Oh, you know, I've been talking with Canadians for the past couple of weeks since Trump first announced he was going to do this. And the responses have been anger and disbelief and really wanting to hit back. You know, there's a campaign that got underway to avoid buying any American products here.

And, you know, Steve, Canada is one of the U.S. largest trading partners. But, you know, it's more than that. This feels personal up here, especially when Trump keeps saying he wants to turn Canada into the 51st state.
