After President Trump's remarks about potentially making Canada the 51st state, a petition gained traction against merchandise on Amazon that jokes about this idea. Over 57,000 Canadians signed the petition urging Amazon to remove these items, with many viewing them as threats to their national identity. Commenters expressed outrage, indicating they would stop purchasing from Amazon in protest. Despite complaints, Amazon stated that these products do not violate their policies on offensive merchandise, highlighting the ongoing tensions in U.S.-Canada relations amid trade disputes.
"This is offensive and foments dissent and war. I will immediately not buy products from Amazon," one commenter wrote underneath the petition.
"This is not a joke to us. It's a threat to our autonomy and identity as Canadians," Ontario resident Sue Williams-Dunn, who started the petition in February, wrote in its description.
