'Canada is not for sale'

In response to Donald Trump's proposal for Canada to join the United States as the '51st State,' Ottawa entrepreneur Liam Mooney launches hats bearing the words 'Canada is not for sale' modeled after the 'Make America Great Again' hats worn by the US president-elect. In just a few days, they have become a hit among Canadians, many of whom say they are more united in the face of Trump's comments.

00:00I'm working on finding like $300,000 just to...
00:10I want to say thank you...
00:30Well, Canada is not for sale.
00:55It's that simple.
00:56The idea of like, you know, just buying a nation and forcing it into annexation is absolutely
01:03absurd and we're a proud country.
01:05We love our country.
01:06People here work so hard and to be disrespected like that was, you know, it was time to make
01:12a really strong statement and say that Canada is not for sale.
01:16And I think at the end of the day, this crosses political perspective or party lines and it's
01:21really about Canadians and individual people coming together around this idea and believing
01:27and loving in our country, you know, at a time when we need it the most.
01:31We thought, hey, let's do what we can.
01:33Absolutely overwhelming.
01:34Canadians from coast to coast to coast around the world.
01:38We're selling into the United States.
01:39We're opening up shipping to international markets.
01:42It's been outrageously and exceptionally positive.
01:45It's been a lot of fun.
01:46You know, I think Canadians, I mean, we want to be polite, but I think, you know, you back
01:51people into a corner and I think based off the uniting factor I'm hearing, you know,
01:56people care about the country and there's a uniting factor in that.
01:59It's like we don't want to be pushed around.
02:01Yeah, you're right.
02:02It's a polite way of saying, you know, bug off, you know.
02:05So hopefully they get the message and if they don't, well, you know, we'll negotiate and
02:10message to them.
02:11Most people do unite.
02:13I think it really does make you rethink your Canadian identity.
02:16You're like, OK, do I want to be American?
02:18Do I really want that?
02:19I would prefer not to.
02:20I like being Canadian.
02:22It's like gently and kindly, please stay away kind of thing.
02:26Yes.
02:27I would say it's an extremely Canadian way of saying that.
02:29Yeah.
