Former Canadian PM Jean Chrétien Lambasts Donald Trump Over 'Canada 51st US State' Claim

In a scathing critique of former US President Donald Trump's assertion that Canada should be admitted as the 51st US state, former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien has fired back with his signature wit.

"Give your head a shake!" Chrétien joked recently while addressing reporters in Ottowa about Trump's comments during his presidency.

Chretien's remarks were aimed at cautioning against any kind of bid to transform Canada into part of the United States, given historical and cultural differences between the two nations.
