Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly wrapped up the G7 meeting in La Malbaie, Que., on Friday with a stern message for U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: hands off our country.

“What I said to the secretary is Canada’s sovereignty is not up to debate, period,” she said at the closing press conference of the G7 foreign ministers meeting.

“There’s no argument, there’s no conversation about it, there’s no need to talk about it,” she said. “You’re here, you respect us, you respect our sovereignty, you’re in our country, you respect our people. Period.”

Joly made the remarks a day after U.S. President Donald Trump repeated his call for Canada to join the United States, saying his country does not need anything Canada has to sell.

    Crying about electricity, crying about dairy, crying about oil, crying about steel, crying about a lot of things “his country doesn’t need”. 🤡

      Except the quarter-trillion of energy exports they take that apparently is a “subsidy” to Canada.

      What a fucking clown.

    Tea Party marco, what a doofus. I’m curious to know what Canadians think of Ms. Joly, AND I’m glad to hear of her brooking no bullshit from the bullshit peddler.
