Kevin O'Leary Proposes US-Canada Economic Union

Kevin O'Leary, a Canadian businessman and Shark Tank star, is proposing an economic union between Canada and the United States, inspired by President-elect Donald Trump's recent comments about potentially annexing Canada. O'Leary believes that merging the economies could create a powerful bloc and suggests establishing a common currency and passport akin to the European Union. He claims that many Canadians are open to this idea, although a recent poll indicated that only 13% support the notion of Canada becoming the 51st state. O'Leary plans to pitch this concept to Trump at Mar-a-Lago, emphasizing the benefits of combining resources and erasing borders. However, skepticism remains regarding the feasibility and desirability of such a union, with critics suggesting it predominantly favors Canada. Trump's earlier remarks about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau being a 'governor' have further fueled discussions about this controversial proposal.
