can reclaim their land and pride. It starts by dropping the anti-Canada agenda and put those statues back up. Every last one of them, from Pte. Alexander Watson in St. Catharines, to Alexander Wood on Church St., to the Terry Fox statue they removed from across from Parliament Hill and hid it away on hardly used Sparks St. in Ottawa.

One of the most important statues to erect again is the one at Queen’s Park, where Premier Doug Ford can let it be known he wants Macdonald released from his tomb there and shown off to the world as Canada’s first prime minister. That way, he’d send a message to Trump that not only is Canada out of bounds, but that Canadians are taking their country back.

Instead of ending up as an American state, it would be a sweet form of irony if it ended up being Trump who got Canadians off their hands to save the glorious Canada that Trudeau helped destroy.
