Update: Tariffs on Canada are on hold for 30 days after Trudeau worked out a final border security pact. “Canada has agreed to ensure we have a secure Northern Border, and to finally end the deadly scourge of drugs like Fentanyl that have been pouring into our Country,” Trump announced on Truth Social, following the call with Trudeau. “Canada will implement their $1.3 Billion Border plan.”
Original Bulletin
President Trump spoke to Justin Trudeau about tariffs that will go into effect by 12:01 pm. He will also speak with him later.
Trump posted on TruthSocial:
Canada doesn’t even allow U.S. Banks to open or do business there. What’s that all about? Many such things, but it’s also a DRUG WAR, and hundreds of thousands of people have died in the U.S. from drugs pouring through the Borders of Mexico and Canada. Just spoke to Justin Trudeau. Will be speaking to him again at 3:00 P.M.

This post does not take a political position but just supplies information.
Comments have suggested Canada as a 51st state. If so it would be the largest by population. 9 of the provinces are large enough to be US States.
Province 2024 Pop. Rank Ontario 15,996,989 5th Quebec 9,030,684 12th British Columbia 5,646,467 23rd Alberta 4,849,906 25th Manitoba 1,484,135 43rd Saskatchewan 1,231,043 45th Nova Scotia 1,072,545 45th New Brunswick 850,894 46th Newfoundland 541,391 51st That would be 18 new senators
Throw in Puerto Rico (Rank 33rd) and there would be 60 states.
The Canadian people are great. Unfortunately, they had Fidel Trudeau, a crazy little dictator, at the helm – just like we had with Shitpants Joe. All Trump asked was that they control their border and stop the influx of deadly drugs into the U.S. – but crazy Little Fidel refused to cooperate. Truthfully, Canada would be economically and politically better off joining the U.S. than sitting idly by watching their industries move out of Canada and into the U.S. Let’s hope we all get together and form one big, powerful nation.
