In a firm response to remarks made by former U.S. President Donald Trump, Canada’s former Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, made it unequivocally clear that Canada would never entertain the idea of becoming part of the United States. Taking to social media, Trudeau wrote, “There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States.”
He emphasized the strong, mutual benefits that define the Canada-U.S. partnership, highlighting that workers and communities in both countries thrive on their roles as the largest trading and security partners for one another.
Trudeau’s comments come amid debates and discussions prompted by Trump, who during a recent speech suggested closer integration between the two nations. While Trump’s remarks stopped short of explicitly calling for a merger, they raised concerns in Canada about safeguarding its sovereignty and identity.
This exchange has further spotlighted the broader conversation on bilateral relations, with leaders on both sides reiterating their commitment to cooperation without compromising their respective national interests.
