U.S. President Donald Trump says Canadians would have 'much better' health coverage if Canada became the 51st state.

U.S. President Donald Trump says Canadians would have “much better” health coverage if Canada became the 51st state.

He made the remarks during a briefing in North Carolina, where he toured areas struck by Hurricane Helene on Friday.

“I would love to see Canada be the 51st state,” he said. “The Canadian citizens, if that happened, would get a very big tax cut – a tremendous tax cut – because they are very highly taxed.”

“They’d have much better health coverage. I think the people of Canada would like it,” said the president.

Spring for the boot if it’s an option. Way better than crutches.

It was a sprain just before Christmas so they gave us crutches she needed for a week, she’s at probably 80% better now.

We can go on evening walks again, so it seems to be healing well.

Ah good to hear she’s on the mend. Well just to note for any future injuries, boots are way better. I used crutches for a day before adding the boot so I could go to work and stuff. They didn’t even give me the option initially and I’m not sure why. It was far more comfortable having it on and I never wanted to take it off!

That would make sense. I was wrapping her foot in a tensor bandage daily for a few weeks and the pressure really helped.
