It’s baffling that we even entertain or spend any energy discussing Trump and his outlandish claims, like Canada being the 51st state. As a proud Canadian, it’s hard not to feel both frustrated and amused by such remarks. Canada is a nation built on values like inclusivity, respect, and diversity-qualities that define us and set us apart on the global stage. To reduce our identity to a mere extension of another country is not just insulting but fundamentally ignorant of the history, culture, and sovereignty that Canadians hold dear. Our relationship with the United States has always been complex. While we share a border and maintain close ties through trade and diplomacy, we are distinct in our approach to governance, healthcare, education, and even how we treat one another. We’ve cultivated a unique identity that reflects our values, from our universal healthcare system to our multicultural ethos. For someone like Trump to trivialize that with careless, ego-driven rhetoric only highlights his lack of understanding of the world beyond his own bubble. The suggestion of Canada being the 51st state isn’t just ridiculous-it’s dismissive of our independence and the sacrifices of those who fought to build and protect this country. Canadians are deeply proud of our history, our institutions, and our role as a global leader in promoting peace and sustainability. We’re not perfect, but we stand tall as a nation that values fairness and community over division and chaos. It’s tempting to dismiss comments like these as just more noise, but they also underscore the importance of standing firm in our identity. Canadians are polite, yes, but we’re also fiercely protective of what makes us unique. We don’t need validation from anyone, least of all from someone whose understanding of Canada seems limited to stereotypes and soundbites. So, while it’s frustrating to hear these remarks, they ultimately serve as a reminder of how strong and resilient Canada is as a nation. We don’t need to justify our sovereignty or dignity to anyone-we embody it every day through our actions and values. Let the noise fade into the background while we continue to move forward as a country that others look to with admiration and respect.
They idea terrifies almost all Canadians and it should terrify Trump too, since 65% of Canadians would vote Democrat. If it was the 51st, it would be like adding another California to the union. Trump, like most Americans, is clueless about Canada.
As a Canadian, I don't want to ever, ever become part of the USA. I think just under half of Americans would like to live in a Province. PS. those are not Canadian mountains..That's the swiss alps.

Just say Canada is independent, has no desire to be a part of the US, and only an adolescent jackass president-in-waiting would say such a thing.
Not in a million years. Canadians are living in closer quarters to the US than any other country and witnessing far more of 45's behaviour; we are more sick of him than the rest of the world rolled in together. Why would we give up our health care system, with all its faults; our CPP, vacation time, EI, and can you imagine Quebec joining the US? Canada is laughing while the rest of the world is wasting its time analyzing. We are more likely to give up the monarch as Head of State. The idiosyncrasies', racial divides & political infighting of the US can remain south of the border! We have enough to cope with with our own politicians!
Canada has a different culture than the US and the differences in healthcare alone would keep most intelligent Canadians from supporting this idea. The rest of the World should be preparing for the insanity the new US administration has planned for them. We (thought) we were close friends: buckle Up!

Those are slightly more concrete movements than I was originally suggesting but I think it shows that your "lie" statement is undeniably incorrect, while if you had disagreed with me in a more reasonable way or provided anything but accusations you might not have been provably wrong.

Have yet to meet a Canadian willingly abandon his\her Canuck spirit even when working in the US. Seems unlikely each prefers stars and stripes over a beautiful maple leaf.

Why are you even entertaining this irrelevant musings of the orange moron? Must be a slow news day or a make work project. Nobody takes this shyte seriously! Enough already ! Dig up dirt on Jimmy Carter!
As a Canadian this would literally be a dream come true The only reason there is such low approval numbers is because they don’t advertise these polls at all.
Canada must immediately impose a 25% tariff on all imported goods from the USA. And there’s nothing he can do to stop it since he’s not even in office for another month.
The Trump tariffs could lead to an all-out trade war, as happened in 1930 when the US unilaterally raised around 900 tariffs by about 40 to 60 per cent. This prolonged the Great Depression and world trade contracted by a startling two-thirds. There is no reason to expect a different outcome this time around. LOSE-LOSE propositions may be as elusive as win-win ones, but Trump’s tariff threats, if carried out, will be one such outcome. There is still time to avoid it by abandoning this potentially disastrous tariff policy. (But maybe he's doing the right thing...after all, we all know how good a businessman he is)
A amendment already exists in the 1776 US Constitution written by the founding fathers which gives Canada the exclusive right to join the union under its own terms no questions asked, regardless of what the President or Congress wants. Hawaii and Alaska never had this special deal
Wjy would we want to be the 51st state? So that guns will be the number one cause of death for our children and youth? Have our taxes go to the medical industry and then asked to pay again once services are needed? Or so we can pave our country and poisen our watershed? Why again?
What is commonly misunderstood is that Canada does not have clear title to the land that it occupies. Many First Nation treaties are in effect and some are being challenged in the courts. It will not be joining the US and the Crown will be held responsible for seeing that the treaties signed will be honoured. It is a question of values and Canada is coming to terms with its undignified past and its treatment of the First Nation. I expect the First Nations will soon have seat at the table and all for the better.
I would advise a lot of Canadian people to study their history on the war of indepence between the U.S. and what is now Canada. You should become aware of what the Northwest Territory is and how it became annexed to the United States.
No we don’t. If for no other reason (and there are many!) we prefer generally being liked and thought of positively by other people rather than disliked.
It’s a great idea because he wants our oil and other natural resources. America will always protect Canada it’s in their best interest. If not china would be more them happy to trade and protect us.
Give me a break! Although Canada is not the one country I know anymore, supporting war in Ukraine and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, really Canadians are appalled by the US government. Democrats and Republicans.
Well, not saying or speaking for anyone. Hypothetically; if Canadians wanted it to become the 51th state, it will be The People that make that decision. Not your government. Canadians will fall under The Bill Of Rights, then The Constitution; this will have to be the people of Canada's decision to make, alone. Community by community. Not much would change but Canada's rights.
If u.s. starts a 15% tariff on Canada & sticks to it, at some point Canada would have no choice but do whatever u.s. says or starve to death. I think breaking Canada up into multiple states would make more sense. The world has started a global shift. When Russia invaded Ukraine it gave thought to other countries that could benefit from doing the same, add in world debt & worldwide recession or depression & WW3 & the planet comes out looking much different. Just look back at Polland.
No they won't. The majority of Canada's exports are natural resources, such as crude oil, refined petroleum, gold, and minerals. If the US doesn't want to buy these things there are many other countries that will.
As a Canadian, I say we should become part of the U.S. We willingly sold our economy and security to the U.S over the past decades. We really might as well now.
Some of us DO want to become the 51st state. A lot of us (including me) are already American citizens as well as being Canadian. I think we both have a lot to gain.
Is your poll east vs West or just Ontario Ontario is the largest province and feel like they are Canada but the West is very much American BC with Washington Alberta with Texas and Saskatchewan Manitoba like Montana Dakota. The Only thing we are proud of is universal free health care and I am sure if a deal could be arranged where we keep free health care we would jump on the USA wagon.
Interesting point. Canada would be a pretty easy fit since it already culturally very similar to the US and closely integrated economically. Mexico would be a little more difficult although Mexicans are basically Spanish-speaking versions of Americans with their hard-drinking, hard-eating, independent ways (not to mention that there are already 38 million people of Mexican descent in the US already which is close to the Canadian population of 41 million).
We would join the European before the United States and we would have to build a military beyond compared. Expand the French foreign legion than more than 7000 members I know for a fact that France let's Canadians join. 30,000 French foreign legion trained combat soldiers stationed in Canada part of a Untied force remember many Canadians speak French and have French Irish and other European ancestors. France is not that far from Newfoundland.

NO we don't. Got it?
No
@@thatswhatithought6519 "No" - that is the right answer.
Well, not saying or speaking for anyone. Hypothetically; if Canadians wanted it to become the 51th state, it will be The People that make that decision. Not your government. Canadians will fall under The Bill Of Rights, then The Constitution; this will have to be the people of Canada's decision to make, alone. Community by community. Not much would change but Canada's rights.
If u.s. starts a 15% tariff on Canada & sticks to it, at some point Canada would have no choice but do whatever u.s. says or starve to death. I think breaking Canada up into multiple states would make more sense. The world has started a global shift. When Russia invaded Ukraine it gave thought to other countries that could benefit from doing the same, add in world debt & worldwide recession or depression & WW3 & the planet comes out looking much different.
Just look back at Polland.
No they won't. The majority of Canada's exports are natural resources, such as crude oil, refined petroleum, gold, and minerals. If the US doesn't want to buy these things there are many other countries that will.
@@putler965 Canada could always sell or otherwise cede control of some ports to the Chinese like Panama. That would really miff Trump.
That this can even be a point of discussion shows you how poorly Trudeau has governed
First US must be split on Mississipi river. Then US may annex Ontario and Quebec maybe.
Let's Make Canada Great Again!
Let’s have you move to the USA since you love their slogans so much. Canada never stopped being great
Must be a really slow news day if you’re giving this airtime. 😂😂😂
That mountain is the Matterhorn it’s not in Canada
Maple Leaf Forever 🍁
We would be 13 states and trend blue.
That will be your right.
Never says Canada,never !!!!
Trump baited the media in in a huge way 😂😂
You know what they say... Many a truth are spoken in jest..
This is jook this wuold never ever happen ever f Donald Trump
Stupid click-bait.
I’ve Hurd Canadians say this too
As a Canadian, I say we should become part of the U.S. We willingly sold our economy and security to the U.S over the past decades. We really might as well now.
Never ever. I’d rather kiss the kings hand. Common wealth for ever.
Some of us DO want to become the 51st state. A lot of us (including me) are already American citizens as well as being Canadian. I think we both have a lot to gain.
Goooooood for you. Stay there.
Is your poll east vs West or just Ontario
Ontario is the largest province and feel like they are Canada but the West is very much American BC with Washington Alberta with Texas and Saskatchewan Manitoba like Montana Dakota.
The Only thing we are proud of is universal free health care and I am sure if a deal could be arranged where we keep free health care we would jump on the USA wagon.
One turbonator is keeping Canada hostage for his pension 😂
Take Mexico first
Interesting point. Canada would be a pretty easy fit since it already culturally very similar to the US and closely integrated economically. Mexico would be a little more difficult although Mexicans are basically Spanish-speaking versions of Americans with their hard-drinking, hard-eating, independent ways (not to mention that there are already 38 million people of Mexican descent in the US already which is close to the Canadian population of 41 million).
Would Canadians be willing to give up their health care?
NEVER !!!!!!
Why would Canadians have to give up there healthcare?
Do canadians really think so?can any canadian here tell me what do u think of this proposal?
We would join the European before the United States and we would have to build a military beyond compared. Expand the French foreign legion than more than 7000 members I know for a fact that France let's Canadians join. 30,000 French foreign legion trained combat soldiers stationed in Canada part of a Untied force remember many Canadians speak French and have French Irish and other European ancestors. France is not that far from Newfoundland.
Do you think Canada could handle the influx of refugees it would see by attaching itself to Europe. Europe is moving right because of this.
Trump should have done Stand up Comedy, then his Dementia wouldn't be a problem. If Musk joins the act with his Advertising skit it could actually be amusing. 😂
United North America is a true destiny
I thought you guys hated Mexicans?
I thought you guys disliked Mexicans?
Great report Bravo !!
52 is much more balanced.
Well if Canada did merge. You guys will have the right to separate and make a different state. It's in our laws.
A Canada 🇨🇦 USA 🇺🇸 merger would form a hyper powered nation on planet earth. It’s a fantastic idea! Iran, Russia, and China wouldn’t stand a chance.
The US would then have a State in the Commonwealth.
An American Canada would leave the Commonwealth by default
@ No thanks.
I’m a Canadian. I don’t mind of turning Canada into the 51-st state. Donald Trump is the best. Glory to Trump.
Old news!
