"Press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters directly that if Canada wants to avoid tariffs in the future, it should become the fifty-first U.S. state. She revealed that Trump’s tariffs aren’t about fentanyl or any supposed unfair treatment of the U.S. They’re about forcing Canada, with no justification whatsoever, to submit to his will.
Leavitt: "He feels strongly that it would be very beneficial for the Canadian people to be the 51st state of the United States."

And we are NOT a National security threat because tRUMP heard the British burned down the whitehouse in 1812 (Canada was formed in 1867) https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jun/06/donald-trump-justin-trudeau-burning-down-white-house-tariffs
It would be unwise to test the waters again if you attack Canada now... You guys are shit at guerilla warfare...
tRUMP reneged on a trade deal he negotiated and signed
Dumb and dumberer on tariffs/inflation
FELON47 is a Putin ASSet
Destroying the Canadian economy, leaving NATO, leaving Canada vulnerable with Russia encroaching from the North, means the USA and Russia will exploit our natural resources and minerals even further! That tRUMP water spigot he talks about is a salivating precursor to his dreams of conquest. Canada has a large amount of water sources and we supply most of your fertilizer. Why would he care about droughts and food sources if he can run rip-shod into out country and take whatever he wants as they are doing to Ukraine
Trump lifts US sanctions on Russia while adding tariffs for allies
Trade warTariffs CRASH the stock market
MAGA sucker's tax
The rich will get their tax cuts while the lowly working Americans pay more taxes ... and each time the markets dip, and the tRUMP SLUMPS have hardly begun, the rich use that money saved to buy up more stock, depressed property and foreclosed homes.

In 2018, Tax Cuts Helped Billionaires Pay a Lower Tax Than The Working Class. https://www.forbes.com/sites/camilomaldonado/2019/10/10/trump-tax-cuts-helped-billionaires-pay-less-taxes-than-the-working-class-in-2018/
Don't worry, America! tRUMP has your back!
The GOP are using "Golden Age" as a time stamp ...bringing back a time when the rich literally ruled over the working class. Gilded Age: It was also a time of exploitation and extreme poverty for the working class. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/03/02/trump-musk-bezos-gilded-age-corporations-economy-00205454
Who needs Canadian lumber?
Or national parks?
UPDATE 1
The POS FELON47 paused some of the tariffs as I fucking WROTE THIS ARTICLE!! How are the markets doing? And how are your GOD DAMNED retirement funds doing. But hey, your MAGA fucking farmers get their potash and the rich car manufacturers are happy! And the rich can buy out the farmers who can't find labour. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-tariffs/article/most-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-likely-to-be-delayed-a-month-us-commerce-secretary-lutnick-says/
The same MAGA POS that love that tRUMP calls Trudeau "Governor," are pissed that Canadian leaders are calling him Donald. FELON45 also said, 'we don't need anything from Canada' AGAIN before issuing another pause on tariffs for a month. (My, what a doofus of negotiator) Canada said fuck off and is keeping their tariffs on until added tariffs are removed. (Actually Canadian negotiators have been polite. tRUMP supposedly went ballistic and swore the whole time because he did not get his way) Americans (SAdly not just MAGA) are going to pay for their choices. Literally.
Here is a fine example of tRUMP being his gracious, polite self... (not)
Remember that tRUMP did this all last time
Reneging on a deal...and remaking it...
tRUMP has been denying that he is reacting to public pressure. He is not. He is reacting to MAGA anger... Ahahah! BC and Ontario are adding more restrictions and Ontario is adding more tax on energy until the added tariffs are gone.
