“如果加拿大成为宝贵的第51个国家，选举一个有能力和智慧将你们的税收减半、免费将你们的军事力量提高到世界最高水平、让你们的汽车、钢铁、铝、木材、能源和所有其他行业的规模翻两番、零关税或零税收的人。特朗普周一说，似乎把自己称为候选人。
他补充说，“美国不能再像过去那样每年花费数千亿美元来补贴加拿大。除非加拿大是一个州，否则毫无意义!”
尽管特朗普提出了建议，但加拿大人不能给他投票，因为他不在选票上。加拿大有16个注册政党，自由党和保守党是最主要的。其他政党包括绿党、自由党、统一党和加拿大未来党。
针对总统的帖子，保守党领袖皮埃尔·波伊列夫尔(Pierre Poilievre)发表了尖锐的回应，称特朗普应该“不要插手我们的选举”。
“唯一能决定加拿大未来的人是投票箱前的加拿大人。“加拿大将永远是自豪、主权和独立的，我们永远不会成为第51个州，”波伊列夫尔在一篇文章中写道在X上发布。“今天，加拿大人可以投票支持变革，这样我们就可以加强我们的国家，自立自强，从一个强大的位置上对抗美国。”
加拿大总理、自由党领袖马克·卡尼发布了一份X上的视频周一的信息是:“这是加拿大——我们决定这里发生什么。”
最新民调显示，自由党领先于保守党，而就在几个月前，保守党还领先25个百分点。
加拿大实行议会制，这意味着如果自由党在选举中赢得大多数席位，或者能够与另一个政党的成员组成少数党政府，卡尼将继续担任总理。
几乎所有的选举投票都将在美国东部时间周一晚上9点30分结束。
Trump suggests Canadians should elect him, making the country the 51st state
In asocial media poston the day of Canada's election, President Donald Trump suggested that Canadians should vote for him in order for Canada to become the 51st state.
"Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, with ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America," Trump said on Monday, seeming to refer to himself as the candidate.
He added, "America can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!"
Despite Trump’s suggestion, Canadians cannot vote for him since he is not on the ballot. There are 16 registered political parties in Canada -- with the Liberals and the Conservatives being the most dominant. Other parties include the Green Party, the Libertarian Party, the United Party and the Canadian Future Party.
In response to the president's post, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre issued a sharp reply, saying Trump should "stay out of our election."
"The only people who will decide the future of Canada are Canadians at the ballot box. Canada will always be proud, sovereign, and independent, and we will NEVER be the 51st state," Poilievre wrote in apost on X. "Today, Canadians can vote for change so we can strengthen our country, stand on our own two feet, and stand up to America from a position of strength."
Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader Mark Carney posted avideo on Xon Monday with the message: "This is Canada -- and we decide what happens here."
Latest polls show the Liberals ahead of the Conservatives, when only a few months ago the Conservatives held a 25-point lead.
Canada has a parliamentary system, meaning if the Liberals win a majority of seats in the election, or are able to form a minority government with members of another party, Carney will continue to serve as prime minister.
Nearly all of the polls for the election are expected to close by 9:30 p.m. ET on Monday.
