Canada’s Biggest Night in Music: Highlights from the 2025 Juno Awards

The 2025 Juno Awards lit up Vancouver on Sunday night, celebrating the best in Canadian music. With Michael Bublé returning as host for the third time, the night was filled with memorable performances, big wins, and even a few political jabs.

Michael Bublé Gets Political

Before the awards were even handed out, Bublé took a moment to address recent Canada-U.S. tensions, responding to former U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks about Canada potentially becoming the 51st state.

"We are the greatest nation on earth and we are not for sale," Bublé declared to the crowd.
"I’m proud to be Canadian. I‘m proud that when they go low… we go high."

Anne Murray Honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award

Canadian music icon Anne Murray received the Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing her legendary career and influence on Canadian music.

Nemahsis Makes History

Palestinian-Canadian artist Nemahsis was one of the night’s biggest winners. She won Alternative Album of the Year at the pre-telecast ceremony on Saturday and then Breakthrough Artist of the Year on Sunday.
