Canadians soy boy. Game on! Canada is going to be our 51st state. They are dependent on the US for their existence.

I can't believe the governor of our cherished 51st state would slap tariffs on us ?

Trump wants to be a dictator like Putin and grow his Empire, he wants Canada as 51st state to grow his empire. That is what it’s about, not fentanyl.

And you are Ukraine's best buddy? and you have declared war Russia like I said welcome 51st state

Canada should have been 51st state

Lol.\nIf you can't survive without the USA, I think it's time to be the 51st state !!!!

Americans will never accept Canada as a so called 51st state unless they vote for it. Canada is not a dictatorship. We Americans don't buy or conquer land from fellow democracies, only dictatorships. If there is an attempt the US Congress and the current states will block that.

Is this the first Step of Canada towards becoming the 51st State of USA? ?? ❤❤❤

Canada will become a 51st state. So all this is irrelevant.

CNN ,you didn't mention the real real that Trudeau believes the Trump administration has put terrifs is that they want to cripple the Canadian economy to be able to annex Canada as a 51st state!!!

AMERICA 1ST!! WE WILL NOT LOOSE TO YOUR SORRY COUNTRY! YOU WILL BE OUR 51ST STATE!

Americans wake up ! Canada is your biggest ally - this is disgusting. And what Trump is doing is in a way what Putin is doing to Ukraine. Why would Canadians want to be the 51st state? They are their own country and they are proud.

Trump: becoming the 51st state then no tariffs!

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

Can’t wait for Canada to be 51st state ?

trump is just trying to trash the canadian economy so he can make it the 51st state....he trying to be like his hero named putin

This guy doesn’t realize he is being setup for the succession of Alberta to become the 51st state.

He should keep quiet before we make Canada the 51st state ? and let Russia inherit Europe

“51st state” btw lol

Sounds to me like Trudeau's scared of this trade war it's almost as if he didn't listen to anything Trump said. Make Canada America's 51st state it basically already is.

I'm a Canadian living in the USA. I want to fly my Canadian flag, but the Americans will take that as our house wants Canada as a 51st state. It will never happen!

51st state?

lets gooooooo our 51st state

Canada, how can you treat you best allie, best of friends best trading partner. how dare you treat the country that saved you from the Nazis from the Moslems from Russians and Mexicans from the Europeans. trump is going to destroy you and then make Canada a state. you can not be the 51st state because Israel is the 51st state. so get in line.

Nobody cares what the Governor of the 51st state thinks about anything. MAGA!

Canada as 51st state? Heck … or US as the 11th Province.

I'm a Canadian, please stop normalizing us as your fortuitous 51st state. Please. We don't think it's fucking cute.

Trudeau Sucks and thought he resigned!? Canada 51st State !make it happen people!

Canada would look good being the 51st state

Or you can just sign up to be the 51st state of the US. You would become the largest state in the US area wise, but not population wise. You also could vote in American elections. Many Canadians would have voted for Trump by the way if they could have.

American here… can we be Canada’s 51st state? \n\n*Arkansas ranks like 47th in education. Not sure how many states Canada has or how to go about annexing. /s

Is that the governor of the 51st state?

hes not willing to become the 51st state quite obvious but the Canadians want to be the 51st state.

Whats going to happen is that you will receive no subsidy and the USA will takeover Canada as the 51st state. Why do you need our $250 billion?????

Trump will be known the American president who conquered Canada and it the 51st state of USA \n\nBut my question is why did Trudeau stated speaking baby words when it was time to speak to Trump directly!?

As a canadian , i soppurt the TARIFF .., the president offered bieng 51st state , so enjoy the consequences of your stubborness

Canada is not the 51st State. USA is the 47th Russian Oblast.

You need to understand, Canadians. He's trying to cripple you economically, so you can agree you're no longer viable as a country & become the 51st US state. I hope you're up for the fight... you deserve better than US colonialism.

It’s not about fentanyl.Trump want Canada to be the 51st state! Trump wants it , so trump gets it … temper tantrum!! Cry baby!!!

You will be our 51st state

Trump isn’t a smart man. But he is a man baby who loves to be told he’s a smart man, which is why other leaders do it. \n\nI do wonder what the end game is. Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (to get the natural resources and despoil the country by drilling for oil). Does he really imagine that this is going to endear Canadians to America. Is he planning to deteriorate the relationship so that eventually he invades Canada? Because the tariffs make absolutely no sense for the reasons Trump has given.

Trump wants Canada to be 51st state? This is wrong. Trump might have some Russian friends pushing him to mess with Canada. God help Canada ?? ? ❤

Trump seeks to weaken the United States, force Canada into the 51st state, annex Greenland, restrict Mexico economically, repossess the Panama Canal and put it all at Putin's feet. Trump is pursuing Putin's agenda at a time in the history of the earth when climate change is opening up the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole to industrialization and commercialization along new routes never seen before . Trump's policies do not benefit the American people at all, but rather the economic potential of the Russians, The King of the North.

We need an election now. Or risk becoming the 51st state.

Maybe they are planning something. Trump once remarked that Canada could become the U.S.'s 51st state, so perhaps he was considering a strategy to weaken the country as part of a long-term plan. He might have been looking for a justification to assert control over Canada. Additionally, his strategic support for Putin raises concerns. Trump also once suggested renaming the 'Gulf of Mexico' to the 'Gulf of America.' Considering all this, could we be on the brink of World War III?

Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state of America but is only succeeding in making the US the 23rd Federal Republic of Russia.

Canada will be the 51st state lol

All support for our 51st state. ?

There is one Golden Opportunity for India to get rid of our gigantic debt, sinking economy, dunky migrations, poverty, sinking our rupee value, China’s worry and misery including demise of Hinduism, Become 51st State of the USA. Trump the great is in a hurry to expand his empire ten fold at any price.

This makes for even more reason for Canada to become the 51st state. This wouldn’t even be happening. Canada is basically like America anyway. Smh this is so stupid smh I can’t even watch the entire video smh it’s so dumb
