Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told Donald Trump on Tuesday that his country will never be for sale, shutting down the U.S. president’s repeated calls to make Canada the 51st state.

“There are some places that are never for sale,” Carney said in the Oval Office.

Canada is “not for sale” and “won’t be for sale ever,” the prime minister said.

Trump replied: “Never say never.”

    Canada should play the longer game and agree to join the US if:

    • each province becomes a state.
    • more representatives get added to accommodate the additional states.
    • French remains an official/supported language.
    • poutine becomes a national dish.
    • 5 years of no income tax for formerly Canadian citizens.
    • favorable conversion to USD
