New welcome signs unveiled by Canadian province of British Columbia. (Image: X) British Columbia has rolled out a new welcome sign campaign taking direct aim at President Donald Trump, declaring the province will "NEVER be the 51st state". The sign campaign is meant to counter Trump's repeated comments referring to Canada as the "51st state," while also reinforcing the province's stance on Canadian sovereignty amid rising tensions between Ottawa and Washington. The move follows renewed backlash after Trump shared social media posts and maps that showed Canada as part of the United States. Premier David Eby unveiled the signs during a news conference in Victoria on Tuesday, where officials also laid out measures connected to the ongoing trade dispute between the two countries. One version of the sign reads, "Strong, proud and will NEVER be the 51st state. Sorry!" Another welcomes visitors to British Columbia while listing local rules, ending with an icon that reads "Never 51st State." Eby didn't hold back when addressing Trump's online behavior either, calling the president "clearly unhinged" and describing his recent memes as bizarre and disturbing. He argued that this kind of behavior does not befit the leader of what he called the world's largest economy and largest army. The premier also pushed for British Columbia, and Canada more broadly, to build stronger domestic economic ties and pursue trade relationships beyond the United States. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also weighed in, posting on X that Mexico is not and will not become a colony or protectorate of any foreign country, though she did not directly reference Trump's map. Meanwhile, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reaffirmed that Greenland has no interest in becoming part of the United States. Denmark's Foreign Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, went further, saying the "disturbing" map suggests Trump still holds onto what he called a maximalist vision in his own mind.
