VANCOUVER, British Columbia — President-elect Donald Trump's remarks that Canada should become the 51st state drew condemnation and a patriotic outburst on Saturday from a former Canadian prime minister who offered blunt advice to the incoming US leader: 'Give your head a shake!'
Jean Chrétien, who was Canada's prime minister from 1993 to 2003, joined a chorus of officials from the northern US neighbor who say Trump's remarks are no longer a joke and may undermine America's closest ally.
