Donald Trump is sounding increasingly serious about making Canada the 51st state
About this episode
It started with a social media post that some dismissed as a joke. Now, President-elect Donald Trump is threatening to use “economic force” to make Canada a U.S. state.
Is he serious? What’s going on here?
Host David Smith speaks with Professor Ian Lee from the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University about what this all says for the Canada-U.S. relationship under a second Trump presidency.
