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.
because OF COURSE.
Let the child blather on and look foolish. It’s funny talking points for the russian bots and their Edmonton bankroll.
But he hasn’t, You’ve just not been listening, Trudeau started acting like a 12 year old girl over this, went and cried in public that Harris should have won, this was such a setback to the progressive agenda and the USA and the blah blah blah, but he didn’t do this after Trump won, he did this after Trump started teasing him. (Then he claimed to be a feminist and turned around fired his female finance minister, that he had left at home when he went to florida to talk finance with Trump, another brilliant idea by the narcissist, should have sent the foreign affairs minister and stayed home himself.)
