What If Canada Became the 51st State

Just imagine that Canada is no longer an independent country. From now on, it’s the 51st U.S. state. For some, it’s a huge opportunity. For others, it’s a total disaster. In today’s video, we break down what would happen if Canada became part of the United States.

🛢🍁Canada is the world's fourth-largest oil producer, with production reaching approximately 5.65 million barrels per day in 2023. A significant portion of this oil comes from the oil sands in Alberta, which accounted for about 57% of Canada's total oil production in 2024. ​

As a Canadian, I've had enough of the "joke". time for our country to tighten up so we can be a proud, and non laughable nation again.

[SebiGable]

90% of Canadians don't want this even though we love the U.S. and it's people. I love Americans but this subject is truly dystopian and the joke needs to stop.

[masterknight]

To all Canadians, not all of us Americans want this. I want you to stay a Country.

[therealian]

Entertaining this idea, even as a joke, is incredibly insulting.

[KodyOffical]

"what would happen if the US tried to make canada the 51st state?"

War. War would happen.

[benedictsalako]

This suggestion is the exact reason why war is currently raging in Ukraine..

I was Born Canadian, I will die Canadian.

The USA should just become our 11th Province.

As a proud Canadian, I find this video both in poor taste and dangerously irresponsible. Hypothetically imagining the U.S. invading and taking over Canada is not just a thought experiment—it’s an insult to our sovereignty.

Canada has been a sovereign nation for over 150 years, earning our place on the global stage. The idea that we could be absorbed into the U.S. undermines everything we've built: our distinct political, cultural, and economic systems. We have values shaped by our diverse population that wouldn’t fit under your American model.

The suggestion that Canada might benefit from such a union is both naïve and insulting (even though you highlight the negative components). We value universal healthcare, political stability, and civil liberties—things that the U.S. is clearly struggling with. The notion that we'd somehow be “better off” under American rule ignores the strength of our own system.

But the real issue is what these "what if" scenarios normalize. Entertaining the idea that Canada could be absorbed into the U.S. chips away at our sovereignty and sends the wrong message. These ideas, though hypothetical, suggest Canada is up for grabs. This is a dangerous rhetoric that reinforces the ideals of your insecure greedy power hungry autocrat wannabe commander-in-chief.

While playing with such scenarios may seem fun, it's crucial to remember that Canada is a proud, independent nation, and the idea of being swallowed up by the U.S. is both unrealistic and offensive.

As a Canadian I don't appreciate my "friends" invading me, thanks but no thanks. Also, the stereotypes here are old and lame.

[justicethompson]

As an Indigenous Canadian this isn't just insulting, it's offensive to think I'd want to be part of a country that would probably reverse our communities back to a time of 'integrating' us into 'civilized' people. CANADA HAS EARNED ITS PLACE ON THE WORLD STAGE.

As an American I stand with Canada. They should remain a country.

[Saimeren]

What would happen if Canada became the 51st state? Nothing.. Because it will NEVER happen. Canada is an independent country. Even analyzing stuff like this is an insult to Canadians.

[danielbennett]

Canada will never be part of the US.

Love from Australia :)

[Qquizzy]

Why perpetuate the idea? Canadians don’t want to be a part of the US & I don’t blame them one bit!

[Nobody-hflp]

I am a proud Canadian and I love Canada with all my heart and soul. Canada will never become the 51st state. We will not give up our free healthcare System.

[moniquem]

I reckon that 90% of Canadians against this probably jumped to about 99% this morning.

[boogiecats]

As a Canadian, the US needs to knock it off.. if it actually did happen, it would cost lives.. cause we're not gonna go down without a fight.
