Trump Reacts to Trudeau’s Resignation, Says Canada Should ‘Merge’ With US
Has Trudeau left us with no other choice?
Trump said that merging with the United States would mean Canada would have no tariffs and its taxes would “go way down.”Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump has once again called for Canada to become the 51st state following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s announcement that he will resign.
“The United States can no longer suffer the massive trade deficits and subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned,” Trump said on Truth Social on Jan. 6.
Trump also said that many Canadians “love being the 51st state,” and that merging with the United States would mean Canada would have no tariffs, its taxes would “go way down,” and it would be militarily secure from the “threat of the Russian and Chinese ships that are constantly surrounding them.”
Trudeau announced on Jan. 6 that he intended to resign as prime minister once the Liberal Party has chosen a replacement. He also met with Governor General Mary Simon to ask for her to prorogue Parliament, which she accepted, bringing an end to the current parliamentary session until March 24.
The prime minister has been facing calls to step down for several weeks from regional caucuses, as the party suffers from poor polling numbers and several byelection losses. The calls for Trudeau to resign grew louder after former Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from cabinet on Dec. 16, the same day she was set to introduce the fall economic statement.
Trump has made several references to potentially making Canada the “51st state” since winning the U.S. election in November 2024.
He first made reference to it while Trudeau was visiting Mar-a-Lago on Nov. 29, saying if Canada could not survive without having a trade surplus with the United States, then it should become a state.
Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who had attended the dinner as public safety minister at that time, later said the president had made the comments in a joking manner, and that there was “cheerful banter between the prime minister” and Trump.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber got 12 months of house arrest today for “mischief.”
Not violence.
Not property damage.
Mischief.
Peaceful Canadians—criminalised for daring to speak out. The same justice system that drops charges for real crimes and lets violent offenders walk free spent three years trying to break two people who stood for freedom.
The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.
Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.
Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.
But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.
We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
Todd Dube was ...
