"America is not Canada, and Canada never, ever will be part of America in any way, shape or form."

"Canada will never be the 51st [US] state."

"There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States."

"Barring a military blitzkrieg to seize Ottawa, the chances of Canada becoming the 51st state are approximately zero."

"We are not going to be annexed [by the US]."

"Canada is not for sale and will never be the 51st [US] state."

"I think that the Canadian people, many of them, would love to join the United States with no tariffs, with lower taxes."

"The artificial line of separation [between Canada and the US] drawn many years ago will finally disappear."

Will Canada Join the United States of America as the 51st State?
