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.

Jeff Rath’s behaviour toward Danielle Smith is not a good look for this movement, and he does not speak for me.
When this started, I had respect for him. But as this has played out, it has become harder to ignore what appears to be a push for power inside the movement, not a sincere focus on Alberta independence.
Danielle Smith is a major reason Albertans were even able to collect signatures in the first place. Compared to any other premier in this country, I believe she has been the strongest one standing up for her province.
I will not forget her accomplishments.
She stood up for parental rights when others wanted schools keeping parents in the dark.
She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
She has strengthened Alberta Sheriffs and continued exploring ways to free Alberta from relying on the RCMP.
And that is only part of it.

WEF/UN/Globalists have proven they can’t be trusted now given the key to Canada. Are you awake yet Canadians??
REPORT: UN Climate Scientists Flip on the Climate Doomsday Narrative | Stand on Guard CLIP
WATCH Have they been lying about climate change this whole time? Are they cancelling climate change doomsday scenario for the data centers?
The UN climate scientists admit the high emission doomsday scenarios were overblown. UN climate change scientists flip: climate change not too bad anymore according to a new report. No doomsday on the horizon.
On this Stand on Guard clip, we question why the UN might be backtracking on previous dire predictions, suggesting a new agenda at play. We examine how this shift could be tied to the proliferation of data center construction and the increasing demands on our power grid from artificial intelligence. It's crucial to consider the broader implications for our communities and hold big tech accountable.
