The government of Manitoba is hosting a Rally for Canada the the Legislative building in downtown Winnipeg on Sunday.
Premier Wab Kinew said his government helped organize the rally to provide a chance for family and friends to “show their Manitoban and Canadian pride and send a message — we will never be the 51st state.”
The rally, which will include activities for kids and families, including a performance by Juno award-winning musician Fred Penner, comes after U.S. President Donald Trump continually made comments about Canada becoming the 51st state.
