Canadian Leader Tells Former President to Stay Out of Their Politics
In a surprising turn during a recent rally, former U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to imply that Canadians would somehow be backing him on U.S. election day — a remark that quickly drew sharp reactions across the border.
Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre wasted no time responding, firmly telling Trump to “butt out” of Canadian affairs. Speaking at a press conference, Poilievre emphasized that Canadians have their own democratic process and do not take instructions from foreign political figures, regardless of their popularity or influence.
Political analysts noted that Trump’s comments, although likely meant to energize his own base, have triggered serious discussions in Canada about sovereignty and political independence. Several Canadian lawmakers from different parties echoed Poilievre’s sentiments, asserting that Canada’s political future remains firmly in Canadian hands.
As election season heats up in the U.S., leaders in Ottawa have made it clear: Canada’s political stage is not open for foreign interference — not even from a former U.S. president.
