Michael Buble is one famous Canadian who is not happy about President Donald Trump taking aim at Canada — by waging a tariffs war and talking of turning America’s northern neighboring country into the 51st state.

The Grammy Award-winning singer, who was born in Vancouver, took a dig at the president while hosting the Juno Awards on Sunday night at Rogers Arena.
