Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis says incoming U.S. President Donald Trump is not merely joking about making Canada the ‘51st’ U.S. state, and that the Declaration of North America (DNA) agreement signed between the countries in 2023 has eroded Canada’s sovereignty.

Predictively, the elites will claim the DNA will have no impact on Canadian sovereignty. In the end, we wait until it innocuously seeps in and impacts our national rule-making, eventually becoming a part of our national DNA,” Lewis said in a post on social media platform X on Dec. 28.
