Jennifer Welsh on U.S. Interest in Canadian Politics | CBC News

Published: 24 April 2026

April 23, 2026 | Jennifer Welsh spoke to CBC News on MAGA's growing interest in Canadian politics and what it reveals about the Trump administration's ideals toward allies. Welsh argues that the right-wing U.S. portrayal of Canada tracks closely with the country's national security strategy, which casts allies as having "ideas and policy approaches that the far right in the United States, and the MAGA movement in particular, sees as corrosive of Western civilization." She places the trend alongside U.S. interference in Hungary, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom, and warns that with the Alberta separatism referendum approaching, Canadians should not rule out similar interventions at home. "It's part of a bigger attack on U.S. allies."
