Canada: The Unwanted 51st State?

In a rather audacious political chess move, President Trump suggested Canada join the U.S. as the 51st state after Canada's hesitance to replace aging F-18 fighters with the F-35s, threatening their role in NORAD, a key defense alliance. This extravagant proposal comes amid hints that failing to upgrade could sever the American-Canadian defense link. Despite this, Canada reaffirmed its sovereignty, with PM Mark Carney (@CanadianPM) emphasizing independence—demonstrating the ongoing tension and humor in international relations. Will Canada swap planes or borderlines? The plot thickens.
