Grant Cardone To Canadians: 'Lower Your Taxes & Join The Greatest Country Of All Time' – Trump Is Serious And Canada Should Welcome This

Grant Cardone, the well-known entrepreneur and motivational speaker, stirred up X (formerly Twitter) last week. In his tweet, Cardone said, "America to incorporate Canada–Trump is serious & Canada should welcome this. Lower your taxes & join the greatest country of all time."

• Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved? The percentage may shock you.
• The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement — How do you compare?

Cardone's tweet referenced former President Donald Trump's recent remarks about Canada potentially becoming the 51st state of America and framed the idea as beneficial for Canadians. He pointed out what he sees as a major advantage – lower taxes – and presented the United States as "the greatest country of all time."

Cardone's comment follows Trump's attention-grabbing suggestion that Canada could avoid U.S. tariffs by joining the U.S. During a recent discussion about trade and tariffs, Trump even referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the "Governor of the Great State of Canada." While the former president's remarks were largely tongue-in-cheek, they've reignited debates about the economic and political relationship between the two neighboring countries.

Mixed Reactions from Canadians and Americans

Cardone's tweet got many different reactions. Some people thought it was a good idea, saying it could bring shared resources, more jobs and lower taxes. Others didn't like it, saying Canada has important values like free health care, stricter gun laws and a peaceful way of life. Some weren't sure if Cardone was serious, while others joked about how the Canadian and U.S. currencies could be combined or just had fun with the idea.

As one commenter said, “Ya, we may be in a bit of a situation in Canada right now, but we don't want this. Stay in your own lane, U.S., don't come and ruin ours even more.”

Economic Implications

Even though most people were just joking or imagining what could happen, some had serious worries. They said Canada's economy could face big problems and disruptions, especially for industries like oil, farming and factories. Others mentioned that the differences in culture and politics between the U.S. and Canada could make this idea impossible.

Cardone's tweet is provocative and furthers ongoing debates about Canada-U.S. relations. With issues like tariffs, trade deficits and economic interdependence on the table, the idea – serious or not – sparked an intriguing conversation.

With $418 billion in products purchased from Canada and $354 billion in goods exported to the U.S. in 2023, Canada is the U.S.’s second-largest trading partner. According to Goldman Sachs economists, if Trump’s 25% tariff plan is implemented, Canada’s GDP could fall by up to 4% and negatively impact the U.S. GDP.
