The Maple Annexation: Is Canada Already the 51st State?

In a move that has set off alarm bells across North America and fueled speculation among global conspiracy theorists, President Donald Trump welcomed newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to the White House today — but some suspect the meeting wasn’t just about tariffs.

Officially, the two leaders met to discuss trade tensions exacerbated by Trump’s recent “Tariff Storm 2.0,” which has seen steep duties placed on everything from maple syrup to snow tires. But sources close to the Situation Room tell Conspiracy Theory Daily that behind the scenes, Trump’s ambitions may go far beyond commerce.

According to a leaked memo allegedly retrieved from a White House intern’s misplaced fanny pack, the president has floated a bold new initiative internally: Project Polar Merger — a confidential plan to annex Canada by 2026.

The Clues Are All There

While dismissed by mainstream outlets, independent researchers have pointed to several oddities surrounding today’s summit. For one, the American flag flying alongside the Canadian one on the White House lawn appeared to have 51 stars, with the extra star reportedly stitched in with what one eyewitness described as “a little too much enthusiasm.”

Further fueling speculation is Prime Minister Carney’s sudden rise to power. Carney, a former Bank of England governor with dual citizenship, won the Canadian election just last week following a whirlwind campaign — one many believe was covertly backed by U.S. interests. A photo circulating online shows Carney boarding a private jet in Florida just days before the election, allegedly after a “strategy meeting” with Jared Kushner at Mar-a-Lago.

“The timeline is suspicious,” said Lacey Trammell, editor of the North American Sovereignty Monitor. “You don’t just go from banker to prime minister overnight unless someone’s pulling strings. The whole thing smells like a velvet coup.”

Maple Syrup, Strategic Oil, and Hockey Rights

Proponents of the Maple Annexation Theory argue the U.S. has long eyed Canada’s resources — including its vast oil sands, freshwater reserves, and cultural dominance in winter sports. The tipping point, however, may have come with Canada’s refusal to lower its maple syrup export tariffs — a move Trump reportedly called “a personal betrayal.”

During a brief press appearance today, Trump joked, “We love Canada. Maybe someday it’ll just be part of us, who knows?” While the line drew laughter from the crowd, a hot mic captured Carney replying, “We’ll discuss that after the paperwork.”

Some believe that paperwork may already be in progress. A Reddit user claiming to be a low-level employee at the U.S. State Department shared a blurry image of what appears to be a proposed “Transnational Integration Treaty,” bearing the signatures “DJT” and “MC.” The post was quickly deleted — but not before it was archived 114 times.

Mainstream Denials, But Odd Silence from Ottawa

The Canadian government has publicly denied any annexation plans, calling the claims “absurd” and “completely without merit.” Yet notably, the official statement was released not by Carney, but by a deputy spokesperson in Montreal — a city believed to be under heavy surveillance from U.S. drones, according to flight tracking forums.

In addition, Carney has not returned to Canada since his election win, and his last Instagram post — a photo of a Tim Hortons donut beside a MAGA hat — has raised more questions than it answers.

What Comes Next?

Theories are now swirling that Trump may announce a “North American Unity Pact” during his July 4th Independence Day rally, potentially unveiling a new flag design featuring a maple leaf nestled inside the American eagle’s talons.

Until then, skeptics are advised to watch for the telltale signs: increased Tim Hortons openings in the U.S., the sudden disappearance of the Canadian dollar, and any mention of “borderless snowplow logistics.”
