When former U.S. President Donald Trump floated the idea of using 'economic force' to bring Canada into the U.S. 🇺🇸🍁, reactions in the Great White North ranged from laughter to disbelief. One Toronto resident summed it up: 'Ridiculous! We’ve been trading partners for over a century—why mess that up?'
The comments, made during a media engagement earlier this month, drew a sharp response from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who dismissed them as a distraction from Trump's tariff threats. But ordinary Canadians aren’t biting. 'We need cooperation, not annexation memes,' joked a Vancouver student interviewed by CGTN Stringer.
Many echoed the sentiment that cross-border ties should focus on shared goals like climate action and tech innovation. 🔌🌱 As one Ottawa entrepreneur put it: 'This feels like a Hollywood plot twist. Let’s stick to reality.'
