<p>Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said during an interview this week that &#8220;proud Canadians&#8221; specifically find their identities in &#8220;not&#8221; being an American.</p>
<p>Trudeau — who announced he was resigning as the leader of the Liberal Party, thus bringing his tenure as prime minister to a close in the coming months — made the remarks during a CNN interview on Tuesday afternoon.</p>
<p>CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper asked Trudeau about President-elect Donald Trump mocking him as the &#8220;governor&#8221; of Canada and saying that Canada should become America&#8217;s 51st state.</p>
<p>&#8220;Did you have any interaction with him today?&#8221; Tapper asked.</p>

<p>&#8220;No, not today, but that&#8217;s not going to happen,&#8221; Trudeau said. &#8220;Canadians are incredibly proud of being Canadian. One of the ways we define ourselves most easily is, well, we&#8217;re not American.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There is such a depth of pride that that&#8217;s not actually an issue,&#8221; he said. &#8220;What I think is happening in this is President Trump, who&#8217;s a very skillful negotiator, is getting people to be somewhat distracted by that conversation, to take away from the conversation around 25% tariffs on oil and gas and electricity and steel and aluminum and lumber and concrete, and everything the American consumers buy from Canada is suddenly going to get a lot more expensive if he moves forward on these tariffs.&#8221;</p>

<p dir="ltr" lang="en">How does Justin Trudeau define our deep cultural and national identity?</p>
<p>&#8220;Not American&#8221;</p>
<p>He needs to step down as PM before he embarrasses us further. <a href="https://t.co/I15gRlCoOz">pic.twitter.com/I15gRlCoOz</a></p>
