If he had kept it in that meeting, it would have been just a joke. After all, in that context it was just part of the banter of the discussion.

But he's been constantly bringing it up over and over again, in policy contexts (like the tariffs and the upcoming trade war). Which takes it out of the in-the-moment "joke" category into the "deliberate choice" category.

Sure. Because Trump likes to troll the media and governments he deems unfriendly to him (and Canada's Labour party fits that bill). If Pierre Poilievre wins the next election, this talk will all but disappear.

Bear in mind there is a certain element of "turnabout is fair play". Would you say that other countries have been open and welcoming to the second Trump term, issuing glowing statements, or have they been more along the lines of "Not this effing guy again"?
