Don't Blame Canada: Trump Blew It With Our Besties

Tariffs, Tantrums, and the Future of US-Canada Relations

America’s relationship with Canada has always been close — like cousins who share a border and a love for maple syrup. We basically co-parented Justin Bieber – raising him and now arguing about who is responsible for who he’s become. But lately, Trump is picking fights about more serious matters. Will our relationship ever recover?

Watch now:

In this episode, we explore how Donald Trump has soured the relationship with our once closest ally – referring to Canada as the “51st state.” I talk with Noor Azrieh, host and producer of the Canadaland podcast , and Silke Labson – my friend who fled north after Trump took office the first time.
