Amid the turmoil going on in Canada's government now, with the coming departure of Justice Trudeau from its leadership ranks, analysts have suggested that globetrotting banker Mark Carney has a path to replacing him.

But a candidate who right now is considered an also-ran has made a stunning demand that Canada work with nuclear-equipped allies to create a "a closer security relationship that guarantees our security in a time when United States can be a threat."

The comments are from Chrystia Freeland, who said, "The U.S. is turning predator, and so what Canada needs to do is work closely with our democratic allies, our military allies. I would start with our Nordic partners, specifically Denmark who is also being threatened, and our NATO European allies. I would be sure that France and Britian were there who possess NUCLEAR WEAPONS and I will be working urgently with these partners to build a closer security relationship that guarantees our security in a time when United States can be a threat."
