President Donald Trump announced Thursday that Canada was no longer welcome to his newly established Board of Peace.
In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump rescinded Canada's invitation, informing Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that his country could no longer join the "most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled."
"Dear Prime Minister Carney: Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada’s joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time," Trump wrote.
Trump unveiled the board during a speech and signing ceremony Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, with leaders from Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Central and Southeast Asia joining him on stage.

The president's rebuff came after he said Wednesday that the United States should control Greenland to build a large-scale "Golden Dome" missile defense system, which he said would also protect Canada, which he argued depends on U.S. security.
"We're building a Golden Dome that's going to, just by its very nature, going to be defending Canada. Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful also," Trump said during the forum in Davos.
"But they're not. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful. They should be grateful to us, Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements," he said, referring to remarks Carney made earlier this week.

Makes sense. China wasn’t invited at all, and since Canada has chosen to be a vassal of Xi the Pooh...
LOL.
I don’t think Canada cares all that much.
Canada is unstable. Everyone knows Canadians are friendly and like to party but when it’s time to get serious they blame everyone else with their fingers in their ears.
Is this Golden Dome similar to President Regan SDI?
Canada needs higher tariff to pay for it’s fair share of the big, beautiful dome.
Notre Dame should be happy
“Dear Prime Minister Carney...” LOL! HOORAY President Trump!
The people need to rid themselves of thier destructive government
Trump should be acknowledged for the diverse group of nations he placed on the board. We will all benefit from their lived experience.
None of the European colonialists were included on the board. Letting an emerging country full of indigenous peoples whose voices have rarely been heard take the place of federal parliamentary constitutional monarchies like Canada is a win bigly for democracy.
Trump needs to make Canada our 51st state before Canada can join the Board of Peace.
“Is this Golden Dome similar to President Regan SDI?”
Yes.
>>>I don’t think Canada cares all that much.
Same with PM Carney, some 92% required investment disclosure are in the US stock market NOT in Canadian stock market!
Yeah, don’t like to see that percentage. There are quality Canadian companies out there. Imperial Oil is a good example.
Canada is far more than unstable.
Five wextern proveinces are well along the ir way developing the means an what ever to leave the confederation.
Trump is in negotiations with the WEXIT provential delegations to develop what they will be once Canada is left behind.
In reality, Canada was......... President Trump knows it
I was once on a river rafting trip for hours in Canada with about 6 Canadians and 4 Kiwis. I realized then that the US was lucky to be separate from Canada what a mess they are.
PM Carney seems to fumbling all the way!!
In November 2025, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed questions about the timing of his last conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump regarding stalled trade talks by saying, “Who cares? I mean it’s a detail”. He later admitted it was a poor choice of words during serious trade tensions.
Key details regarding this incident include:
Context: The comment was made in response to questions about trade negotiations while Canadian workers were facing rising American tariffs on steel, aluminum, and lumber.
Reaction: The phrase “Who cares?” was heavily criticized by opposition leaders as dismissive of struggling Canadian industries.
Aftermath: Carney addressed the comment in the House of Commons, admitting it was a mistake and a “poor choice of words”.
Explanation: He had indicated he would speak to the U.S. President again “when it matters,” arguing that at that moment, he did not have a “burning issue” to raise.
The above was GROK generated on Carney’s ‘who cares’ comment!
I’m afraid Canada dithered for far too long.
#51 could go to Greenland.
Canada could take #52, if offered by President Trump.....
Context, origin of Bob and Doug Mackensie.
The oppressive and suffocating Canada CRTC demanded the TV show to have moar Canada content.
Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas asked “what do you want us to do? Sit in front of the map of Canada, drink beer, and smoke cigarettes???”
CRTC replied, yes,.....
