Cross-Border Conversation: What do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st state? 1:51:33

The U.S. and Canada have been long-time allies and neighbours. But when US President Donald Trump began musing and then doubling and tripling down on Canada as the "51st state" tensions pushed us to the brink of a trade war. Then, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a group of business leaders on a "hot mic" that Donald Trump's 51st state comments are not a joke but in fact “a real thing”. And after meeting Canadian premiers, deputy White House chief of staff, James Blair cautioned them to take Donald Trump’s comments about the 51st state "at face value”. But while some see this as an attack on Canadian sovereignty, others believe the President is trolling and seeking negotiation leverage for the next round of trade talks. Our question: What do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st state?…

With Trump's second term upon us, Canadian politicians are holding their breath to see how serious Trump is about imposing tariffs on Canadians imports. He's threatened to put a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods on day one of his presidency.

Yesterday, Transport and Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand announced Canada is ready to counter with retaliatory measures she says will "be the single largest trade blow the U.S. economy has ever endured". Our question: What does another Trump presidency mean to you? How seriously are you taking his tariff threats?…
