Donald Trump shocked Canadians last month when he suggested that Canada should be annexed into the United States, and become its 51st state.
Elites in our country absolutely shutter at the thought of further integration or absorption into the United States. But what about regular, everyday Canadians? Are they open to a better deal?
And is a merger inevitable? Can our economy recover from Trudeau’s disastrous governance? Can we develop and export our natural resources in this political environment? Can Canada survive in an uncertain world with adversarial states like China and Russia eyeing the North?
On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by journalist, columnist and editor of the National Post Diane Francis, author of the 2013 book “Merger Of The Century: Why Canada and America Should Become One Country.”
The two of them discuss Diane’s thesis, what a deal would look like today, and how Trudeau has absolutely destroyed Canada to the point where a merger looks more appealing than ever.
Candice also walks us through the news of the day, including big announcements from Danielle Smith, Pierre Poilievre and Justin Trudeau.
