"We are not for sale"—Michael Bublé takes a dig at President Trump at Juno 2025

Michael Bublé, who was hosting Juno 2025, took a dig at US President Donald Trump amidst Trump's "tariff threats" on Canadian goods and his statement referring to Canada as the 51st state of the United States by stating that Canada is not for sale.

Michael Bublé is a well-known Canadian singer and songwriter particularly known for his songs 'Feeling Good,' 'Sway,' etc. The fifteen-time Juno Winner was hosting the Juno Awards, often described as the Canadian Grammy, on March 30 at the Rogers Arena, Vancouver, when he took the stage to share that,

"Folks, we’re one of a kind. We are beautiful. We are the greatest nation on Earth. And we are not for sale."

The patriotic sentiment that Michael Bublé's words were something that many Canadians have shared ever since the trade war between Canada and the US started after Trump signed executive orders that imposed a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods except oil and energy exports starting April 2. The news created a surge of Canadian nationalism, with Canadians giving support to homegrown brands as well as entertainment media.

In his speech, Bublé further added that.

"Bottom line, we love this country. And when you love something, you show up for it, and we always will. We will, because we’re formidable, because we’re fearless, because we don’t just acknowledge our differences, we embrace them. Because they don’t just make us stronger, they make us a hell of lot more interesting."

According to CBC Canada, other than Bublé, stars like Anne Murray, who won the Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as Boi-1da, who received the International Achievement Award, also had tones of Canadian patriotism in their acceptance speeches.
