"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 US as the 51st State?

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Thursday that Canada welcomes European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's proposal for the country to become the EU's first associate member.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Thursday that Canada welcomes European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's proposal for the country to become the EU's first associate member.

Von der Leyen floated the idea Wednesday in her State of the European Union address, proposing the two sides move beyond their existing free trade deal to an "Alliance for the Future." The associate member status does not exist in EU treaties.

President Donald Trump, speaking Wednesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, called the proposal "laughable" and a possible "hostile act," saying he would impose heavy tariffs on Europe if he judged the arrangement to be made with bad intentions.

Carney said he was not seeking "a third bloc in order to become a great-power rival — only with better manners," and described the aim as resilience so no country can control Canada's markets or dictate its choices.

Carney said the final structure of the alliance would be debated in committees and put to a vote in Canada's Parliament, and that Canada is not seeking full EU membership. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola welcomed the prospect.
