The Canada-U.S. Relationship: A Long Historical Context
In a recent episode, humor and politics intertwined as comments about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and former President Donald Trump made headlines. The pundits quipped about Trump's light-hearted jab during Trudeau's visit to Florida, where he seemingly suggested that Canada could become the 51st state of the United States if they couldn't handle U.S. tariffs. This incident not only highlights Trump’s penchant for provocative jokes but also stokes the embers of a historical debate steeped in nationalism and economic interdependency.
