ST. CATHARINES, Ontario - eTradeWire -- If President Trump believes that we will willingly renounce our autonomy, he simply doesn't know us right. We Canadians cherish our sovereignty, our homeland, and our unique Canadian identity, values, and heritage.

As a member of the G7, Canada is one of the most developed nations in the world, with the 10th largest economy as of 2020, based on GDP [source: World Bank]. We have a distinct culture, social structure, legal system, and political values that should not be subsumed under those of another nation. We do not want to lose what we have fought so hard to build and preserve.

No to any proposal that threatens to make Canada the 51st State. Instead, we should be working towards strengthening our position on the world stage and making progress on issues that matter most to Canadians. Our sovereignty is not negotiable. Please join me in sending a clear message that we will fiercely protect our homeland and our independence. Sign this petition to support the preservation of Canadian sovereignty.

Although there was a pause put into effect just hours before the February 4, 2025 00:1 Eastern for 30, it is imperative that we Canadians let the world know that "Preserve Canadian Sovereignty: No to becoming the 51st State of United States!"

Here is the link to the ONLINE Petition where you can sign and show your support for Canada and fellow Canadians. https://www.change.org/no_to_51st_state
