Canadians react to Trump's tax cut proposal for joining the US as 51st state

Donald Trump has proposed a significant tax cut for Canadians if they agree to join the United States as the 51st state. He suggested a 60 percent reduction in taxes, which has garnered some support among Canadians frustrated with their current government. While a survey shows 82 percent of Canadians oppose the idea, support is higher among men and younger individuals, particularly in Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Some conservative figures express enthusiasm for the proposal, citing potential economic benefits. Despite Trump's comments, no major Canadian political party supports the merger. Canadian officials, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have dismissed Trump's remarks as jokes, emphasizing the importance of Canadian independence.
