Canadian leaders have strongly responded to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest comments about them. Trump criticized Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland in a recent interview.

Poilievre quickly reacted to Trump’s remarks, making it clear that he does not support Trump's "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement. "Mr. President, it is true. I am not MAGA. I am for Canada First. Always,” he wrote on social media. He also emphasized Canada’s independence, stating, "We will NEVER be the 51st state."

Trump’s comments about Poilievre came during an interview with Ben Domenech. He suggested that Poilievre was making a mistake by trying to be “the tough guy” against him. Trump warned that politicians who challenge him end up losing badly.

Freeland also faced attacks from Trump, who called her a “whack” and claimed he influenced Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to remove her from the cabinet. He accused Freeland of being harmful to Canada, saying, “She’s absolutely terrible for the country.”

Freeland hit back at Trump on social media. She compared his criticism to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to ban her from Russia. “I don’t back down — and Trump and Putin know it,” she wrote. “I’m ready to fight for Canada — and win.”

When contacted for a response, a spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment on Trump’s remarks.

Freeland’s resignation from her cabinet position in December surprised many in the Liberal Party. She later explained in her resignation letter that stepping down was the “only honest and viable path” for her.

Trump used the moment to further attack Freeland, calling her actions in office “totally toxic” and saying she would “not be missed.” The Spectator’s Ben Domenech also mocked Freeland, calling her the “nuttiest” candidate in the recent Liberal leadership debates.

Ongoing Concerns Over Canadian Sovereignty

Trump’s latest remarks are part of a growing pattern of comments about Canada’s sovereignty. Last year, he suggested that if U.S. tariffs hurt Canada’s economy, the country should consider becoming America’s 51st state. Canadian officials dismissed the statement as a joke at first, but concerns have grown in recent months.

Trudeau reportedly told business leaders that the threat of U.S. annexation is a “real thing.” Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey also expressed concern, saying that Trump is “definitively looking towards the 51st state being Canada.” Trump has even referred to Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau” in a mocking manner.

A recent survey found that Trump’s influence on Canada is now a major political issue. One in five Canadians listed Trump and U.S. relations as their top concern, ranking it higher than jobs, health care, and inflation.

Freeland has said that dealing with Trump is key to Canada’s economic future. As tensions between Canada and the U.S. continue, the impact of another Trump administration remains a major topic of debate.
