Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre says a Canadian prime minister should tell U.S. President-elect Donald Trump that “Canada will never be the 51st state.”

Trump’s persistent jabs at Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicate that the incoming president is seeking to capitalize on what he perceives as the vulnerabilities of the Liberal government for his own benefit, Poilievre told The Toronto Sun in an exclusive interview.
