At the G7 summit in La Malbaie, Que., Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly made a staunch declaration in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to Canadian sovereignty. Joly emphasized that the issue was “not up to debate, period,” asserting Canada’s independence and autonomy. Despite some European counterparts initially dismissing Trump’s remarks as humorous, Joly highlighted the anxiety felt by Canadians and their pride in their sovereign nation. She underscored the seriousness of the situation in her discussions with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Canada’s sovereignty is a matter that is non-negotiable and fundamental to the country’s identity as a sovereign nation.
