Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, a well-known Canadian entrepreneur, has stirred up quite the conversation with his intriguing proposal to merge the economies of the United States and Canada. He believes that such a union could bring about significant benefits for both nations. O’Leary is planning to visit Mar-a-Lago to initiate discussions on this bold idea.
According to O’Leary, about half of Canadians are curious about former President Trump’s suggestion regarding an economic partnership between the two countries. He shared his thoughts enthusiastically: “Canadians want to hear more… what this could be is the beginning of an economic union.” This potential alliance could lead to a powerful combination by erasing borders and fostering cooperation in trade and finance.

O’Leary envisions a scenario where a common currency might be introduced, simplifying taxation systems across both nations and facilitating seamless trade. He even imagines creating a new kind of passport similar to those used in the European Union, which would allow for easier movement between Canada and the U.S. His enthusiasm is evident as he states, “I like this idea, and at least half of Canadians are interested.”
With plans to head to Mar-a-Lago, O’Leary is eager to start shaping this narrative. He expresses confidence in gaining trust from fellow Canadians: “The 41 million Canadians, I think most of them would trust me on this deal.” The prospect of such an economic collaboration raises many questions and possibilities.
What do the Canadians think? “Sounds good to us!”

Based.
The comments come after Trump's Christmas Day message where he said Canadians would get a 60% tax cut if they agreed to become a US state.
