Canada on Saturday rejected US President Donald Trump's proposal to reinstate Russia in the G7, with Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly saying this will not happen.

"I’m telling the position of Canada, no way this will happen," Joly said, following a G7 meeting on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference in Germany.

Her remarks came amid ongoing discussions about Russia's role on the global stage, with Trump proposing its reintegration into the G7 and saying expelling Moscow "was a mistake."

However, Joly stressed that the G7’s stance is unified and resolute, particularly in light of Russia’s "illegal invasion" of Ukraine.

Russia was part of the group of industrialized nations, previously called the G8, until its exclusion after it annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.

Only nations can decide who to admit. Canada is merely a state, like Alabama.

Russia has MORE IMPORTANT things to do than waste their time with a bunch of Weenies, even if Trump is trying to make them grow up.

Cool. No Russia.

Ok, then we can start with G2 and review applications from prospective additional members.

Canada is, as usual, a dollar short and a day late….

Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov said that the format of the Seven Group (G7) is outdated and Russia has no desire to return to it.

“What is called the G7 today is an outdated format. It is naive to think that it decides something in new international realities ” - said Stepanov.

️ He emphasized that Russia is betting on formats such as BRICS, SCO and Group twenty (G20), which, in his opinion, are real global control mechanisms.

G7 is a worthless antique.

Triangulation. The uni-party has made it necessary.

** Canada is merely a state, like Alabama. **

More like a bunch of universities in the SEC. Some provinces may spin off and join us. Quebec will be an independent (U. Notre Dame). A fence will be needed.

Better to normalize with Russia and normal Eastern Euros to hold back the savages.
Their 5th Columns are already in place.

Probably the G7 will cease to exist as it serves no apparent purpose in the modern world. I don’t think anybody can point to any particular accomplishment of the G7.
