Conservative media personality Mark R. Levin has suggested that instead of making Canada America’s 51st state, the U.S. should “give” the Democratic state of Vermont to Canada. Levin’s proposal is aimed at preventing an influx of left-leaning voters into U.S. elections and removing Vermont’s “Marxist political hacks” like Senator Bernie Sanders. This idea has gained attention amidst discussions of Canada potentially becoming the 51st state to avoid higher import tariffs.
Levin’s comments come as President Donald Trump has also floated the idea of making Canada the 51st state, highlighting the potential impact on U.S. governance and the GOP’s control of Congress. Levin’s proposal raises questions about citizenship and political affiliations in Vermont, suggesting that conservatives could retain their American citizenship while liberals might align more with Canada.
While Vermont remains a reliably blue state and has close ties to Canada due to its proximity, reactions to Levin and Trump’s suggestions have been mixed. Some view the move as a solution to economic and security concerns, while others, like Canada’s new Liberal Party leader Mark Carney, have strongly rejected the idea of Canada becoming part of the U.S.
As discussions continue around potential changes to U.S.-Canada relations, it remains to be seen how these proposals will be received by policymakers and the public. With Carney set to be sworn in as Canada’s prime minister and a Canadian general election on the horizon, the debate over Vermont’s future and the relationship between the U.S. and Canada is likely to continue.
