Kevin O’Leary, a prominent figure from Shark Tank and a Canadian entrepreneur, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the prospect of Canada merging with the United States. He noted that a significant portion of Canadians share this sentiment; however, there is widespread reluctance for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to pursue such a deal with President-elect Donald Trump. A Canadian businessman announced plans to visit Mar-a-Lago for discussions regarding a potential US-Canada merger.
“Canada is home to 41 million residents, a population comparable to that of California, and possesses the world’s largest reserves of various resources, most notably energy and water.” In recent days, Canadians have been engaged in discussions surrounding this topic during the holiday season. There is a growing demand for additional information. There are numerous issues at play, suggesting the potential emergence of an economic union. Consider the implications of merging the economies of Canada and the United States, effectively eliminating the border between the two nations. This strategic move could channel resources toward the northern borders, where geopolitical tensions with China and Russia are increasingly evident. There is a strong emphasis on security, suggesting the implementation of a common currency and a standardized approach to taxation across the board.”I find this idea appealing, and it seems that at least fifty percent of Canadians share this interest,” stated Kevin O’Leary.
Kevin O’Leary highlighted a significant issue, stating that a majority of Canadians lack trust in Trudeau’s ability to handle the negotiations, particularly given the instability of his government. He further mentioned his intention to visit Mar-a-Lago for discussions with Trump regarding this matter. He expressed confidence that Canadians would place their trust in him regarding the negotiation.
Is Canada on the verge of becoming the 51st state of the United States?
The situation began as a lighthearted comment during a dinner at Mar-a-Lago, attended by Justin Trudeau and his government officials alongside Donald Trump. Prime Minister Trudeau made a courtesy visit following President Trump’s announcement of a potential 25 percent tax on Canada. This threat was issued in response to concerns over the flow of illegal migrants and drugs across the border.
Reports indicate that Trudeau informed Trump that a 25 percent tax would devastate Canada’s economy. In response, Trump suggested that Canada should consider joining the United States as the 51st state, with Trudeau taking on the role of governor.
Following his interest in Canada, Trump has now indicated a desire to acquire both Panama and Greenland.
