"So there's a narrative in America, and the narrative is that you were about to win and your party was about to wind, but then Trump came along and said he was gonna turn Canada into a 51st state, and everybody went crazy. Is that accurate? Rogan asked Poilievre. I would say everybody went crazy, Poilievre said."
"Canada's not for sale. We're never going to be the 51st state. We love Americans as neighbors and friends, but we want to be uniquely and we want to be sovereign as Canadians. It's our country. It's where we grow up. You're a patriot as an American. I'm a patriot as a Canadian."
"It's where my grandfather arrived. It's where our collective ancestors put on military uniforms and sailed to fight wars. It's where our grandkids are going to live. We're very proudly Canadian so we're never going to be the 51st state. And I just wish he'd knock that s**t off so that we can get back to talking about the things that we do as two separate countries that are actually friends."
Joe Rogan hosted Canadian Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre on his podcast to discuss Canadian politics and Trump's controversial statements about annexing Canada. Rogan theorized that Trump's annexation rhetoric inadvertently helped Canada's Liberal Party win by unifying Canadian opposition. Poilievre confirmed that Canadians were upset by Trump's comments, emphasizing that Canada is not for sale and will never become a U.S. state. Poilievre expressed Canadian patriotism and sovereignty, noting that Canadians want to maintain their distinct identity and independent nation status. He urged Trump to stop making such statements so the two countries could focus on their bilateral relationship as separate, friendly nations.
