The president-elect recently quipped that Canada should become the 51st state and has proposed imposing tariffs on the country.

Summary

Trump mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of the “Great State of Canada” on Truth Social, following recent discussions about tariffs on Canada.

Trump has joked about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, linking the idea to U.S. trade deficits with Canada and Mexico.

Trudeau, responding to tariff threats, pledged to counter any unfair trade measures.

The remarks have sparked lighthearted responses, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford joking about the War of 1812 and Sen. Bernie Sanders referencing Canada’s healthcare system.

      I’m not for imperialism, but at this point, can we just hand the US back to the UK.

      Like, they tried this whole independence thing, it clearly did not work.

      (obvious /s on the UK part)

      Sounds like a threat to me. US should do a preliminary strike before Canada tries anything.
