Trump’s repeated and escalating threats towards Canada, particularly his allusions to making Canada the 51st state, are deeply concerning and frankly, nonsensical. The idea that absorbing Canada would somehow solve border issues is absurd; eliminating border security would only facilitate the very flow of people and contraband he claims to want to stop. This isn’t a simple policy disagreement; it’s a direct threat to Canada’s sovereignty, framed as a solution to a problem it doesn’t address.

Trump’s imposition of new tariffs on Canada, coupled with his demand that Canada join the United States, is frankly absurd. The notion that any sovereign nation would relinquish its economic autonomy, let alone its very identity, is preposterous. Even if, as some claim, the US doesn’t need anything from Canada, the persistent pressure to join suggests otherwise.

Just before Canada’s electric vehicle subsidy program ended, Tesla sold over 8,600 vehicles in three days across four stores, claiming over $43.1 million in rebates—more than half the remaining funds. This extraordinary sales surge, averaging one car sold per minute across all locations, has raised serious concerns among rival dealerships who were left without access to the remaining rebates. The unusually high sales volume, coinciding with Tesla’s recent sales slump in Canada, has prompted investigations into potential irregularities in the rebate claim process. Dealers are now facing significant financial losses due to unprocessed rebate claims.
