NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh became the first Canadian political leader to call on 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.
Singh is in Quebec on Wednesday, making a foreign policy pitch at the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations.
The G7 comprises the seven wealthiest economies and the European Union.
Each year, the G7 presidency rotates between countries, culminating in a leaders' summit. Canada will host its summit in Kananaskis, Alta., from June 15 to 17.
In addition to Singh's calls, one of his party's MPs wants Trump to be banned from the country entirely.
NDP MP Charlie Angus has sponsored a petition from Albertan Gerard Aldridge, which has more than 23,000 signatures. The petition calls on the Canadian government to refuse Trump entry to Canada because of his criminal conviction and actions in office.
WATCH | Petition allows Canadians to 'express their anger,' says NDP MP: NDP MP Charlie Angus says the petition he's sponsoring to Parliament to strip Elon Musk of his Canadian citizenship is about 'sending a message' to Musk and the U.S. government. Legal experts say someone's citizenship can only be revoked if it can be proven that they committed fraud or misrepresentation to obtain it.Angus has also sponsored a petition to strip Trump ally and Canadian citizen Elon Musk of his citizenship.
Along with uninviting Trump, Singh is calling for the meeting to be refocused on building a common front against Trump.
"Canada's turn as host of the G7 should be a summit on how the world can work together to resist Donald Trump," Singh said.
The NDP leader also called Trump a "fascist."
"What do you call a guy who threatens his allies including with the use of military force, spreads disinformation, proclaims he is above the law and fires anyone who won't do what he says — even those in law enforcement and the military? A fascist," Singh said.
