Michael Bublé recently criticized US President Donald Trump’s foreign policies, particularly his comments about potentially making Canada the “51st state.” During the Juno Awards on March 30, Bublé made political puns before addressing Trump’s controversial statements from February and March. Trump had hinted at annexing Canada and imposed severe tariffs on Canadian goods, sparking backlash.
Bublé strongly defended Canada’s sovereignty, declaring it “not for sale” and emphasizing the country’s beauty and uniqueness. He also criticized Trump’s tariffs, expressing pride in Canada’s diversity, which he believes makes the country stronger and more interesting.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his successor, Mark Carney, have also opposed Trump’s actions, calling for a shift in Canada’s diplomatic focus.
