Michael Bubl\u00e9 told US president Donald Trump where he can stick his plans for Canada this weekend, taking aim at the Republican’s latest foreign policies in a damning public statement.<\/p>\n

Whilst presenting the annual Juno Awards on Sunday (30 Mar), the\u00a0musician<\/a>\u00a0made a series of\u00a0political<\/a>\u00a0puns before turning his attention to 78-year-old\u00a0Trump<\/a>, who recently hinted at plans to take over the Great White North.<\/p>\n

Back in February, the president allegedly made a series of comments about turning\u00a0Canada<\/a>\u00a0into America’s ’51st state’.<\/p>\n

Prior to the 4 Nations Faceoff Championship\u00a0Hockey<\/a>\u00a0Game in Boston – which saw the\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0and Canada go head-to-head –\u00a0Trump issued a threat about his plans for his northern neighbours<\/a> during a call with the American players beforehand.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0news<\/a>\u00a0emerged after Team USA boss Bill Guerin went\u00a0to<\/a>\u00a0The Athletic following the game, seemingly rubbing former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau up the wrong way.<\/p>\n

“You can\u2019t take our country,” the politician – who has since been replaced by fellow Trump critic Mark Carney as PM – shared on X at the time. “And you can\u2019t take our game.”<\/p>\n

Trudeau’s sentiment was also this week echoed by Canadian singer Michael Bubl\u00e9, who defended his home-nation’s right to exist without the intervention of the States.<\/p>\n

Hosting the music awards over the weekend, the 47-year-old not only refuted Trump’s ’51st state’ plan, but hit back at the staggering tariffs he placed onto Canada last month.<\/p>\n

“Folks, we\u2019re one of a kind,” Bubl\u00e9 began. “We are beautiful. We are the greatest nation on Earth.<\/p>\n

He then emphasised,\u00a0as per<\/a>\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter: “And we are not for sale.”<\/p>\n

Father-of-five Trump has been\u00a0accused of setting off a global trade war<\/a>\u00a0in recent weeks, after\u00a0slapped extreme tariffs on the likes of Mexico and the EU<\/a>. In doing so, he Canada with a blanket 25 percent tariff on all Canadian goods.<\/p>\n

Touching on the controversial tariffs, Bubl\u00e9 continued: “When they go low, we get high, we go high. Probably the same thing. Bottom line, we love this country. And when you love something, you show up for it, and we always will.<\/p>\n

“We will, because we\u2019re formidable, because we\u2019re fearless, because we don\u2019t just acknowledge our differences, we embrace them.”<\/p>\n

He added of the diversity and cultural differences that Canada boast compared to America: “Because they don\u2019t just make us stronger, they make us a hell of lot more interesting.”<\/p>\n

“Now as Canadians face from our neighbour an existential challenge and economic crisis, Canadians are showing what we are made off,” the 53-year-old hit out. “Standing up for everyone\u2019s fundamental rights is the only way to protect our freedom.”<\/p>\n

Carney – who took over in the position last month – went on to declare that Canada’s relationship with the US was ‘over’.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters in Ottawa last week (28 Mar), the 60-year-old explained: “It\u2019s clear the US is no longer a reliable partner. It is possible that with comprehensive negotiations, we could reestablish an element of confidence but there will be no going backwards.”<\/p>\n

He added: “There\u2019s even more to do, and that\u2019s why I chose to go to France and the United Kingdom, two long-standing and reliable partners, friends and allies of Canada.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
