A Canadian politician who calls JD Vance his ‘brother’ said the vice president is not welcome in his home country until the Trump administration changes their rhetoric on the would-be ’51st state.’

Jamil Jivani is a conservative member of parliament who won re-election in his district Monday after his party lost what was once seen as a contest they were favored to win to Mark Carney’s Liberals. 

He’s now saying his old friend and college classmate isn’t welcome in Canada, at least until he feels his country is treated with respect after Donald Trump consistently suggested annexation. 

‘They need to probably reconsider some of their rhetoric and their policy before coming to Canada,’ said Jivani, who had dinner with Vance as recently as December and attended the inauguration.

The pair were friends long before they got into politics, having attended Yale Law School together, with Jivani joking that they’d been in a fantasy football league together the past 15 years. 

Jivani, who represents a district populated by thousands of auto workers, admits that there has been a distance between himself in the vice president.  

‘We haven’t talked in a while,’ he told Politico.

He also said that some of that is down to both of them being very busy, though the rift between their nations appears to mirror their own.

‘He’s busy, I’m busy. It’s just the nature of the work that we do. Certainly, the way they’ve talked about Canada has been a problem for me personally. I’m a proud Canadian. I’m focused on my community, and we’ll see what happens next.’

Jivani had to overcome an advertising campaign from his opponents tying him to the vice president and Trump’s rhetoric. 

‘They created commercials about me and JD being friends. They doctored pictures of us and dropped them in mailboxes in my riding,’ Jivani said. 

Ridings are the equivalent to districts in Canada.  

‘The misrepresentation of who I am, what I believe in, the misrepresentation of my commitment to this country, that stuff, was very, very frustrating.’

He said he won because his constituents understand that he chooses country over party and fights for Canada.  

Ultimately, Jivani is philosophical about where his friendship with the vice president stands for now.

‘It’s just the nature of having a friend in a situation like this. I kind of just acknowledge that we’re in different places, we have different priorities. He does his thing, I do my thing. And when this is all over, I’m sure we’ll talk again.’

DailyMail.com reached out to a spokesperson for Vice President Vance for comment.

Carney warned that Trump is ‘trying to break us so that America can own us’ in his victory speech after his Liberals won the federal election Monday. 

The Liberal Party is projected to continue to rule Canada after being declared winner of Monday’s elections, though it is unclear if it will be a minority or majority government.

In a speech in Ottawa in the late hours after his victory was secured, he took dead aim at Trump with a dark premonition, claiming to be preparing ‘for the worst.’

‘As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our water, our resources, our country… never,’ he promised. 

Carney said these were not ‘idle threats,’ adding: ‘President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us.’ 

‘That will never, ever happen. But we also must recognize the reality that our world has fundamentally changed,’ he said to applause. 

Carney promised, still, to meet with Trump despite ‘a crisis that we did not create’ and promised to ‘win this trade war with America.’

‘When I sit down with President Trump, it will be to discuss the future economic and strategic relationship between two sovereign nations and it will be with full knowledge that we have many other options to build prosperity for all Canadians.’

However, he warned: ‘Our old relationship of integration with the U.S. is now over. These are tragedies but it’s also our new reality. We are over the shock of the American betrayal, we have to take care of each other.’

‘We will strengthen our relationship with reliable partners in Europe and Asia and elsewhere in the world and if the U.S. Doesn’t want to play a pivotal in the world economy, we will lead, not the Americans.’ 

Trump, in a bit of a pivot from his recent rhetoric, has called Carney ‘a nice gentleman’ following the election and said he planned to meet with him at the White House in the coming weeks. 

He even suggested that Carney was the less ‘anti-Trump’ candidate rather than Conservative Party leader Pierre Pierre Poilievre.
