Trump Wants Canada As ’51st State,’ But Canadians Say No Thanks

Donald Trump once again suggested Canada give up being a sovereign nation and become America’s 51st state, and, once again, Canadians are saying no thanks — or in some cases, “eff off, eh.”
Although Canadian politicians have repeatedly called Trump’s suggestion “a joke,” the president insisted on Friday that Canadians would actually love to be part of the U.S. because, he claims, the taxes would be lower.
He added that Canadians “wouldn’t have to worry about military, you wouldn’t have to worry about many of the things, you’d have better health coverage, you would have much better health coverage.”

But based on the social media reactions, it doesn’t appear as if Trump is winning the hearts and minds of Canadian citizens.
Many people especially laughed at the notion that Canadians would want to give up socialized medicine for the U.S. model of health care.
