The federal leaders are fanned out across the country again as election day nears.
Radio-Canada is reporting today that U.S. President Donald Trump used the term “51st state” during his March 28 call with Mark Carney, who told reporters later on that the U.S. president “respected Canadian sovereignty” during the call.
Carney confirmed during an event in Port Moody, B.C., today that Trump used “51st state” rhetoric, but said the president “absolutely” respected Canada’s sovereignty.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet all criticized the Liberal leader during morning events.
The U.S. president suggested again yesterday at the White House that Canada would be better off as a U.S. state.
