QUESTION: Hello Marty, Many in Canada appear to be taking President Donald Trump’s discuss making Canada the 51st US state significantly. We have now Canadian leaders claiming it’s a critical menace and a part of a plan. “President Trump desires to place us right into a state the place we’re way more weakened economically so as ultimately to annex us,” was the remark from International Minister Mélanie Joly.
This appears to be a distraction; as you say, they want battle in Europe to distract from their financial decline. Trump has uncovered what many people Canadians didn’t know. First, the drug labs, and second, internally, as you mentioned in your interview with Maxime Bernier, we now have tariffs between provinces.
Can Trump annex Canada? That appears far-fetched.

ANSWER: Most individuals have no idea, however Quebec needed to separate and be a part of america and even shaped a Political Get together known as the 51st State. From an financial perspective, becoming a member of with america is clearly economically helpful. I laid that out within the Canadian Report. This has been proposed backwards and forwards since e the American Revolution. Provinces wouldn’t be allowed to place tariffs on one another. That is all very Marxist, defending labor however on the value of decreasing the usual of residing. Others have identified that you don’t have any proper to vote for who leads your nation beneath a Parliamentary system. Nonetheless, others have proposed ending that system and adopting the American system however remaining as Canada.
Look, from purely an financial and nationwide protection perspective, such a merger is sensible. Nonetheless, there isn’t any method Trump may merely annex Canada. Furthermore, I believe the politicians there have an excessive amount of to lose, and they’ll scream and yell to retain independence, no completely different than any such state or entity like NATO. If Trump was actually critical, then going public with that concept could have been a tactic to get the individuals in opposition to the politicians.
If there’s a battle between the US and Russia, the nukes could be coming excessive of the globe by Canada. That’s the reason he desires Greenland as a result of Tule has been the house of NORAD, which protects the highest of the globe from a nuclear assault that must journey over Canada.
Canada has adopted the Socialist agenda of imposing tariffs to guard jobs, which has dominated Europe and led to financial suppression in each international locations. Maybe the upside right here is that Trump has uncovered the interior tariffs and that coverage in Canada that almost all Canadians have been unaware of till this fascinating banter.
The actual query is just nationwide delight vs. economics. Which is extra essential? Nationwide protection is one difficulty. A merger eliminates tariffs and commerce disputes. Then, many come to the USA, in some instances for medical consideration, as a result of the system in Canada is inefficient. This can be a coin toss, and it’s actually a query for the Canadian individuals, however that’s onerous with the propaganda the politicians put out to protect their very own jobs. Personally, I’d be for Florida splitting and changing into our personal nation – overlook the delight, it’s about economics first.
