Michael Bublé: Canadier finds clear words for Trump

While the Oscar ceremony was largely apolitical in Los Angeles at the beginning of March, Michael Bublé (49) took a position on current events at the Juno Award on March 30th in Vancouver. With a view of Donald Trump (78), he emphasized Canada visions: “We are not available.”

In view of the US president’s customs and annexation threats to his northern neighbor, the singer added that Canada was “the greatest nation in the world” because the country experiences a wave of patriotism. “People, we are unique. We are beautiful,” said Bublé, who moderated the evening, the audience in his hometown Vancouver. Since Trump’s plans, which include the threat of 25 percent tariffs on goods from Canada from April 2, the Canadians have reacted with a wave of nationalism.

“If you sink deep, we climb up,” said the 49-year-old, reported. The Canadians would love their country. “And if you love something, you stand up for it and we will always do that.” He emphasized: “We will do it because we are impressive because we are fearless because we not only recognize our differences, but also accept them.” Because they not only made them stronger, but also “much more interesting”.

Bublé brought his wife, the Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato (37), to the stage of the Rogers Arena. He introduced them as “one of the latest and proudest citizens of Canada”.
