U.S. president-elect Donald Trump is once again urging hockey great Wayne Gretzky to run for prime minister — or “governor” — of Canada.

Trump first floated the idea on the Truth Social platform just before Christmas, writing: “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.’”

Trump added: “He had no interest.”

However, during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida Tuesday, Trump repeated the idea, tacking it on to a complaint about Canada’s military readiness.

“They don’t essentially have a military,” he told reporters. “They have a very small military. They rely on our military. It’s all fine but, you know, they gotta pay for that.”

He went on to say: “I have so many great friends, one of them is The Great One, Wayne Gretzky. I said run for prime minister, you’ll win in a — it’ll take two seconds. But he said, ‘Am I going to run for prime minister or governor, you tell me.’ I said, ‘I don’t know, let’s make it governor. I like it better.'”
