MOSCOW (Sputnik) – US President-elect Donald Trump has suggested that Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky consider running for the position of Prime Minister of Canada, which he jokingly referred to as “soon to be known as the Governor of Canada.””I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One’ as he is known in Ice Hockey circles. I said, ‘Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, soon to be known as the Governor of Canada – You would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.’ He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement. It would be so much fun to watch,” Trump said on Truth Social. Earlier in the month, Trump said that making Canada the 51st state of the United States would significantly reduce costs for Canadians, who would save on taxes and military protection.
