Could Canada really become the 51st state of the United States? It may sound like a political fantasy, but the idea has resurfaced—this time from none other than Donald Trump.

In this episode of The Global Narratives Podcast, we take a deep dive into the politics, history, and economic stakes behind this controversial proposal. From past U.S. annexation attempts to the modern-day rise of Albertan separatism, we unpack the implications, the rhetoric, and the forces driving this debate.

Would Canada ever agree to such a move? What would this mean for elections, trade, healthcare, and national identity? And is this really about annexation—or something far more strategic?

Join us as we break down one of the most intriguing geopolitical "what-ifs" in North American history.
