William Shatner says that the US should join Canada following Trump's 'insulting' comments [View all]
Star Trek legend William Shatner has hit back at Donald Trump’s continued interest in making Canada part of the United States, claiming the president’s comments are “insulting”.
“At a certain point, persistence becomes insulting,” said the 94-year-old. Shatner also joked that Carney should make a counteroffer to Trump and offer the US the chance to become Canada’s 11th province. “Think of the joy! And it’s the best thing,” said the star.
Shatner added: “Here you have a friendly group of people saying, ‘Come on over. It’s cleaner, there’s plenty of power, there’s some lovely people who want to work with you. Be our 11th province!’”

On Friday (9 May), he wrote: “To all of you wonderfully dear naive & gullible types out there whom I love so much… If you are angry about my posts on the US becoming a Canadian province: imagine how Canadians felt when an actual leader of a friendly neighbouring country floated that idea across the border. Doesn’t feel good; does it? Learn a lesson from it.”
