Donald Trump’s 'threat' to annex Canada just won’t go away
Perhaps Trump is not an expansionist despot after all? Maybe, just maybe, he wants to secure our borders.
GUEST: David Menzies' interview of Busty Lemieux's former friend.

Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, guest host David Menzies discusses Trump's never-ending-off-the-cuff remark about making Canada the "51st state." Then again, what if it’s not a joke?
On November 25, Trump threatened Canada with 25% tariffs for failing to address its porous borders for years in any meaningful way.
In one post, Trump referred to Trudeau as the governor of the “Great State of Canada,” following a dinner with the disgruntled prime minister at Mar-a-Lago.
NOW: President-elect Trump reveals Trudeau warned him that Canada would be "obliterated" by his 25% tariff threat. Trump dismisses Canada's energy wealth and trade relations. Doubles down on his 'economic' annexation by offering us to "be the 51st state." @rebelnews_ca pic.twitter.com/BeMH0BIXLZ

What has become abundantly clear is that Trump and his team knows how to push buttons, and Trudeau keeps taking the bait.
"There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States," Trudeau said in a recent social media post. Elon Musk, a key adviser to Trump, trolled Canada's outgoing prime minister, saying he was "not the Governor of Canada anymore."
Rather than taken it off the chin, our prime minister took it personally. Like the ego-maniac he is, Trudeau made Canada's porous borders about himself.
"Trudeau himself is to blame!" said Rebel News CEO Ezra Levant. That is why his standing among Canadians is at an all-time low! Trump himself is more popular among Canadians than the trust-fund Laurentian elite.
Trudeau says "one of the ways" Canadians define themselves is by saying, "well, we're not Americans."

For months, he failed to see the humour in Trump’s facetious remarks. As recently as December, the prime minister called out “regressive forces” for not electing the first woman president in American history.
After proroguing Parliament on Monday, Trudeau took a more diplomatic approach. “What I think is happening is President Trump, who’s a very skillful negotiator, is getting people to be somewhat distracted … to take away from the conversation around 25 per cent tariffs,” he told CNN Host Jake Tapper on Thursday.
Perhaps Trump is not an expansionist despot after all? Maybe, just maybe, he wants to secure our borders. After all, Trump has a proven track-record of delivering tangible results, though the same can't be said of Trudeau.

Howard Mirkin commented 2025-01-13 10:46:13 -0500Well, Ezra, if your TV shows are so awful and unfunny, they should be perfectly suited to the tastes of American leftists. Just think, we can play them all the time in Nero Newsom’s padded cell. His cell mate, forgot the name, something like Castrate, I think, will love them. He is after all, a Canadian.
Don’t worry about 3 downs in the CFL, that’s easily fixed with an EO. Heck, this is the US of A and we can do anything. Would you prefer 7 downs? Two? Can do. This is a negotiation, not a compromise, and our offer was just a starting point. We don’t do boxes. We want Canadians to win big as well. Say, what about a tariff reduction of 2.5% and we will only take Alberta and Saskatchewan Provinces and make them the 51st and 52nd states. That should fix the problem of a state being bigger than the United Stats. Y’all can keep some of the others. We might even end up with 51-63 new states. You might even end up with a brand-new, shiny 2nd amendment, which you desperately need. We paid a huge price for that one. Fear the French? No need. We have our own accordion makers. One more point. If you allow the globalists to put in digital IDs, ESG and a CBDC, deal’s off and everything else is on the table. . -

Given that Trudeau has turned Canada into a hell, I’d say that lil’ ole’ snowball has a great chance. -
Susan Ashbrook commented 2025-01-10 23:04:04 -0500Good take on that, David! While the political types are ramping up their rhetoric, you found what would really scare Donald Trump!

Ruth Bard commented 2025-01-10 22:31:58 -0500The use of plural pronouns to refer to a single individual is one of the most irritating aspects of the “trans” schtick. It’s both ungrammatical and dishonest. I’m not sure which annoys me more.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-01-10 20:48:42 -0500Donald Trump would get so many looney leftists too if he annexed Canada. The Republicans would never get another turn in power. And he’d get Busty in the bargain. What a huge disincentive!
