Canada, its not too late to send your application for 51st state. Together we are stronger, eh.

Do you think Tariffs at 25%+ against Canada is enough to pop the housing bubble in and throw its banking sector into chaos? Coupled with strategic hits to its largest investment grade corporations attempting to hit the rating agency metrics. Thus, squeezing their cash flow to topple them into junk status, again hammering Canadas bond market? This Dominoe effect would collapse the currency making Canada the 51st State, finally!

Don't make jokes about Canada being a 51st state. We don't find it funny and it's insulting

Canada has basically 2 army divisions, the US has 4 paratroop divisions, and the planes to deliver them. 51st state is serious as it gets.

Suggestion: How the US/Canada would do on the leaderboard with Canada as 51st or 51-60th states? Although not politically correct, Canadian resources combined with US capital/investment. I think it would be an economic powerhouse the world has never seen before.

As for “America’s presumptive 51st State” in the intro, as a Canadian, please don’t normalise talking about us as the 51st State, even in jest. We are a sovereign nation, and after seeing the utter disrespect with which Trump and Vance treated President Zelenskyy recently, we have to keep our elbows up ! Otherwise, solid economic analysis of the current situation here in Canada. Merci !

43% of GenZ want to become the 51st state. A significantly higher figure want to move to the US.\nLets be clear here, the loyalty is only to the Canadian people right now. There is absolutely ZERO loyalty over this colonial puppet state that only became a thing in the 1980's, and has utterly failed its population for the past DECADE.\nThey (quite litterally I may add) would rather see us OD on the streets than have a 3% reduction in housing. \nEvery 25 year old I know, are living with their parents despite having 6 figure jobs.\n\nWe Canadians beat our chest and act hard when the US says this, but we turn a blind eye to Chinese/Indian/Iranian foreign influence and extrajudicial killings. The fact our own people are threatened and killed by foreign governments is insane. But the DOUBLE STANDARD we have in being everybodys doormat while rejecting integration with the US, is insane. \n\nWe litterally have avoided MULTIPLE recessions because the US has bailed us out time and time again. notably in 2021. Were in the G7 only because of the US.\nOur GDP also litterally collapsed in 2015, and were only drudging on by because the US helped us along. They dont want to do that anymore.\n\nCanada is dead, and our economy is dead. I have no loyalty to a government that wants me either dead or a slave to make money for BOOMERS. \nI would be a BOOTLICKER if I was to support the Canadian government.

All joking aside, Canada has been able to form a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit with the United States since even before NAFTA 1. But.......... right now it is almost like a 51st state and I do not mean that in a joking way. US states are always competing with each other, but what prevents things like, oh say the American Civil war from happening is the Federal apparatus keeps them in line for the good of the empire as a whole. \n\n If Canada is like a 51st state, then it is competing with the other 50 states in a way that all 50 of them are going to get upset about. So either the states complain, or you treat Canada as an economic competitor. Mexico being behind the United States and Canada is what makes it a good candidate for a symbiotic relationship. For all its problems, Mexico has a Christian population (with some indigenous traits) that goes well with America. Their nations different economic status means we can support them and they can support us doing different things for countries of different development stages.\n\nCanada being so similar to the United States will want that as well and will never outbid the United States. Again this is seen as a hostile economic competitor. \n\nIts not Canada or Americas fault. After 2007 and the lies about fanny and Freddie, leman bros, mortgage backed security's, and a cash shortage that was not real. How was it real if the offshore exchanges did nothing? 2007 was not financial in origin it was our global monetary system seizing up. To say Wall Street greed and MBSs did it would be like saying a single drop of cement turned the ocean to cement.\n\nBut something did. Something turned the market from liquid to concrete, it happened in France decades before......\nFinancially packaged items could no longer be priced or traded.

Canada, our 51st State...without Quebec.

Why not use news headlines from our own country? Why open with a joke about canada being the 51st state? if you wanted 40 million people to automatically think you're a jackass who doesn't understand what hes talking about you sure dumbfucked your way right into it.

U.S. already has a 51st state...\n\nit was founded in 1947 and located over in the _LEVANT._\n??

Theres nothing presumptive about Canada being the US' 51st state. A lot of Canadian's would rather burn everything to the ground than be American, and a lot of others still would rather flee to Europe than be trapped in Trump's America

51st. State????❤Trump,make canada the great 51st. Canada is not free or affordable and won't ever be until they join the greatest country in the world, AMERICA. ?

The fact that Canada was introduced as the 51st state in this video just made me laugh. Like if we all joke about it long enough, it will come true.

As a Canadian I would do anything to become the 51st state\n\nThe country has failed the younger generation and is by far the worst country in G7, by a LONG shot\n\n(Since i want to leave so bad: migrating to the US LEGALLY is actually kind of difficult)

“ presumptive 51st state”. Thank you for accepting reality.

Great video, but dude. Don’t call us the “presumptive 51st state”. That’s a hard no-go in Canada. ??

The reason real estate prices have gone 300% but incomes only 100% is because of low interest rates. If you factor in carrying costs, the numbers aren't as extreme. The challenge now is that interest rates have increased to stave off inflation generated primarily during the covid years. While this has somewhat abated, real estate carrying costs remain elevated and price growth has stagnated, while the Canadian dollar has fallen, effectively resulting in reduced housing valuations (in US dollar terms). Can we ride this out until incomes catch up? Will productivity increases promised by leading political challengers (election coming this year) move the needle? Are tariffs and 51st state rhetoric just a negotiating tactic and bluster, or something real? Nobody knows, but we will find out..

As a Canadian, I would really want to become the 51st state so I could stop using these Trudeau pesos.

Interesting video, but don’t call us the 51st state.

Countries like cannada shouldn't even question if the usa wants it as its 51st state as they are doing a favour by taking in a poor third world shitehole

The 51st state stuff is definitely not a bluff, it's the exact language that imperialists use to convince their own population they should launch an expansionistic war and genocide. Refrain from opening your videos with that, because it is *deeply* offensive. Might as well joke that Ukrainians and Poles are just Russians with a funny accent.

TLDR: The US has a lot of work to do with its 51st state!

51st not doing good? _No longer want as 51st state_

The beautiful 51st state ?

Canadians spontaneously stopped buying made in USA when the heard 51st state because they don't want to lose*\n*universal health care\n*low crime rate\n*gun control\n*unchallenged lgbtq rights\n*unchallenged woman's right to choose\n*peace, order, good government orientation

Canada needs actual men to turn it into the 51st State.

Canadian here. If you think this is bad, you can’t even imagine how awful it is being a minority in your own country. ?? have taken over everything. Five million are here illegally and no one even cares. Canadians so upset at Trump jesting about 51st state? We’re already a ?? colony, frankly I have more in common with Americans, so by all means, take us over. Pretty much where I am at right now ?? ??

That's Canada, the 51st State of the united states

Soon Canada will b a past ...51st state of Trump's USA...

So be it Canada would be 51st state, seems like they can’t handle those coyotes crossing the border

Isn’t Canada the 51st state?

Canada, if a friend, should just naturally protect our/their borders. President Trump forced to send ICE to Canada, would make it one step closer to becoming out 51st state. Or we could force Canada to pay Ice wages. No more FAVORS.

Little do they know they'll be kicked out of our soon to be 51st state as well. ?

It's just people visiting from the 51st state.

Looks like Canada will become the 51st state

Wow did you say 16000 crossed an artificial line well build a steel wall on it That unprotected border used to be something both countries were proud of. People used to cross the borber to go to work and go home every day. Trump says Canada should become the 51st state but all those brown people will obviously have to go. So all those educated Asians whose first choice was to immigrate to the US but had to settle for Canada and have every reason to support statehood aren't welcome.

bus them back to the 51st state

Stop funding sanctuary cities and Canada has to do more at its border or Trump will create as a 51st state?

Just take over Canada. Make it the 51st state of the union.

Im Canadian and while the tariffs are gonna suck, I completely understand why Trump is doing it. Our government is an absolute clown show and what's worse is now the politicians and corporate media here have spun this whole thing as Trumps fault and alot of Canadians are falling for it buying into this whole US vs Canada BS. Like this all coulda been avoided if our politicians would've actually fixed the border YEARS ago, instead of legalizing heroin, making a gender neutral national anthem and making it illegal to misgender someone. \n \nHonestly I'm so embarrassed to be Canadian these days that being the 51st state is pretty appealing. I support gun rights, low taxes, deporting illegals, love proper BBQ and work for a paycheck. So if anyone in a red state is hiring, I'm happy to relocate..

If this is the case, then make canada a 51st state. There's every reason Trump was saying canada should be 51 st state.

President Trump needs to try to get a hold of control of Canada, AND if he can, GET CANADA TO BECOME THE USA's BELOVED 51st STATE, because Justine Trudeau is NOT PROTECTING CANADA, NOR IS JUSTINE TRUDEAU , AND ALL OF HIS LITTLE ATHEISTIC COMMUNIST FRIENDS, BEING VERY NICE TO CANADA'S NEAREST AND DEAREST NEIGHBOR, THE USA. I HOPE THAT PIERRE POLIEVIER IS ABLE TO TURN CANADA AROUND, BUT THIS WILL BE TOUGH, A VERY , VERY TOUGH JOB FOR POLIEVIER, OR ANYONE ELSE IN CANADA, TO TURN THINGS AROUND, WITH ALL OF THE CRAZY ATHEISTIC GODLESS COMMUNIST LIBERALS, WHO HAVE CORRUPTED CANADA, AND CONTINUE RUNNING AROUND CANADA, DESTROYING EVERYTHING FOR THE CANADIAN CITIZENS.

Yep, shut down the southern border and they come in the northern border. The only solution is to make Canada the 51st state.

So I guess we just need to take Canada for not respecting our laws. WE subsidize Canada, they only exist because of us and they do nothing for us and funnel illegals in. 51st state.

Canada..... 51st state= safer America

Easy solution - Canada = 51st State

it'll be fine once Canada is our 51st state.

Canada took the payoff to let those flights in at our expense. How could our 51st state do that to us?

Another good reason for Canada become the 51st state.
