Canadian Leaders Say Trump Talking About The 51st State Is No Longer Funny

Did most of them find it funny to start with? Most of the leftists had freakouts when Trump first made the joke. Does anyone actually think Trump would actually make Canada the 51st state? Would possibly invade? There’s zero chance that even the Republican led Congress would authorize it. Trump may possibly be serious about Greenland and even Panama, but, Canada? It’s a troll

Canadian leaders say Trump’s talk about Canada becoming the 51st state isn’t funny anymore

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s comments that Canada should become the 51st state are no longer a joke and are meant to undermine America’s closest ally, Canada’s finance minister said Wednesday.

Dominic LeBlanc, the country’s point person for U.S-Canada relations, said Trump was smiling when he first made the comment during a dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in late November.

“The joke is over,” said LeBlanc. “It’s a way for him, I think, to sow confusion, to agitate people, to create chaos knowing this will never happen.”

Surprise! LeBlanc gets it.

Trump keeps floating the idea that Canada should join the United States as the 51st state, saying Tuesday he would not use military force to invade the country, which is home to more than 40 million people and is a founding NATO partner.

Instead, Trump said he would rely on “economic force” as he erroneously cast the U.S. trade deficit with Canada — a natural resource-rich nation that provides the U.S. with commodities like oil — as a subsidy.

“It’s becoming very counterproductive,” LeBlanc said, referring to Trump’s rhetoric about Canada.

Is it? Y’all are still talking about it, and, understanding the point, which is more economic equity between the U.S. and Canada

Canadian Immigration Minister Marc Miller also fired back, dismissing Trump’s comments as “ridiculous.”

“There is no chance of us becoming the 51st state. I think that this is beneath a president of the United States,” Miller said. “I said a few weeks ago that this whole thing was like a South Park episode.”

But, you’re still participating in the show, Marc. And maybe, especially with Trudeau gone, Canada could make the trade balances more even so tariffs would not be needed. And, perhaps you will restore all those freedoms taken away, especially during the Trudeau years.

However, if we turn Canada into a territory, they won’t get voting rights in Congress.

The thing is, she seems to get it, and is not doing this in a mean spirited way.
