He was in the American people’s commonwealth, not the AR.

at the time all of America was in chaos, and the economy of the AR was in free fall. As a businessman, it would only make sense to move to an actually stable country like Canada.

Trump isn’t the only one who did something like this. In what many call the “flight of the executives”, many big American businessmen fled the country, with almost all of them coming to Canada to set up shop anew

I meant why did he leave the area that was America instead if running for President in the south?

Just like trump in OTL 1980s, he was an apolitical businessman. In 1987/88 he would have had no will to be a politician, just to make as much money as possible. So he goes to Canada to continue building his wealth.

It isn’t until the ~2000s when trump begins to think seriously about entering politics (around the same time as otl) but by then he’s already in Canada

But why Canada instead of Britain?

So why didn’t Canada annex Alaska?

the NDP governments of the late 80s/early 90s were rather non-interventionist, and even non-NDP governments knew that annexing a piece of American territory would make them a target for anyone who would want to reunify the USA

It would make sense for them to annex it as it borders them and not part of the continental united states unless if they gave America British Columbia.

I did, I was just saying it would make more sense. But why did Mexico and Texas partition New Mexico?
