Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday dismissed a suggestion by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump that he might use "economic force" to make Canada the 51st U.S. state.

The president-elect said he'd use "economic force" to bring Canada into the US while also saying the northern neighbor had noting the US needs.

As Trump focuses on expanding the U.S. map, residents of Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico have spent years advocating for their own statehood.

Now to reaction to those explosive comments made by Donald Trump yesterday. The U-S president-elect saying he's willing to use - quote - 'economic force' to make Canada the '51st state'. It's sparking some strong reactions from Canadians.
