Last month, Trump reportedly discussed with Carney the possibility of Canada becoming a U.S. state.
Kickin' It CANADIAN-STYLE:
Canada's leader, Mark Carney, sets the record straight on a wild call with Trump
The great white north has been buzzing with news about a wild phone conversation between our very own Mark Carney and none other than Donald J. Trump. You heard it right, folks! The former U.S. president reportedly tried to pitch Canada as the next greatest U.S. state![1][2]
During a press conference on April 24th, 2025, Carney didn't deny the gist of the story. Instead, he admitted that Trump brought up the idea, but added that he's adamant about Canada remaining an independent sovereign nation.[5]
However, some of our fellow leaders in Canada aren't thrilled about this revelation. The NDP's Jagmeet Singh called Carney out for being deceptive about the conversation, hinting that he might be sugarcoating other details as well.[5]
The Conservative Party and other opposition parties have been slamming Carney left and right for his handling of the situation, especially since it's election time.[5]
But don't think for a moment that Canada is going down without a fight. Our leader has been working hard to protect Canadian industries from potential U.S. tariffs. In fact, he might have a sweet $2 billion up his sleeve to shield our auto sector![5]
Hold on to your maple syrup, folks, because this ain't over yet. The 2025 Canadian federal election is just around the corner, and the proposal to annex Canada is quickly becoming a major point of contention. Stay tuned to see how things unfold!
