Canada 51st State

Canada 51st State refers to memes and jokes about Canada, and other territories less so, joining the United States as its 51st state. President-elect Donald Trump made a series of comments pushing the idea in December 2024, calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "Governor Trudeau," citing immigration issues with the U.S.-Canada border and highlighting Canada's $100 billion trade deficit with the U.S. as reasons why the country should join the United States.

After Trudeau's resignation as Prime Minister became a viral topic, the Canada 51st State debate resurfaced online, as X[5] user @MrJoKeR604 tweeted on January 6th, 2025 "PM Trudeau resigns and immediately Trump starts posting about his Canada 51st state fantasy." The post (seen below) gained more than 656 likes and 102 reposts in a day.
