Preston Manning: Trump’s “51 state” comments should be treated as a joke

Candice Malcolm interviewed the Godfather of Canada’s populist conservative movement, Preston Manning.

Manning had sharp criticism for Canada’s federal leaders and the media, saying they are acting “foolishly rather than sensibly” when it comes to dealing with US President Donald Trump.

Manning says that Trump is a businessman, and we must cut past his rhetoric and sense of humour, and strike a better deal with him to ensure energy security and national security in both countries.
