Summary
Donald Trump suggested Canada could become the U.S.’s “51st state,” claiming it would benefit Canadians through lower taxes and military protection.
The remark follows tensions over Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, which shocked Canadian leaders, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who likened it to betrayal.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed the annexation talk as unserious but unveiled a $1 billion border security plan to address U.S. concerns.
The escalating rhetoric, including insults from Trump ally Elon Musk, highlights strained Canada-U.S. relations ahead of Trump’s second term.
Libs are carrying water for the opposition when they give in to the border security scare.
Strange that you think the current border ramp-up has nothing to do with the orange asshole threatening our sovereignty.
We’re not typically a super nationalistic people, but threaten to back a coup to take us over and you might find out just how staunch we are to never be American.
