Canada will become the 51st state of America? What will be the big game if that happens?

These days, there is a lot of discussion around the world about Greenland, Canada and Panama Canal, in which there is a lot of discussion about Canada becoming the 51st state of America. It began on November 5, 2024 with the meeting of the newly elected American President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Florida.

In the meeting, the two had a heated discussion on tariffs, with Donald Trump threatening to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada. After this, on December 16, 2024, Canada’s Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from her post. Now the pressure increased on Justin Trudeau and he resigned from his post on January 6, 2025.

On the same day, Donald Trump wrote on social media on Truth Social that many Canadians would love to become the 51st state of the United States. The US could no longer afford the large trade deficits and subsidies that were essential to Canada’s survival. Justin Trudeau understood this, and that’s why he resigned.

As this was written, memes flooded social media around the world and discussions heated up about Canada becoming the 51st state of the US.

What if Canada really did become the 51st state?
1. Area: America will overtake Russia to become the largest country in the world with an area of ​​about 1,98,11,345 square kilometers. It would cover 80% of the entire North American continent and 13% of the total land area of ​​the entire Earth.

2. Economy: Canada will become the largest state in America by area, with a GDP of more than 2 trillion US dollars. Economically, it will be the third largest US state after California and Texas, which will give a big boost to its economy. After this, the total economy of the United States will reach about 30 trillion US dollars, which will leave China’s economy ($17.79 trillion) far behind.

3. Army: The US would gain increased influence in the Arctic through Canada’s northern borderlands and states, which would give it control over the strategic Northwest Passage. Canada’s 1 lakh strong army will be merged with the US, 65 fighter jets and 143 helicopters of the Canadian Air Force will become US. Along with this, 14 warships (frigates) and 4 submarines (submarines) of the Canadian Navy will also come under US control.

4. Source: After becoming the 51st state, the US will have a large pool of resources. The US would be able to unlock Arctic resources, and Canada’s rich natural resources would belong to the US. It has the world’s largest fresh water reserves and 13% of the world’s oil reserves.

This would give the US 215 billion barrels of oil reserves, equal to Saudi Arabia (267 billion barrels), and Russia (100 billion barrels), Iraq (145 billion barrels) and Iran. (Iran) (208 billion barrels) will also surpass.

5. Population: After Canada joins, about 40 million people will join the US population of 340 million and the total population will reach 39 million at once.

Is it possible?
The idea of ​​Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States of America is nothing more than a fantasy. Although the idea sounds attractive, the political, cultural and social obstacles are so great that it is very difficult to turn it into reality. The centuries-old partnership between the two countries and the complex web of international relations make such a merger impossible. Despite this, the idea has become an interesting point of discussion on world politics and economic equations.
