The real reason President Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state?
With President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada and threat of making Canada the 51st state has brought a sense of nationalism across the country. Even people in Quebec have called themselves Canadian (rare in Canada). But why does President Trump really want Canada as the 51st state?
On 3 June 2024 People reported that if Donald Trump was elected as President of USA he wouldn’t be able to enter 37 countries. AP News reported he was found guilty of “34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election” in Manhattan, New York making him the first USA President who entered office with a criminal record. Reuters reports that prosecution has asked to delay his prison time until after he leaves office in January 2029. Then Donald Trump was charged with falsifying business records. So can now President Donald Trump come to Canada?
In Canada, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (S.C. 2001, c. 27), last amended 19 August 2024 (before the USA Presidential election and Tariff War started) states that you can’t enter Canada if you
Falsifying business records is a criminal act in Canada that falls is classified as an Act of Parliament. Although he can travel across the 50 states of USA President Donald Trump can’t enter Canada as long as it is a sovereign nation-state – one that makes it’s own laws and uses the Loonie. Did he like the polite reception in Canada during his first term? Or maybe he liked the Quebec Poutine and the Tim Horton’s Double Double? Seems the President just wants to come to Canada so he’s trying to make it another state.
Falsifying business records in Canada is forgery under the Criminal Code of Canada.
