NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is the first Canadian political leader to call for the U.S. president to be uninvited from a major summit of world leaders this summer in Canada.

“Why would we invite someone who threatens our sovereignty and economic well-being? Why would we invite someone who threatens the economic well-being of allies and threatens the world’s stability? Why would we allow a convicted criminal into our country?” Singh said in a statement.

    Diplomatic immunity/passport. He can and will attend if not uninvited

      Uh, no. When he was president, Bush junior had to get special permission from the Canadian government to enter Canada, because he’d had a DUI conviction like 30 years earlier. Diplomatic passports / diplomatic immunity have to be granted by the nation being visited.

        Yes, and it’s almost certainly granted right now unless we put a stop to it.
