Canadians aren’t a fan of the Canadian leader but the vast majority of Canadians don’t want to be part of the USA.

Let it be known that U.S. has already been receiving our oil and electricity at a bargain price.

[intrinsicfactor]

US is currently 36 Trillion in debt, they simply want Canada's resources to help pay it off._

[Htruman-uz]

Trump is off his meds again. There's no fool like an old fool.

[KewPie-ymvu]

Canada becomes America's 51st state? How about America become Canada's 11th province!

[nora]

Trump is out of his mind. Oh wait we knew that Canada and Canadian are too proud to ever become part of the US.

[frederickclause]

As bad as it is here there's no way I want any part of the U.S. electoral system, education system and health care system.

[bwianeh]

we need to up our prices of water and power for the usa

[BillyBobJoe-ph]

We're not up for grabs, buzz off.

[ryanfuzi]

We are not the same as America. Sorry we on average have a better quality of life then the Americans. If you think there's a crime, drug, and wealth inequality issue in Canada, those issues are significantly worse in the USA. Stand up Canadians, this cannot happen to us!

Now Trudeau doesn’t have to be diplomatic anymore ….

[codym]

I hate trudeau but i would rather die fighting than become an american, and i love the states. Ive been down south, but Canada needs to always stay free

[naazjetha]

Bravo! Nous ne ferons jamais parti des E.U. Nos valeurs sont très différentes!

[MissuMrBean]

Why would we want to join a country that's hated around the world when we're so well loved around the world

[sportgoofy]

Hard no on the proposal to join that dumpster fire of a country.
We dont jump ship because we disagree with the skipper.

[MichealTasse-cg]

Trump, leave Canada alone. We are a peaceful country. With no war .

[traciemorgan]

How about the US be 50 new provinces to Canada and that way Trump won’t be the President anymore! That benefits the whole world

[michaelt]

Canada will survive whatever Trump dishes out. His talk is always just talk to boaster his own low esteem. A problem that originates from his childhood.

[dunecampbell]

The line in Trump's brain between reality and insanity is completely gone.

[Karl]

He wants Canada, he wants Greenland too lol. Trying to compete with Russia and China I see
