Junos 2025 highlights: Michael Bublé says Canada is 'not for sale,' Anne Murray talks pressure to move to U.S.
Canadian music artists were celebrated at the 2025 Junos, which took place in Vancouver, led by three-time host Michael Bublé. While the night was a moment to recognize Canadian talent, we couldn't forget the existing Canada, U.S. tensions. Ahead of the award presentations and music performances from Canada's most celebrated music artists, Bublé took a jab at U.S. President Donald Trump. Specifically the threat that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state. "We are the greatest nation on earth and we are not for sale," Bublé said to the crowd. "I'm proud to be Canadian. I'm proud that when they go low, … we go high," he also said at the Juno Awards. The rest of Bublé's opening remarks were largely centred around being a proud Canadian. 'We love this country. We love it and when you love it you show up for it. And we always will," he said. "We will because we're formidable. Because we're fearless. Because we don't just acknowledge our differences, we embrace them.' Ahead of the 2025 Junos, Bublé expressed that he was "stressed" about the current relationship between Canada and the U.S. "I'm so happy that I'm a singer and my job is not to be political," Bublé told The Canadian Press. "My job is to brighten people's lives with music and hopefully humour, and to infuse it with a little more love than I got here with." "But I understand, because I'm one of those Canadians who's stressed." Canadian music legend Anne Murray to be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award Presented by the National Arts Centre. While she spoke about the journey to success in her career, including growing up in Nova Scotia, she also took the time to talk about the pressure she felt to move to the U.S. as she gained success. "I was pressured very early in my career to move to New York or Los Angeles," Murray said. "And I just couldn't do it." "I knew instantly that I needed a place to go, to escape when my work was done. Canada's my safe haven, my safety blanket, my light at the end of the tunnel. And it still is." Palestinian-Canadian musician Nemahsis was a big winner at the 2025 Junos. At the pre-telecast ceremony on Saturday, she received the award for best alternative album of the year, and she won her second Juno on Sunday for breakthrough artist or group of the year. 'This is dedicated to all the hijabis that are," Nemahsis said. "I've been wearing hijab for 20-plus years and all I ever wanted was to turn on Family Channel, YTV and just see somebody that looks like me." "I didn't think it would take this long and I didn't think I would be the one to do it. But I'm happy it got to this." When accepting her award on Saturday, Nemahsis recognized that the winners have "failed to mention the elephant in the room. The Palestinian in the room." "I look around in this room and the people I relate most to are the Indigenous people, because I too am Indigenous somewhere," she said. "And I can't even perform this album there yet." "The people of Palestine. I will perform this album there and I love you." The 2025 Junos were also used to celebrate the Canadian punk band Sum 41, who were inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame, and closed out the awards ceremony with their last ever performance. Although not Canadians, Joel and Benji Madden took the Junos stage to praise some of their "longest, closest friends," Sum 41. "These guys are legends. They hold a very special place in punk rock music," Benji said. Then Sum 41 frontman, Deryck Whibley, then thanked the band's fans for sticking with them through "all the ups and the down." "This moment is surreal for us because we've not really an awards show band," he said. "We've always just focused on being our best, not paying attention to anyone else, except for Iron Maiden, of course." "But if I had to sum up our journey in one word it would persistence."

Lowell, Tate McRae win big for global hits at Juno Awards industry gala
Tate McRae's Exes at the Juno Awards industry ceremony on Saturday, although the global popstar was absent because she was booked to appear at a music festival in Brazil. The Junos hardware was handed out during the gala in Vancouver where prizes in more than 40 categories will be awarded — including single and album of the year, as well as the new Juno recognizing South Asian music — ahead of Sunday's televised ceremony. Elizabeth Lowell Boland won the first songwriter of the year award created for non-performers. She picked up the prize for her work behind the scenes on Beyonce's Cowboy Carter album and the Beaches' Takes One To Know One. The Calgary-raised Boland pushed for splitting the songwriting Juno category into two awards — performer and non-performer — after seeing the only Juno songwriting trophy consistently won by well-known stage performers. "I've been fighting for this award," Boland said. "I chased down people at parties. I was really annoying. I joked that people would run away from me when they saw me at parties, because I wasn't really interested in mingling. I just wanted to change this one little thing. Inuk singer-songwriter Elisapie and Haisla hip-hop duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids were early winners at the Juno Awards industry ceremony. The Saturday evening soirée saw Elisapie's pop covers collection Inuktitut pick up adult alternative album, while Rez Kids' Red Future landed rap album of the year. "I had a good cry walking here," said Darren Metz from Rez Kids in the press room. "When you work so hard towards something for so long, and then finally get it, all the emotions that you endured throughout that journey just come out." Other early winners included No Time by Interplanetary Criminal and SadBoi, which earned dance recording of the year. This But More by Priori won electronic album. Folk singer Sarah Harmer will receive this year's humanitarian award for her advocacy of environmental and human rights issues. The ceremony, which streams live on CBC Music's YouTube page starting at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET, is a precursor to Sunday's televised CBC broadcast hosted by Michael Bublé. WATCH | Find out who wins at Saturday's gala: Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences chief executive Allan Reid, whose organization presents the Junos, says Bublé jumped at the opportunity to host for a third time after taking the role in 2013 and 2018. Reid says this year's show takes on new importance in the context of the Canada-U.S. trade dispute, with Canadian artists "at the forefront of culture" and helping "define who we are as a nation."

Canadian crooner Michael Bublé will host, and that's reason enough for senior entertainment reporter Eli Glasner to get excited. Bublé said on Friday he's letting his actions speak for his national pride by hosting the Juno Awards in Vancouver this weekend, as Canada-U.S. tensions surge in the background. Bublé says he doesn't want to "add to the energy of a troll" by being too vocal amid the dispute but is instead focusing his energy as a proud Canadian on "why we're so special" and "unique." He says he doesn't take the duty of celebrating the best of Canadian music lightly.
