Fox News Host Trolls Canadians?

During a recent segment on Jesse Watters Primetime, Fox News host Jesse Watters made a provocative remark regarding U.S.-Canadian relations. In his conversation with Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Watters suggested that if he were Canadian, he would view being “taken over” by the United States as a privilege. He emphasized that American citizenship is highly coveted by people around the world and expressed frustration that Canadians seemed to reject the idea of closer ties with the U.S.

In response, Premier Ford defended Canadian pride, stating that Canadians, like Americans, are proud of their national identity. He also suggested that a strong economic partnership between the two nations, including a great trade deal, could be a powerful and beneficial development for both countries. Ford maintained that such cooperation would make North America an even greater global force.

This exchange reflected ongoing discussions about the close relationship between the U.S. and Canada, especially regarding economic and trade policies. Watters’ comment, though likely intended to be lighthearted, raised the idea that America’s global power and influence could be a model for other countries, including Canada. For some conservatives, there’s a belief that deeper integration or alignment with the U.S. would benefit Canada economically and politically.

The conversation also echoed broader debates in political circles, where some have mused about the possibility of greater economic ties—or even a more significant merger—between the U.S. and its northern neighbor. While such comments may seem far-fetched to some, they align with a broader conservative view that American strength and influence can be a positive force for North America as a whole.
