In response to Trump's trolling, Ontario's premier says Canada would buy Alaska and Minnesota [View all]

Minnesota has now found itself in the crossfire of some international trolling among North American government officials.

President-elect Donald Trump has teased Canada for the past month, making comments about turning the country into America’s 51st state, imposing tariffs on its products and using “economic force” to have it join the United States.

That had Ontario Premier Doug Ford thinking about his own territorial gains.

While speaking to a reporter Monday, Ford joked: “… to the president, I’ll make him a counteroffer. How about if we buy Alaska and we’ll throw in Minnesota and Minneapolis at the same time?”
