U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he again told some unnamed Canadian official that the country should consider joining the U.S. as the 51st state — returning to the annexationist rhetoric he used earlier in the year and subsequently dialed back after Prime Minister Mark Carney was elected.
Speaking to senior military officials at an event in Virginia, Trump said the U.S. is developing the Golden Dome missile defence system and Canada could be covered by it if the country becomes part of the States.
"Canada called me a couple of weeks ago. They want to be part of it. To which I said, well, why don't you just join our country? Become 51, become the 51st state and you get it for free," Trump said.
Trump said he doesn't know if his pitch "made a big impact," but he said, to him, joining the two countries together "makes a lot of sense."
He said Canada is "having a hard time" after being hit by tariffs, claiming his trade policy is shifting trillions of dollars worth of investments to the U.S.
Trump has previously floated Canada joining his proposed defence system, saying the country will need to kick in some $71 billion US if it wants to be under the U.S. security umbrella, which is designed to protect against missiles, drones and other aerial threats.

LOL!

This should be cute.
This should be cute.
We should recognize the independence of any provinces that declare independence. Then we can consider annexing them.
But Trump’s not doing the bidding of the globalists. Oh, no. Absolutely not.

I’ll go along with that, it’s one thing to proffer “statehood” without offering them Statehood. Kinda like Gaza. No way in hell I want to be a countryman of either.

Let’s just buy a quarter mile wide strip from the US to Alberta.

I wish he would quit trolling. We don’t need that cesspool of leftists/statists joining our union.
Canada has its own version New England libs or Fed.gov deep-staters, they are called the “Laurentian Elites” and they are centered around Ottawa, Montreal and especially, Toronto. These sorts of people set the terms of things like the CBC and state-run media and Canada’s bloated political health-care system
They are arrogant, both envious and distrustful of the USA, and see the rest of Canada, particularly the prairie and West, as backward conservatives.
These people also keep Canada as a colony of the rump UK empire. They are increasingly woke, globalist and neo-marxist in their views. UK/Davos lackey Mark Carney is exhibit 1A (even though, ironically, he was born in the far North Western Prairie).
They will never willingly join the USA, but Alberta and Saskatchewan could easily be induced into the Union.
Yeah, Trump’s totally a globalist. Totally.
People will still say he’s “trolling.” Underestimate Trump at your peril.
Just what we need: North California. The population and politics are similar. Annex Canada and the sliver of a Republican majority becomes a huge Democrat majority in the House and Electoral College.
Maybe commonwealth or recognize Alberta and Saskatchewan if they split but the rest can go pound sand.
