Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“It’s Not for Sale”: Canada’s Mark Carney Rejects Trump’s Annexation Threat

HeadlineMay 07, 2025

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with President Trump at the Oval Office Tuesday, where he rejected Trump’s call to annex Canada as the “51st state.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney: “And having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign last several months, it’s not for sale, won’t be for sale, ever.”

In response to Carney’s remarks, Trump said, “Never say never,” while Carney mouthed the words “never, never, never.” Trump also said during Tuesday’s Oval Office meeting that nothing Carney could say would persuade him to lift U.S. tariffs on Canada.
