Ottawa:
The world has heard of the businessman of Donald Trump, then Donald Trump came, but amid growing resentment in Canada, the US President emerged in a new avatar – a observer.
Trump’s repeated threats to anxore Canada and his move to punish Tariff after making it the 51st state of the United States has breathed a new life in a superhero since the 1970s – Captain Canak, Canadian Captain’s Editions.
Canadian superhero, a red-red bodysuit characterized by cloured and maple leaf, is a major symbol of mask-Canada, a government agent with supernatural power, whose mission is to protect Canada and defend the sovereignty of the country from ‘bad people’.
Speaking about the revival of Captain Canak, 74-year-old Richard Comli, co-producing the comic book character, said, “Sudden Canadians are all looking at cannaks as a symbol. And it is originally, for them, Captain Canac is a symbol of freedom.”

‘Supervisor Trump and his sidekick musk’
Within a few days of assuming office, President Trump managed to incite an anti -American spirit among Canadian people and a sense of displeasure for them. All this began when he called the Canadian Prime Minister “Governor”, and thereafter we were in danger to enacted the large northern neighbor.
President Trump, who now finds himself as an observer in Canadian Comic Books and a graphic novel-based animated series, offered Canada “buying” Canada, in which the Canadian government rapidly created a counter-offer to buy American state California.
In addition, in most of his press briefing, President Trump began to refer to Canada as a “51st state”, stating how “a great step” would be “a great step” to ensure better national security for “all Americans”, while can also be financially intelligent for Canadians. Due to this, “not for sale, not Canada, not canada!” Had to read.
But for Canada, President Trump was behaving like a classic graphic novel ‘Supervilan’ – refusing to go – in this case, in his desire to anxize Canada. He imposed punitive tariffs – first at a bilateral level in many industries and regions – and then “mutual tariffs” and some non -composed people in an attempt to crush Canada financially. There was such a great pressure that the Interim Prime Minister of Canada called for a sudden Snap elections to bring a decisive government with a strong mandate to counter the dangers and tasks of Donald Trump.
So far, one of the immediate neighbors of Canada, the United States, and one of its closest colleagues for several decades, has removed themselves. Both governments became friends in a few weeks. Canadian people never felt more strongly that the American leadership could no longer be trusted.
Canadians, who are proud of their “liberal values and ideas”, also despised the way Elon Musk was allegedly “interference” in the government beyond the United States. Some also cited Kasturi’s footsteps to return the right-wing and far-flung in Europe as an example of their intentions.
And so, like some classic comic books, Musk was painted as Trump’s Sidekik as ‘Super Villain’ – both have been manhandles and thrown as a lord by superhero Captain Canak. Living in a frame, the comic shows that Donald Trump is being physically prevented by Captain Canac, in another chapter, it is being dragged by Trump and Kasturi by collar.
Captain Canak was back into action – and a quick hit in Canada. Shops and libraries have piled up their shelves, and Canadian people have seen lining to get a copy for themselves.
Canada needed an icon – in the 1970s and now
Superhero co -producer Mr. Comli said that he created a character in the 1970s – in a moment when he felt Canadians wanted their own icons, seeing that there was Captain America in the United States.
“I think in Canada, in the 70s, there was an undercrunt, so to speak, so I think the Canadian people started feeling so, you know, as they should accept the fact that we had our own country, and we had their own culture and proud the fact that we were Canadai,” Shri Comli said.
Since the first publication in 1975, the print worldwide has 4 million captain’s canak-theme comic books, books and graphic novels, Mr. Comli said, his original story imagined Canada as a world power, which faces challenges from the groups seeking to infiltrate, unstable and take countries.
“Surely, ever, never had any of those stories, it was America who was going to capture Canada,” said Mr. Comli.
For Captain Canak’s 50th anniversary issue cover, Mr. Comli depicted the superhero with his finger in Donald Trump, who wants Canada to become an American state. He said, “It is a lot of canadians, you know, canadians think of their identity as people and feel more united as Canadians. We think, well, we have stood up against these proposals,” he said.
Captain Canak and Mr. Comley have once again made a relationship with the Comic Book World since their debut in 1975, when Comly stepped back to help to increase their large family, there was a different story in “Captain Canak Reborn” with a brief return in the 90s.
Since 2012, when Mr. Comli entered a special licensing agreement with Chapterhouse Comics, Captain Cancak has become a mainstay in the comic book scene, expanding his reach with an animated web series and memorabilia.
Mr. Comli said that he has received more calls from Canadian companies who have expressed “deep interest” in the fictional character due to political tension between the two neighboring countries.
“So in a sense, we have to thank Mr. Trump for a little resurrection,” he said.
