Canada’s participation in the Golden Dome system would cost US$61 billion, U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a Truth Social post Tuesday.

“I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State,” he wrote.

.....
.........
Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed interest in .....

“We are conscious that we have an ability, if we so choose, to complete the Golden Dome with investments and partnerships,” he said in a press conference a day after Trump’s announcement.

“It’s something that we are looking at and something that has been discussed at a high level, but not I’m not sure one negotiates on this. These are military decisions that have been taken in that context, and we will evaluate it accordingly.”

1. "Trump needs Canada for it. The only way to secure it is by putting radar in Canada for it - and we need their airspace.

makes sense that Trump needs Canada for Globe--
Otherwise. Will it be cut off at Northern border--skip Canada---then include Alaska??

15. Nah. He just needs someone to blame for it not happening.

He has been told repeatedly that it is not feasible.

2. If they don't pay, he'll annex Canada

and Greenland too

[speak easy]

6. Ah!!!

That's what Greenland is for.

[Deuxcents]

3. His Golden Dome dream is his motivation for control of Canada and they know it's a disaster

[Irish_Dem]

4. Canada is supposed to pay $61B for something that will never work?

And is just a giant Trump grift.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Announced "price tag" was $176 billion. With one ninth of population, he wants to charge one third.

No deal.

[applegrove]

5. Nope. Not interested in becoming the 51st state. Only interested in the Golden Dome because all those Russian missiles

will be shot down over the Canadian Arctic.

[quakerboy]

12. Would you trust trumps america to actually shoot down those missiles for you

if you were canada?

I certainly wouldnt. If we are building such a system, seems to me we need access to their airspace more than they need us.

7. Maybe Canada will pay for it the same way Mexico paid for the wall

[Paladin]

8. Canada needs to tell trump to fuck himself.

No Golden Dome. No 51st state. Canada to trump: Fuck yourself.

[DFW]

9. Canada will probably say they'll think about it.

That's diplomatic speak for "fuck off."

[Paladin]

10. Suits me. (nt)

[Prairie Gates]

11. King Charles should tell Trump that he will never step in the UK again if he doesn't stop this shit

Honestly,

[Javaman]

14. as I have been saying all along. this is just one giant grift.

this will never ever be built.

they are trying to pull a "Star Wars 2.0".

ray-gun tried this shit. everyone knew it was never ever going to work, especially back then when the tech to attempt something like that didn't exist.

now the tech bros have convinced the orange ignoramus to try again.

and just like last time (like during ray-guns time), he too sees dollar signs.

it was a grift back then, it's a grift now.

this will just further deepen our debt and enrich the ultra wealthy.

just. like. last. time.

[republianmushroom]

16. Just like Mexico paid for the wall.
