Force out former Canadian leader, ignoring the last pair (7)
I believe the answer is:
extrude
'force out' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'former canadian leader ignoring the last pair' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'former' could be 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime) and 'ex' is located in the answer.
'leader' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rud' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extrude that I've seen before include "feature obviously?" , "Force out (through die)" , "Stick out" , "Eject" , "Thrust or force out" .)
