The issue of Canada becoming the 51st state arose from a conversation in Mar-a-Lago between Prime Minister Trudeau and U.S President Donald Trump.
As Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined, Trudeau said if President Trump was to make the Canadian government pay reciprocal tariffs, open the USMCA trade agreements to force reciprocity, and/or balance economic relations on non-tariff issues, then Canada would collapse and cease to exist.
In essence, Canada cannot survive as a free and independent north American nation, without receiving all the one-way benefits from the U.S. economy. To wit, President Trump then said, if Canada cannot survive in a balanced rules environment, including putting together their own military and defenses (which it cannot), then Canada should become the 51st U.S state.
This is the first point of contention for the gender-correct qualifications of Canadian Ambassador to the U.S, Kirsten Hillman. Ambassador Hillman appears on Fox News Sunday’ to comment on U.S.-Canada relations, trade negotiations and how a federal election could impact the relationship between the two nations.
Ms. Hillman says Canadians will never give up their sovereignty. Let me repeat the non-pretending reality. If Canada loses all of the one-way benefits it receives from its relationship with the United States, the Canadian system of government and economics collapses.
Closed and non-competitive banking and finance sectors; a small military budget that does not even reach NATO expectations; an assembly or ‘pass through’ economy that doesn’t have heavy industry but instead assembles goods from foreign nations for transport into the United States; one-way excessive tariffs on American products. If these are ended, the lifestyle of the Canadian people immediately changes. Hence Trudeau saying, Canada cannot exist.
At the current rate of economic conflict, the Canadian dollar will lose 50% of its value by mid-summer 2025. This is the unavoidable reality Ms Hillman and the Canadian left-wing government will not openly discuss.
The only way for Canada to be a sovereign nation unattached to the United States, is if they drop all of their climate-change initiatives, drop their liberal economic rules and regulations, begin a system of heavy industry production again and get back to using cheap energy production as the fuel to drive it.
Canada would then need to discontinue most social welfare programs and instead divert that money to their military budget.
The leftist economic policies are why the Canadian banking system has to be closed, and all competition removed from the internal banking and finance equation. If reciprocity is demanded and enforced, Canada collapses; it’s that simple.
First things first. Apologies to the Canadian truckers and funds to make them whole…. Very first thing. Oh, any company that towed and impounded the towed trucks, shuttered.
A good start!
A better start, IMO, would be for Canadians to prove themselves worthy of being Americans by staging a revolution that establishes them as a “free” nation with a corresponding bill of rights that mirrors the US system. If they don’t/won’t prove that they are willing to fight for something, they’ll fall for anything, and we have plenty of those here now.
They are commies. They won’t.
Canadians need to be reeducated for 25–30 years before they can be allowed to become a state and vote in U.S. elections, unless the goal is to turn this country forever blue. And, realistically speaking, this reeducation will never happen.
So, I am honestly questioning President Trump’s judgment on this…
This is just another bump-stock ban-style idea that sounded “right” in the moment.
I sure as hell don’t want them as a state. Two more prog senators? Just take them over as a territory.
Ten years as a territory is the minimum according to law if I recall correctly.
Anybody may check me on this. I also agree theat maybe 50 years as a territory may be called for to eliminate the socialist thinking. Wouldn’t hurt us to eliminate socialist thinking here. either.
10 Provinces, is 20 Senators, and as many House Reps as California.
But Good News. From the extreme Left to those right of center, we agree, you don’t want us, and we aren’t joining with our friendly neighbours.
PDJT says one state not twenty. There is no reason to keep the provinces as is.
The consequences of their trade war should begin the process of changing the political attitudes.
There are only about 40 million people in Canada, only those over 18 vote, and only 65 % of those would vote blue. Not enough votes to have any effect. In fact I think you would find far more conservative voters if their options were democrat or republican, as opposed to five parties most of whom are socialist to some degree.
I don’t want Canada as a state, we go to Canada every year to fish and the general population even in the rural areas where we go is still to far left. Voting red in Canada is still like voting blue in the US.
an influx of new citizen’s north will dilute the base.
Interesting point, imagine the impact on S. Korea if they and N. Korea were “unified”. NK’s population is so different after decades of marxist terror and brainwashing, they would distort the nature of SK’s fabric instantly and radically. Something to think about.
The U.S. economy is 40% Government. Federal, State, County, Cities.
And you’re not “Commies’?
Good point, however we are going to save our nation or die trying. The cake and eat it too crowd think they’re some kind of royalty like the E-peew. Rules for thee but not for them.
Nations that are controlled by those that are not ruled by God will reap the consequences.
If we were Commies, you’d love us instead of talking about nuking us.
I agree in questioning DJT on this. However, he must see the bigger picture. Canada will/would collapse. Then what?
They are ripe for a take over, possibly by China? It is my understanding that China has a strong foothold in their real-estate, government and businesses.
The US will have to take over Canada for both economic reasons for its citizens and security reasons for the US.
Canadian citizens are too proud to admit their government has brought their country into the crapper and its citizens have blindly followed.
They come to the US and pay cash for their healthcare. What does that tell you?
And what bank would agree to freeze the trucker’s bank accounts???
They all did back when it was fashionable. Ask Crystalmeth Freeland..
They all did until the Bank Run got started. In 24 hours, they stopped. Including Trudeau withdrawing Marshall Law.
In other words, Canada as presently constituted is a parasite economy.
It feeds off of America.
“Correct. The parasites are thrashing hard.”
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1894756352544673852
Exactly.
Canada is a parasitoid.
Parasitoids eventually kill the host if not treated.
What possible good can come from such language?
After the Second World War Canada had the third largest Navy in the world. Things have changed here and in Europe but we did birth the first movement against the Covid tyranny while America did nothing. So, while we have adjusted to our large cousin to the south we have also been affected as every country in the West has, by a tidal wave of Marxism. We are not parasites.
All Trump wants is equal trade. Your Canadian Government charges large tariffs on our products. Previously we did not reciprocate. Now we are. Trump also wants to stop the fentanyl from coming into our country from Canada. Your government has not done much to stop this probably because China is paying your poltiicans to look the other way.
That is utter nonsense. Donald J. Trump seeded and signed the USMCA/NAFTA II. Now you are breaking your word.
Not agreement capable?
Then why all the tariffs? Why is your military so weak? Why the hostile banking regulations?
At some point Canada is not playing nice. I would argue they are hiding their socialist tendencies behind tariffs because socialist countries ALWAYS overspend what they earn, going into debt because of government healthcare and social programs they can’t afford. Canada is now crying “foul” because they have been exposed. They can’t play nice or the house of cards collapses.
Sorry about your luck. I travelled to Canada in 2019 on my way to Alaska via the Al-Can Highway driving a U-Haul to help an American Air Force captain relocate. It was the trip of a lifetime. The guards at the border however treated me like dirt. I sat in the parking lot for two hours while they made me get a bond for the contents of my truck. They never smiled, never had a conversation, he was a complete jerk. I didn’t know he was going to let me in until I heard noise from the stamp come down at his desk. He thought he was cool with his gun on his side, while I have those rights back here in the States all day long. Pfft.
The Canadian people I met along the way were great, yet somehow you guys have a lot Indians running your gas stations. How did that happen!? I have nothing but love for Canadians. Your government, not so much.
Funny stuff bleated about Canada. Canada has plenty of Parasites. About as many proportionally as the USA.
When I get up at 4 in the morning, I think of myself as a foolish Worker Bee. A parasite? Easy to type on your keyboard.
So when the $200 BILLION dollars Canada is given yearly is gone and reciprocal tariffs are in place, exactly what is left of the Canadian economy?
The United States did nothing to your country…your representatives did.
How has the US been paid by Canada? Canadians have, overall, sneered at Americans, told us we were stupid, looked down their noses at us. Canadians have watched the implosion of their country and did nothing. They have flexed their UK-egotistical worldview, and just look what it’s done for Canadians.
The host is leaving, as the guests have worn out their welcome.
Yes, we most definitely are parasites.
Proof of our true stature will be found in our ability to stand in the face of reciprocol tariffs.
Frankly, I do not blame the Canadian people—I blame our past leadership and the ignorant U.S. electorate for letting Canada take advantage of our economy for decades. We made a ‘bad deal.’ We are ignorant, lazy, and uninformed voters. Maybe not we in particular, but certainly the American voters in general.
Our voting, our democracy™ is mostly performative. We do not participate, we do not ask the right question, we are not pragmatic, we are ‘exceptional’ people and we behave as such… As a result, we have quite literally outsourced the definition of reality to a small group of technocrats in nondescript offices in Washington, D.C., whose names we will never know and who self-selected advocacy for issue and whose interests diverge severely from those of We the People.
That said, letting Canada join as a U.S. state is a very, very bad idea and should not even become a mainstream conversation topic.
FACE THE FACTS. The USA was sold out by Americans, not Canadians. The U.S. Chamber of Foreign (Chinese and Mexican) Commerce sold you down the river.
It was American Corporations, the U.S. Senate, House and Presidency that put Mexico into the NAFTA agreement, killing U.S. and Canadian jobs.
And Grifter Bill Clinton, and Dubya got China into the WTO. Remember how Sam Walton sold only U.S. made products before China became Walmart’s number 1 supplier?
Yes
Why Do 90% of Canadians Live Near the US Border?
One of the main reasons why such a large majority of Canadians live near the US border is the historical, economic, and geographical factors that have shaped the population distribution in Canada. Canada shares a long border with the United States, and historically, there has been significant interaction and trade between the two countries. This proximity to the US border provides Canadians with easy access to economic opportunities, cultural exchanges, and connectivity with the rest of North America.
Of course climate in the north is part of that too.
https://www.ncesc.com/geographic-pedia/do-most-canadians-live-within-100-miles-of-the-us-border/
I was talking Friday about restaurants with some who live in southern Ontario. Most of the closest chain restaurants they want to patronize require them to cross the border and go to Buffalo.
Chain restaurants are not much to celebrate.
Because it’s warmer?
Letting Canada suffer the economic consequences of a level playing field will make them either truly robust and independent or begging to become an American territory.
Of course Climate ….is part of that too.
Wow. Do you believe there are warm sandy beaches in the Canadian North?
Of course most Canadians live as far south as possible.
Can you live with 3 Seasons of Winter ?
It never used to be that way. I watched as Canadians became more and more socialist and wanting more stuff for nothing. It has been one hell of a change from the 1950s to today. In my work career I was an executive for two different U S companies in Canada and our philosophies were much the same……………… Things started to move seriously in what I would call the wrong direction when Trudeau the first was elected. Successive levels of government became more left wing with each passing decade, to the point where even conservatives seem to be liberal lite. Is there a fix to be had, I do not know, as the U S is fighting a serious battle against the left all across the nation. If America does not succeed in crushing the left and illegal immigration then Canada will indeed be finished as a free country as it is just about finished right now.
From what you described, Canada’s pull to the “left wing liberal lite” mirrors our own gubmint’s transition to feckless, backstabbing RINOs acting in concert with democrats to destroy the USA. It would seem that our own disfunctional UNiparty purposefully accelerated this lopsided relationship with Canada, just as we have made similar bad economic deals throughout Europe.
My point is the common denominator for all of these bad economic decisions.. is US.
This gives me hope that President Trump can show the American people how to turn it all around, once and for all, to everyone’s ultimate benefit. Up to now, all we have done is crippled other nations by *encouraging* socialism and unnecessary dependencies that seriously undermine national sovereignty.
It was all done by design to benefit one world totalitarians. But now that we have their number, the free world is gearing up for an extreme makeover.
Thank God *we* have the world’s top designer.
Add all the draft dodgers from the 60’s and their leftist influences to date and you have the problem today .

Jagmeat simply suggests taking on more debt. that his country, which relies on America’s economy to survive, thus fueling faster, the sinking ship known as Canada.
Make no mistake, before President Trump came on the scene our own gubmint was fueling our own economic collapse, as well. None of it is accidental.
As long as we have a steady stream of *posers* infiltrating DC for personal gain with no serious repercussions, the New/ One World ‘reset’ is inevitable.
We only have President Trump for four more years, at best. We must act *decisively* to save our Constitutional Republic. It is now or never.
Fair enough. But are you telling me the USA has low Debt? Both countries have been out of control with PINK politicians. Name them whatever you want.
14 years ago you had a budget. Now it is Continuing Resolutions, over and over, even with your current Admin.
In case you missed it, the strategy is to spend a bunch more money, to try to create the catalyst of growth in the economy. Possible, sure. Certain? We shall see.
Interesting your defense of Canada depends on your hatred of America. Why don’t you try convincing Americans how AWESOME Canada is rather than pointing out how horrible America/Americans are?
Is this all that they have remaining in their Talking Points Arsenal?? Making Canada a Safe Place to where trannies can go?
Boy, that is really going to show the world about what a bunch of meanies we are in the USA.
Let’s trade the USA trannies for some Canadian Truckers. Then each side gets the population that they want.
Canadian Truckers can be viewed as asylum seekers just like the South African whites. Get them into the USA. We need farmers (So Africans) and we need truckers to replace the illegals that are driving trucks right now.
I can’t wait to see the import tariff Canada puts on us for the trannies! 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe, but she may just be butt-butt ugly.
Hey Kirsten, why the long face? 😏
I see what PDJT wants. And I see the advantages. But Canada joining the USA as the 51st states means adding another Commifornia to the US.
My nephew lives there. He lives there for more than 70 yrs now. We never talk politics because he’s lefty you won’t believe. Anti Trump, get’s his info from Politico etc. 75% of the Canadians think the same as he does.
How can the US overcome the problem of adding a second commifornia with regard to the House and Senate?
You have the same thoughts I’ve had since the talk of Canada becoming a state. Their Government is too leftist and it’s the people who voted that type Government into office. I wouldn’t want that number of leftist voters to become citizens of the US either. I don’t think conservatives would ever win another election if that happened.

“We’ve been on the ground since 2015.”
Thank you for posting that. I hope President Trump makes that final decision to revoke the legal status of the Ukranians.
Canada has been a loyal Stooge for NATO (the USA/CIA) from the beginning.
Funny that.
The Crown owned you since far earlier, and has never relinquished title.
It would be a thoroughly blue 51st state. With a whole lot of liberal congressmen.
Bad idea.
You make it 10 states, that balances out the left right crap. Leaves far fewer left wingers with the ability to out vote conservative Canadians.
20 States is 20 Senators. And as many House Reps as California.
A Territory.
With none admitted as states until they are sane and have a republican form of government.
Imo, Canada becoming the 51st is not a real proposal.
President Trump is trying to show Canadians the reality of their situation. They need to become more independent, not depend on us funding their socialism, and most importantly embrace President Trump’s trade reciprocity ideas.
MCGA.
Make it a US territory with the condition it can’t become a full fledged state with voting rights for 50 years.
Another Guam?
Or, Puerto Rico
Don’t tell Rep Hank Johnson!
At least fifty years, because Canadians really have no tradition of a participatory, direct political system or of the concept that the people confer authority to the government, rather than the government bestowing “rights” on the people. Just think, for a moment, about people who tolerate a government whose “health care” system encourages its patients to kill themselves. That’s not a good indicator of people being ready for actual self-government.
Canada is too vast a territory to manage successfully. It is comprised of 10 provinces and 3 territories, each with a population between .5 million and 14.2 million. It would be best to accept Canada as a territory and allow the individual provinces to petition for Statehood when a deal is made. The remaining territories would remain as they are.
This means an addition of 10 potential states to our union, most of which border the USA. It will take a few years for this to be accomplished, and migration in both directions will occur. A balance in political aversions will balance out. Just an idea that might work out well for all.
I would have carve outs that exclude their cesspool liberal zones. They can become a series of Lichtenstein countries surrounded by red zones.
I really do not want the Chinese nationals, muslim infiltrators, Indian transplants, and white liberals to be included in the new USA-Canada alliance. We do not need any more of these types.
No thank you. Just stop trading with us. Full stop.
Apparently you need nothing from Canada.
Of course, you can try an Anschluss, but there won’t be any cheering crowds.
Enough with the “territories”. Let’s focus on the contiguous 48 and Alaska. Hawaii is now worse than California and Canada. Let it go.
I don’t see hin saying he want’s it. I see him saying it’s inevitable.

Indeed.

Do not forget that in Canada you are required to refinance your home mortgage every 5 years to the current mortgage rate.
Can you imagine how horrible that would be if you initially got a 4% mortgage rate and then, in 5 years it goes up to 8% on already overpriced real estate? What if you and your spouse got a 3% loan and your spouse passes away? You could still afford the 3% mortgage payment but have to sell your home because the mortgage rate went up to 8%.
It is a horrible situation and is designed to help the banksters. No consumer would ever refinance upward. Many consumers would refinance if they could get a lower rate. So, it only helps mortgage lenders.
Make them a territory. Pass a law to require all states and cities to have a balanced budget without borrowing money to cover a deficit.
You’re right.
Trying to swallow all of Canada 🇨🇦 would be like the fisherman in Hemingway’s story, ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ – the fish 🐟 is too big for his boat 🚤 and rather than let it go, he struggles to keep it… yet loses the catch to the sharks 🦈 of the sea.
We don’t need/want all of Canada 🍁 – just a piece.
Say, Alberta… maybe Saskatchewan. Maybe the Yukon. And perhaps a Maritime province… or two.
Some (Alberta, Sask) as pretty reliable conservative states… the rest as territories/
commonwealths (Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico)
BC, Ontario… Quebec??
Arrivederci, moose jockeys!!
President Trump is wheeling and dealing. No one wants Canada, and especially their totalitarian elites. :Let’s see what the deal looks like before drawing conclusions. It is entertaining to watch the idiots on TV make fools out of themselves..
This could be countered in the electoral college, at least, by Southern Illinois joining Indiana, Eastern Oregon joining Idaho and other such movements. This would change the electoral map and give the leftist urban enclaves less weight.
Oh.. Canada !

What an escape from reality from the former Republican Lt Gov of Maryland blaming the Republicans for wanting to close the government.

Canada got on the wrong side of the USA in the ‘60s when they became a haven for draft-dogging hippies.
It has been going down hill ever since, turning into a satellite of communist Cuba.
It is time they paid the price ….. and President Trump’s America First policies will do just that.
MAGA isn’t just our motto, it is our duty …… and our tariffs!
Take out Reagan from the equation and the US has been going down that same hill that Canada and Europe have been going down.
Nope. Canada should not “pay the price” for saving a whole lot of young Americans from being forced to participate and slaughtered in an unnecessary and immoral war.
Hanoi Jane, is that you?
My dad watched one of his friends get blown to pieces by a pint-sized sapper (child suicide bomber) at Khe Sahn over Gulf of Tonkin (that never happened like there were no WMDs). I knew a Korean War vet and I don’t blame anyone that wanted to avoid being forced into a conflict they don’t agree with. Which is why we never use the draft now.
Ha. Not old enough for that. But if you want to feed your body and your soul to the UN and MIC then knock yourself out.
Would you saying that if Kamala had decided to institute a draft to send members of your family off to fight in Ukraine?
We sent my parent’s generation into a war hamstrung by politicians and no plan to actually win, then abandoned it as soon as the political heat was too high.
The Dems were prepping to reinstate the draft (now including our daughters) because of failed recruitment targets and the desire to put troops on the ground in Ukraine. One look at all my Godkids who’d be forced into that Satanic meatgrinder and I no longer hold ill-will towards those who sought to avoid the military adventurism of the elites.
In years past, I’d have been on the other side of the argument, but with all we know now about how corrupt our Government has become, I have to agree.
But the wanna-be Empire made a total mistake with Vietnam. A slaughter of many people for no good reason. A total waste of lives. The draft dodgers were eventually proven correct.
Wow!
Without pretending Canada like the rest of our foreign allies has been sucking of the USA teat far to long.
What about Canada’s membership in the British Commonwealth? How does that factor into the equation?
Very good question. I guess they would have to forego all the wonderful benefits from that–like not electing their Prime Minister. In fact, it’d be bye-bye parliamentary system, too, and citizens might actually bear responsibility for their own governance. That alone would represent a considerable culture shock.
In an irony that, if not supreme, is definitely a contender, the U.S. has been trending toward a “pass through” economy for some time. The makers of fundamental goods have been offshoring, their goods are subsequently imported, and either assembled into finished products or simply marketed for sale to Americans. America’s “value-added” has moved toward services with no tangible product. That’s part of what the Trump agenda is trying to correct. Yes, it’s much more advanced in Canada, but we’ve got a good case of the disease here.
Too true, alas.
Service economies suck!
For years the Canadian dollar was $0.75 to the U.S. $1.00. Today it is down to $0.70.
FAFO!! I have friends up there who are as left as this woman. They don’t look for honest news, only what the likes of CNN and MSNBC gives them. We have the wrong President in office for them to continue to be so close minded. It is time to stop warning them about what is going to happen and just do it!
CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) is state supported media akin to CNN & MSNBC in outlook. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn USAID was funding them as part their world-wide propaganda efforts.
The news on CBC is unwatchable, especially on all things Trump.
US A.I.D. funded the BBC. A claw back is in order
Could we keep the flag for the 51st state? I really like the flag. But their football league has to go. Just expand the NFL or XFL leagues.

Great Article. It is laid out clearly and concisely.
Canada has choices to make about their future.
President Trump has simply been bringing the issues to the surface so all can see those issues and the choices Canada needs to make for their future. The choice is theirs.
As well as the past choices that Canada has made that have brought them to this point.
Here in the US I will honk my car horn at Monday noon ET in support of President Trump. Good luck Ottawa and Parliament Hill.
But at least they won that hockey game🤗🇨🇦

Apparently, Canada controls Pornhub.
So there’s that.
canada doesn’t collapse. The leftist/globalist cabal enslaving Canada collapses.
The problem is not the Canadian people. The problem is the corrupt Canadian government.
The brave Canadian Truckers exposed the corrupt government. They showed us the difference between freedom and liberty.
The Canadian Truckers leaned on the “fence penning us all in” to show the rest of the world that there is in fact a fence. The fence is the difference between freedom and liberty.
We did not have liberty buy only the appearance of liberty.
We were free to roam around as long as we all stayed inside the fence. When the Canadian Truckers leaned on the fence, the corrupt Canadian government was forced to expose themselves by shutting down the banking, comms, etc (the fence). In doing so, they exposed that the citizens do not have liberty.
Well done truckers. Well done. We got a mighty Convoy!
Well said! I donated to the Canadian Truckers in hopes that Madame Trudeau would come knocking on my door.
Sorry MM, I disagree. Most Canadian people will never give up their socialist welfare programs to go towards a capitalist economy. There’s only a small percentage of Canadians who would be for this. The large percent believe the US owes Canada.
I worked in Canada in the early 90’s where I met and worked with some super nice people but they all wanted their welfare state along with their month long holidays. Project planning was a near impossible task to merge a Canadian division to a US division. After 6 months trying to accomplish this I advised moving the Canadian corporate systems to the USA. I was ignored but it ended up happening anyway a year or so later.
If Canada were to join the U.S.—even though they allegedly do not want to—it would become a gigantic blue state with enough electoral college votes to turn this country blue in perpetuity. Just think of it: approximately 34 million Canadians vote for the radical Left. There are fewer than 6.1 million people living in the conservative provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, out of 41 million people! The rest of the Canadians are reliably far-left.
Hard pass!
Why did no conservative journalist at the White House ever ask President Trump this question?
We know why no liberal MSM propagandist would ever do that…
We don’t want all those Canadian socialists voting in the US.
And these humanoid barnacles hurl insults and abuse at us the whole time they’re being scraped off the hull of the US economy.
To be clear, I’m talking about the bureaucrats. I’ve met some good, hard-working Canadians over the years. Decent people. But they’re shoved into the background now to make way for these preening and haughty parasites. It’s time to destroy globalism and rebuild your nation!
Who wants an entire country of people who expect free healthcare?
We already have 1/2 the US expecting it.
In my Florida community about 20 percent of the homes are owned by Canadian sunbirds. They are under newly increased financial and regulation pressure and more are finding it harder to maintain living here in the winter. It’s my opinion that while extremely polite people, most have little understanding of their true national system due to the relentless distortion on news by their even more contaminated media. Socialism is a fact of life with freedoms constrained just as their taxes (general sales, provincial etc) constraint them economically. All the green economy stuff, their place in the new world order, the woke politicians, socialized health care have been with them so long they think it’s normal. Having a discussion is difficult as they just don’t see the differences and most think Trump is a disaster. They will have great difficulty when their inevitable collapse occurs and they realize they have been led downtrend wrong path for decades. I do wish them well but don’t want them as voting members of a 51st state.
Agreed. I believe Trump knows if they collapse, the US will have to come to their aid in order to prevent China or Russia from “saving” them financially & be right on our doorstep. He’s trying to get something in return before it happens.
I’ think I’d rather the US absorbed CANADA than have another country on our boarder.
When the Canadians wake up to the LIE like we did they will vote RED
Don’t think Trump really wants CANADA. He wants them to stand on their own if they can’t Canadians will be begging to become a STATE!!
We (US) do not need a “loss leader” product in our lineup.
They’re going to learn about the new reality the hard way.
Personally I am against annexing Canada as a state. The population as a whole is still to radical liberal. It would tip the election in the Democrats favor for a generation at the least.
Isn’t it amazing (now it’s becoming clear) that we’ve allowed all these pseudo-sovereigns to play “country” by propping them up over the decades? Europe, was devastated after the War, but Canada?
I wonder, but if we did collapse them all, who would run to China and join the Belt and Noose initiative first? My bet is Canada.
For years, I’ve been upset that we’ve played the chooch and I’m glad we’re finally realizing that we need to focus on US and take care of our own. By propping everyone else up, all we’ve done is allow China to focus on what it wants instead of playing defense.
47 is on the right track.
It’s long past time to END the stain of socialism in the Americas….

NO MERCY!
Gads. And let all those loony leftest numskull politicians into our system, and all the idiots voting them into office? We’ve got far, far to many of the latter pinheads here, we don’t need any more.
I heard someone refer to Canada as a bastard son who wants to split the wealth.
If Canada collapses it would then be easy pickings for CCP. A good example of this is to look at the African nations who sold their soul to China. I don’t think Trump or any decent American would want China next door to us.
Something has to be done before any of this can happen. Can certain economic events collapse CCP? Supposedly they have been on the brink of economic collapse for years.
As I read through the article & all these comments, all that comes to mind is Canada is the adult child living In America’s basement playing video games all day while using our credit card to order UberEats. Time to get out, get a job, your own place, stop the wasteful spending & start paying the bills required for survival.
AND….
It’s somebody else’s kid….
Do we need another California…but worse?
All these clowns we like to mock?
Senators: Hillman, Carney
Governor: Trudeau
Local School board Karen: Freeman
30-40 New Democrats in Congress as bad or worse than AOC.
And that’s if the individual provinces aren’t separate states.
And a huge problem of foreign nationals who will need to be kicked out.
I get the humor of it all. The reality?
It’s not good.
Maybe we’re better subsidizing them and setting up some sort of export program to move American liberals to Canada and we’ll welcome conservative white Canadians.
All these countries (EU, Canada) are able to give their people free healthcare because we pay for their defense. Then they stick tariffs on all our products as well.
Trump has no illusions of Canada becoming the 51st state. He is making a point that if we are subsidizing their entire government and providing their defese then they might as well be the 51st state.
Carney is Net Zero Man.
There is no chance he will drop Canada’s climate change policies. He worships at the altar of Gaia.
He is a slithery globalist snake whose first act as PM was with great fanfare to sign away the despised consumer carbon tax in full view of media and their cameras, this order required to be filed as an “Order-in-Council” on the books.
Only it seems it has not been filed according to some sharp eyed Canadians who have investigated and are still looking to see where it is. Maybe it takes time, or maybe…
Carney cannot participate in Parliamentary discussions or debates nor vote on legislation as he has not been elected, only installed. So how can he sign this economy crushing tax away without Parliamentary action?
I am no student of Canadian government or protocols, but there seems to be just a bit of sleight of hand going on here which should alert President Trump and team that they will be dealing with a man whose handshake/word are worth essentially squat.
Trudeau and Freeland were bad enough. This specimen is going to be infinitely worse.
By orders of magnitude.
I am looking forward to the FO which others have discovered to their shock to be delivered to Carney, the next overweening poseur in the queue.
What’s really going on in Canada wrt the tariffs is a regime change operation.
Trudeau quit because he’s as popular as rectal cancer. He’s the first Communist/WEF victim of Trump’s election. He could not survive and so he stepped down hoping Carney either gives the Liberal party a chance later this year. Or, Carney takes the fall for Justin.
As the CAD declines and tariffs start to bite, all the bluster by the Canadian government will be shown as bluster. As they retaliate, it’ll come off as feckless spittle from a dying regime.
The “Conservatives” up there aren’t much better. But the Canadian public hasn’t yet had their Mitt Romney moment when they realize it’s a rigged game.
A 51st state isn’t the goal. Regime change is the goal.
Basically, despite all the huffing and puffing and pearl clutching handwringing going on by the Canadian Left. The truth is that Canada, as it has existed for many years, cannot continue to do so without being subsidized by American taxpayers. Welcome to the real world!
Atmospherics.
Energy. Minerals. Trade. Value.
“Canada cannot survive as a free and independent north American nation, without receiving all the one-way benefits from the U.S. economy. ”
Not True.
Canada cannot continue as the WEF/Biden-Woke Crazyland. True. And Canada cannot continue to be European Model of Welfare State. True. BUT. The United States couldn’t continue on the path of Self-Destruction either.
Canada can pull in her horns. Pay people for doing actual work and live comfortable lives, without all the Dead Weight, just as the United States is try to do now.
Don’t want to trade with Canada? So be it.
And yes. Canada needs to increase Military Spending. And accept Trump’s suggestion about putting them on the border to prevent drugs moving, both ways.
How long has Dominion been handling Canadian sElections?
When exactly do we rid our Countries of dodgy voting practices? That would be the most productive thing we could do moving forward.
We are hurtling toward the Midterms, folks.
Agree with the analysis, but I’m only interested in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Not sure what to do about Ontario and Quebec, but I really don’t want another liberal state. Maybe the first three can be states and the rest can be territories or something (no reps, senate seats, or electoral votes).
I still think Trump is just trolling them
Alberta and Saskatchewan, yes… not so sure about Manitoba – from what I read, they tend leftist.
Maybe Yukon and some of the Maritimes as territories or commonwealths.
Remember the phrase:
“The Left takes Trump literally… but not seriously…while The Right (MAGA) takes Trump seriously… but not literally” (Salena Zito).
Trump is making a point – Canada needs to gets its act together, or things will change.
For the better,
Or for the worse.
DJT isn’t ‘invading Canada’…
He’s making it crystal clear (with crayons 🖍 for heaven’s sake)
That the current path Canada is on, leads to disaster.
They must choose wisely.
The way Canada is organized, it would have to join the U.S. as at least 10 states and several territories. That would imply another 20 senators and 70 or so representatives. So 90 – 100 electoral votes, probably splitting in favor of the Dems as of today. Is that a good idea?
The FAFO Doctrine.
The “51st state” paradigm is frying some minds, but it need not be the only paradigm. Another, from the semantics of the SAT exams, is US:Canada::China:NKorea. PDJT has thus far been too polite to Canada to propound the latter context.
Hey! That’s a great analogy!
I remember ‘sitting’ for the SAT when it was paper and a #2 Pencil ✏️
(I sought an advantage:
used a #1 ✏️ – fills in the circle ⭕️ darker and faster – if you save 1 second for 120 questions, you have an extra 2 minutes to think 🤔)
Anyway…
Let’s try some more:
WEF: Western Europe
WEF: UN
EU: all of Europe
Islam: UK
Islam: France
Islam: Germany
Islam: Sweden
Iran: Yemen
UN: Hamas or:
Hamas: UN
(Only your committed leftist knows for sure)
“Ms. Hillman says Canadians will never give up their sovereignty. Let me repeat the non-pretending reality. If Canada loses all of the one-way benefits it receives from its relationship with the United States, the Canadian system of government and economics collapses.”
Actually, both can be true at once. Canadians will never give up their sovereignty. The Canadian system of government and economics collapses. The good news is, that with a reformed Canada, without the one-way benefits it receives from its relationship with the United States, we can once again be good neighbors.
It’s up to us to end the one-way benefits it receives. Welfare beneficiaries seldom quit on their own. They have to be cut off.
If I were a democrat, I’d be all on board with this, Canada as a state. They are largely Libs as I understand them. And that’s how they will vote. And that’s who they will elect to the Senate and the House. (Would the House even stay capped at 435?) One party rule, without all the drawbacks of illegal immigration. MAGA, do not go down this road.
The pretending is high with this person. On several levels. I cannot listen to their delusions any further.
Look what happened when West Germany took over East Germany. The whole country was driven further toward the left. Would Trudeau be eligible to run for president as a Democrat? Let Canada be Canada. The world is full of weak nations.
Funny that.
Alternativ fur Deutschland is dominant in the East.
All acquisitions begin as Territories, Statehood must be sought, must be achieved, and cannot be had sans qualification; a republican form of government, certain Constitutional requirements, and, in the case of less compatible populations, a period of acclimatization; if we can pacify Germany and Japan and make of them sound friends, we can address all that ails out neighbors; after all, we have a Communist Conspiracy to uproot in our own land, we will be familiar with the task of restoring long lost sanity.
