Love Ontario Premier's counter offer. Essentially he is asking for an arctic snow desert (Alaska) in exchange for Canada and adding a cold empty state as an extra lmao. Seriously, maybe not Texas, California, North Dakota, Washington, but Prime Minister should ask for New York and the north east and have New Jersey as an extra. To sweeten the deal, take Puerto Rico as a favor.

Yeah, forget about low taxes. It is a stupid reason to join any country. Tell them to go countries where there is NO taxes.

@OldSmellerFeller February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

We could just merge our Nations, call the new Nation Canada.

In other words, he plans to bankrupt your country!!!!
Wake up!!!! Sell your oil to EU and China!!!!!

Trump comes up with talking points to get a rise out of people and it clearly works for him ! He sees himself as being treated badly after his loss during his attempt at a second term and now he’s going to screw with everybody !

@ronaldschmuck9627 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Here is something to think about

As of January 31, 2025, the US public debt per capita is $104,060. This means that each American owes $104,060 towards the USA national debt. and each Canadian owes around $56,000 CDN or $45,000.USA .toward Canadas debt

Remove the boarder make it one currency and keep the health care system that Canada has. Make it one big country. Get everyone working again. Canada doesn't have a government now. Make Alberta the 51 state. The rest will follow. Im from Alberta.

@donaldsimpson4148 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

The level of betrayal, despisement Canadians are showing towards fuhrer Trump and “especially to those” who voted for “it” is equally the same level the US and the world portrayed against Osama bin Laden after 9/11… I kid you not…

@tessietesoro7407 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Trump wants freebies he can get from Canada ; that's why he is so adamant to take over Canada. Trump doesn't want to spend a penny for products he finds in Canada . 🤔🤔

@crazyburkey3677 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

The United States needs to be a province of Canada

@jakearsenta2144 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

It’s NOT a joke. We MAGAers are coming for you. Canada has NO means of defending itself against the most powerful country in the world.

@Zappy1210 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

I think before anyone can discuss Canada being a part of the US the US must insist Canada learn to play hockey 🤣😂

It's already a welfare state, a has been country

Amercan Can Join Canada as The 4th Territory

@samcalven12 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

The fact that the older ladies are saying it’s just a joke, even though they’ve lived long enough to see dictators. Putin attacking Ukraine was not taken seriously as well

@Aukrenchi17 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

It’s all jokes until you hear 🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅 and sounds of a Corvette engine with shotgun sounds

@RumpelDietrich February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

I agree with the old guy! Love to be 51st State.

@redsox5522 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Trump doesn’t have a sense of humour so while it may seem laughable he no doubt believes he can make it happen. Reporters should be putting him on the spot and ask, ‘since Canada has zero intention of giving up its independence to America or any country, how far are you willing to go?’ Force him to say ‘military force’ or shut the hell up, but they don’t seem to want to go there. If he did, it would be death and destruction because no patriotic Canadian is handing over the keys to the greatest country on the globe.

@johnabet6775 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

USA being a province of China would be more realistic.

@alichebry February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Thank you gentlemen for your honesty and integrity! My country Canada is also corrupt beyond imagination, controlled mainly by the Chinese government. We are their fentanyl operating hub from our western borders down to the southern US borders. Our parliament and institutions has been infiltrated by cartels which our RCMP (Who are also complicit) have estimated at 4000 criminal cartels throughout Canada. The number is obviously much higher and for a small populace this is enormous. They are gaining accesses to the USA because our borders are completely unsecured. I hope Trump continues to force my country to clean up.

@sean-ub5 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

All this canadian pride now. Where was this years ago? We still got people living in florida every winter 😂

Only the thing states ever cared about their celebrities and gossip not canada so much

@johnelliott8451 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Only a fool would think anything the diapered dictator says is a joke! He believes he's the leader of the world and everyone must bow to his magnificence!

@TonyMidyett February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Wil Trump annex Austria or Australia? Will he annex Iberia? Siberia? Liberia? Will he annex the Arctic? Or the Antarctic? Will he annex Guinea? Or Guinea-Bissau or Papua New Guinea? Or Equatorial Guinea? Or maybe he'll annex Niger, Nigeria, Congo, Other Congo, Sudan, Other Sudan, Korea, Other Korea, China, Other China, New Zealand, Old Zealand, or even Old York? Maybe he'll annex both Mount Olympus in Greece and Olympus Mons on Mars? What about re-naming North and South America "The Monroe Doctrine Zone"? Stay tuned!!!

@waynekennethtaylor February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

This is not a real thing but it is an "insult" from Trump. Canada is an independent sovereign country and will not be overtaken by any foreign country.

@marktwan4237 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Boycott boycott boycott is all we can say when it comes to the usa.

@rook6591 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

It took Hitler 53 days to dismantle democracy in germany. Trumps doing the same. Historically countries go isolationist , shore up all local production, then start a war. Trumps doing that. If you dont take this seriously, take your head out of the sand.

@pspence9569 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

You don't see Canadians that angry very often. What was the 'sorry' count in that whole video? Worrying times.

@joshuabeldo2656 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

As an American🇺🇸this is hilarious😂😂😂,but it would make sense it’s called empire expansionism and a road direct from the U.S to Alaska would no longer be an issue…and than Megacities like Vancouver,Montreal,and Toronto can Challenge economically New York City,Chicago,Houston,Los Angeles,Seattle for supremacy 😂😂😂we will see what happens…😂😂😂I know Canadians want to challenge this idea…

@kevinJ6665 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Established stuff on their own? Lol what? You wouldn’t be a thing without the USAs help. How’s the Canadian military lol… I’ve never heard of them

@ericsilberstein667 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

There are people down here against this. Trump is crazy. Please send a relative of Trudeau.

@ItzSynergyy February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

It's crazy to think that some people out there are still thinking that Trump is "joking". trust me he isn't joking he is 100% serious.

@goofytiger February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

U S A is the best!

@kathleenohearn7054 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Trudeau knows his time is up, and he's gone ahead and made all this drama just because he refused to secure the borders between us and the states. It's the very first request trump asked if he could do, thats all. Most Canadiens sense Trump is just chiding with the 51st state but apart from that, he doesn't like Trudeau because he's weak and he sold us out to India and he funneled 800 million in total to friends an their businesses plus his family has been spoilt on the back us Canadiens. Wheres the 1.6 million immigrants unaccounted for? India does pretty good with canada.

@Abjiba February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

1:27 I thought that guy said something completely different and called Trump a certain word 😂😂😂

@liamaleman1761 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

1:30 buddy you're part of the reason Canadians are in this mess. International students.

@rogerclyde2720 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

There needs to be a Referendum, let Canadians decide.

@angiestewart7236 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, why wouldn’t U wanna join arms with OUR FAMILY, USE your head think about . We would have a WALL UP already, fully protected of course . Our taxes will NOT be like this , saling your jewellery for FOOD. Everything will be BETTER, STRONGER, BRIGHTER, GREATER, it WILL be for the PEOPLE. AM IN of course 51 STATE , don’t be STUPID NOW . This is the FUTURE of OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN, Life will be easier, more jobs , more business too open, much , much , more opportunities . USE your BRAIN it’s BETTER in the Long Run for SURE. Some people are just selfish, thinking of themselves. Let’s DO IT . Ohh yeah BABY 🇨🇦🇺🇸❤

@Moobeus February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

1:13 “less everything else” I don’t think he realized the poetic irony in that statement.

@colleenwhite353 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Canadians will have “Less taxes, less everything else” is right! …the states will devour everything we have.

@corydor4218 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

No, Canada should not become the 51st state. We should wake up and diversify our exports, develop new markets. Donald Trump wants to phase out buying products from Canada that could be produced in the US. I get it. It would be good if they could negociate a phase-out period, one in which the US has time to build or reconfigure its industries to replace the products imported from Canada and at the same time allow Canada the needed time to reconfigure its export maket and gear towards Asia and Europe which needs many of these products. This way we can remain friends without harming each others economy and the goals of both to be persued. No need for a tariff war.

@xSMOKExEMxALLx February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Sounded like that last guy called Trump an English cigarette, which I would have been ok with! lol

@anonymous-TheReaper February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Trump should've kicked off this negotiation 160 years ago—guess he missed the memo. Now it’s too late for a time machine!

@kc3678 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Every Canadian needs to see a documentary named Canada The Illusion. All this Canada United and Buy Canadian is misdirected energy. First, Eby and Ford need to take care of the drug problem but for some reason they're the most vocal for anything BUT addressing the issue. Second, if the documentary is factual, Trump isn't the problem per se. Canadians have been lied to regarding the founding of Canada which leaves us vulnerable to a takeover. And coincidentally, Justin's papa may have known of this lie about Canada. Funny that JT followed his pops footsteps with the E-Act. Does Justin know something we don't, or Trump as well? History will take it's course, possibly as "planned". No amount of "buy Canada" will change it.

@danielquintieri February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

If liberals win, theyre gonna increase taxes, increase the carbon tax a lot, along with the tarriffs which will all bankrupt Canada and leave no choice but to join USA

@carbontrap2724 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

Ok folks I used to be the most patriotic Canadian around
It took Alberta 15 years to dig out of the hole that Justin’s father dug for us with the NEP
National energy program
Fast forward to 2015 when his son stated Canada will be the first post nation state
I get a kick out of all you folks that have all of a sudden become patriotic of late
Stephen Harper said yesterday that if he were prime minister he would impoverish Canada to fight the tariff’s and the 51st state idea and I agree with him on that we should show some back bone
Short term pain long term gain I get it
But even after all is said and done Canada is still held hostage by Quebec 13 billion in transfer and still no to western oil going to the east no to curtailing the monopoly the Quebec dairy’s have
So be patriotic all you want folks Canada does not work it hasn’t for a very long time
I for one don’t want to be a state but I sure as hell don’t want Canada picking my pocket any longer either

@godfathergg4678 February 23, 2025 - 4:24 am

We don't want canada as a 51st state. canada has mocked the usa and nato for years. I say usa needs to pull all military out of canada let them defend themselves and no more subsidies.
