"Not Your 51st" - Canadian Anti-Trump Song (U.S. Marines' Hymn Parody)

This song is a bold and ironic remake of the U.S. Marine Hymn, turning a patriotic American anthem into a defiant Canadian protest song against Donald Trump’s tariffs and threats of annexation. Originally repurposed as a pro-Trump campaign song in 2016, we’ve flipped the script—using the same tune to reject his trade war tactics and his suggestion that Canada could become the 51st state. With themes of Canadian independence and sovereignty, the lyrics push back against economic intimidation and political arrogance, making it clear that Canada will never bow to pressure or threats. The song celebrates the strength, resilience, and freedom of the True North, standing firm against those who try to undermine it. Lyrics: From the Rockies to the Maritimes, Through the prairies wide and free, We won’t bow to any tyrant, Or let Trump lay claim to we. Slapping tariffs, spewing outrage, Thinking we’ll just bend the knee, But this land is strong and sovereign, And we know it shall be free. You mock friends, you burn your bridges, Then demand we play along, But we won’t be pushed or threatened, Just because you think you’re strong. Trade is fair when trust is standing, Not when built on petty lies, So just take your deals and give us peace, We see through your thin disguise. From the North’s cold winds to the Great Lakes, We stand tall and won’t be swayed, Not by walls or fear-mongering speeches, Or by tariffs that you’ve laid. True north strong and free will always live, And we'll choose our ways ourselves, No dictator, no pretender, Gets to tell us where to go. You say we would be the 51st, Like we’d throw our past away, But our fathers fought for freedom, And that flag is here to stay. We don’t need your guns or slogans, We don’t need your hate or lies, We’ve got kindness, strength, and honor, And we see through your disguise. So just raise a glass to northern skies, To the land we call our own, Through the storms and through the battles, Our true colors have been shown. Maple leaves don’t fall for tyrants, We won’t bow, we won’t obey, We are Canada, strong and sovereign, And too bad, we're here to stay. #canada #trump #justintrudeau #maga #51ststate #usa #elonmusk #ottawa #usmarine #patrioticsong #patrioticmusic
