Bryan Adams Takes Swipe at Donald Trump’s Expansionist Dreams With ’51st State’ Protest Song: ‘You Better Show Some Respect’

The pointed rock tune was released on Wednesday (July 1) to coincide with Canada Day.

Bryan Adams has a very clear message for anyone down South who thinks his home country of Canada is on the market: “We’ll never be the 51st state.” The Ontario-bred rocker released a pointed protest song aimed at an audience of one on Wednesday (July 1), just in time for Canada Day, which this year celebrates the 159th anniversary of Confederation for our neighbors to the North.

“51st State,” was released on YouTube and other social media platforms as a spicy rejoinder to U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated musings about absorbing the sovereign nation into the fold and making it, well, just refer back to the song’s title.
