Canadian businessman and TV personality Kevin O’Leary is making waves with his proposal to erase the border between the United States and Canada, creating a united front against China and Russia. In an interview on “The Big Money Show,” O’Leary, also known as “Mr. Wonderful,” expressed his support for President Trump’s recent suggestion that Canada become the 51st state, citing potential economic and security benefits.
O’Leary pointed out that Canada, with a population of 41 million and abundant natural resources, including energy and water, has the potential to greatly bolster the US economy. With China and Russia posing threats at the northern border, O’Leary emphasized the importance of a joint effort to secure this area. He suggested a common currency, tax system, and passport for the two countries, similar to the European Union model.
While the concept is gaining support among Canadians, the current government’s collapse may hinder progress. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has not been favorable to this idea, but O’Leary believes that his experience and business background make him the ideal candidate to negotiate on behalf of Canadians. He plans to take this proposal to Mar-a-Lago and start the narrative for a US-Canada economic union.
This proposal has not received much coverage in the mainstream media, even though it has the potential to greatly benefit both countries. In contrast, Trump’s plans to place tariffs on Canadian and Mexican products in response to the influx of illegal immigration and drugs have been highly publicized. The media has also failed to report on Trudeau’s recent meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, despite its potential significance in this matter.
It is clear that an economic union and the elimination of the US-Canada border would benefit both countries and provide enhanced security against China and Russia. With O’Leary’s support and a willing partner in President Trump, this proposal may have a real chance of becoming a reality. It is time for the liberal media to stop ignoring the potential benefits and give this idea the coverage it deserves.
