Trudeau: Canadian lawmaker’s call to bar Trump from G7 meeting ‘not responsible
The Hill ^ | 02/28/25 | Ailia Zehra

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday rejected a call from Parliament member Jagmeet Singh to bar President Trump from attending the Group of Seven (G7) summit that is set to take place in Canada in June, saying it is “not responsible.”

Trudeau, who announced his intent to step down as prime minister and as the leader of the Liberal Party last month, will not be the country’s head during the G7 summit of leading industrialized nations in Kananaskis, Alberta, this summer. Despite the resignation, he called the demand to disinvite Trump from the gathering “shocking.”

“I think it’s easy for politicians to toss out easy and shocking things to say. We see a lot of that around the world these days,” Trudeau said during a news conference in Montreal, when asked about Singh’s proposal.

Singh, who is a leader of the New Democratic Party, is the first Canadian politician to have demanded Trump be uninvited from the summit.

In a statement, the lawmaker said, “Why would we invite someone who threatens our sovereignty and economic well-being? Why would we invite someone who threatens the economic well-being of allies and threatens the world’s stability?”

“Why would we allow a convicted criminal into our country,” Singh added.

Trump has recently garnered the disdain of Canadian citizens by threatening to impose significant tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from its northern neighbor and suggesting a merge of the countries to establish Canada as the 51st state.

On Feb. 11, Trudeau reacted strongly to the Trump administration’s proposal to place tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Criticizing the decision, he called the additional taxes “unjustified” and warned the U.S. that Canada would respond in kind “if it comes to that.”

“Tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum would be entirely unjustified,”

The G7 meeting is in June?
I think Messr. Trudeau will already have left his lofty perch by then, non? So, he would not be the one to ask about any such diplomatic clashes.

These meetings are a waste of money....Zoom it if they must. I’m sure DOGE would approve.

When we annex Canada, I think Tom Homan should deport Mr. Singh personally.

Trump should bar every other nation and show up by himself.

Trump could hold his own summit and get more attention and get more done.

He could invite Milei, Meloni and Orban for starters. I’m sure he could peel off Modi too if he felt there was a useful reason to. Nayib Bukele of El Salvador.

Suggestions welcomed.

“Why would we allow a convicted criminal into our country,” Singh added.

Well, it does bring some needed diversity. The other six are all unconvicted criminals.

Jagmeet Singh.... the guy who has been propping up Trudeau for the past three years. Otherwise, Trudeau would have been long gone.

BTW, Justin, we’re going to buy this, real estate you know.That’s what we do.
Saskatchewan[a] is a province in Western Canada. It is bordered on the west by Alberta, on the north by the Northwest Territories, on the east by Manitoba, to the northeast by Nunavut, and to the south by the United States (Montana and North Dakota). Saskatchewan and neighbouring Alberta are the only landlocked provinces of Canada.

I’m sure I’m not alone in wishing they would do exactly that. Then hold their meeting, pronounce their pronunciamentos, and pose for photographs. Declare victory. Greatest comedy show of all time.

Mr. President Trump, I would humbly suggest that The United States of America purchase as many provinces as possible in Canada, respectively Sir. A place on the earth Sir, far as I know the Creator ain’t any more here.

Actually, ‘Jughead’ Singh is from a third world city, Toronto.

He, like True-dolt and most of his cabinet, is s MFer, er, WEFer. In otherwords, a ChiCom operative. Because of his support for ‘Kalistan’, he is banned from entering India.

Personally, I’d like to fly him to India, provide him with a parachute, and drop him in the heart of India. Let the Indians deal with him.
