Kevin O'Leary, who is the renowned Canadian businessman and Shark Tank star has eventually sparked widespread controversy by supporting US President- elect Donald Trump's proposal to merge the US and Canada, reported Daily Beast. Kevin O'Leary actually claimed that over half of Canadians are interested in becoming the 51st state, at the same time, which is a statement vehemently rejected by his fellow Canadians.
According to Daily Beast, the Canadians have launched a fierce backlash against Kevin O'Leary while calling him a ‘traitor’ and an ‘absolute clown’ on social media. Adding on to that, many people have eventually criticized his assertion that Canadians want to hear more about the merger while numerous posts mocked his proposal.

The credibility of Kevin O’Leary is further undermined by his political history as when he ran for leadership of the Canadian Conservative Party in the year 2017, then he had received a mere one percent of the vote. In spite of this, he still actually continues to push the merger idea while already planning to discuss the proposal with US President- elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and suggesting a European Union style arrangement with shared currency and defense collaboration, noted Daily Beast.
