Canada has strongly rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. could "buy" Canada, instead offering a bold and humorous counter-proposal: “How about we buy Alaska?” Ontario Premier Doug Ford,

President-elect Donald Trump continues to discuss the possibility of Canada becoming the 51st state in the United States of America.

The U.S. Interior Department on Wednesday said no bids were submitted for this week's oil and gas lease sale in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge — a sale the state has challenged as too restrictive and at odds with a 2017 law aimed at opening the refuge's sweeping coastal plan to exploration and development.

Ford has proposed buying Alaska as a counterproposal to Donald Trump’s frequent reference of Canada as America’s 51st state.

In the recent week, Donald Trump has repeatedly needled Canada about it becoming the 51st US state. He has also threatened to use "economic force" to absorb Canada into the US.

Another possibility would be crowdsourcing. The current population of Canada is just over 40 million. Dividing that figure into US$300-million gives you US$7.50 per head (CAD$10.80). For the (over)price of a large latte, we could all do this together!

Ahead of his second term, an emboldened Trump has articulated a vision of hemispheric expansionism. What’s he playing at?

Some of the talking points from the incoming President depict some tectonic trends. Having lived in tranquility with a gigantic landmass of Canada in the north, Trump believes it's time to erase the borders and make it the 51st state of the US.

Recent forecasts suggest some Americans might be getting a much-needed break from the freezing temperatures that have gripped much of the country.
