flag Minnesota's former governor said the state should consider joining Canada due to tensions with Trump's federal policies.

flag Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura suggested on January 28, 2026, that Minnesota consider joining Canada, citing tensions with the federal government under President Donald Trump, particularly over immigration enforcement and the potential use of the Insurrection Act. flag Speaking on the SpinSisters podcast, Ventura criticized Trump’s leadership and described Minnesota’s independent spirit as incompatible with federal overreach. flag He noted the state’s 547-mile border with Canada and expressed serious interest in exploring Canada’s willingness to accept Minnesota, though he acknowledged such a move would require congressional approval. flag The comments, made in a provocative tone, reflect broader political frustrations in the state but were not tied to any formal movement or legislative action.
