On Wednesday's live stream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle reacted to President Trump offering Canada the option to join the 'Golden Dome' missile defence project for $61 billion US—or for free if it becomes the 51st state.

Taking to Truth Social on Tuesday, President Trump touted the proposed futuristic missile defence system as he claimed the Canadian government is considering his offer.

“I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State,” he wrote. “They are considering the offer!”

Prime Minister Mark Carney previously stated that his government is considering joining the 'Golden Dome', and would be willing to pay its "fair share" if becomes a part of the project.

The Prime Minister's Office rejected the idea that Canada is considering joining the defence initiative for free as the 51st state, however, telling CTV News that Canada is an "independent, sovereign nation, and it will remain one" in a statement.

The ‘Golden Dome’ involves a network of satellites, space-based interceptors, and ground-based systems to detect and neutralize incoming missiles. Its purpose is to create a comprehensive shield against missile threats, particularly from hypersonic and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Drawing inspiration from Israel's 'Iron Dome' air defence system, the 'Golden Dome' is intended to provide security to the U.S. and deter attacks from adversaries including China, North Korea, Iran, or Russia.

President Trump's offer comes as Prime Minister Carney recently announced that Canada would be seeking new security partnerships with allies in Europe and Asia amid ongoing tensions with the U.S. administration.

    I think that Canada should become the 51st state. A lot of people are reacting emotionally against the idea, but this really calls for logic and reasoning. Canada is too dependent on the U.S. to be an independent nation. The Canadian economy is very integrated into the U.S. economy. It would be hard to have free trade deals with other countries such as the European Union and China because you have oceans separating us. If we get full American citizenship and full conversation of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, we should take the deal and become the 51st state.

    The cost will be paying taxes to Washington. This too is why Alberta and Saskatchewan must separate from that sinking ship of state called Canada.
