Mina's showing rods. She's showing rods on the chat. For free?
Is it true that you passed on the George Foreman grill idea?
What happened? Tell me the story.
Isn't this exciting? You did not come here today to box, right?
All right.
The goat. The pitchman goat is what we just witnessed in that clip.
We fully believe that he is going to continue to play that game.
Show us the rods. Mina's showing rods. She's showing rods on the chat.
From The New York Times, I'm Kim Severson, and this is The Daily. A gloves-off trade war with America is uniting Canadians from all corners of the country against its southern neighbor. Today, my colleague Matina Stevis-Gridneff on what that trade war means for the future of the relationship and how this fight is shifting the country's politics, its culture, and its place on the global stage.
It's Thursday, March 13th. Matina, you've been traveling across Canada reporting on what's turned out to be a very big news week. Thank you for taking the time to come on the show. Thank you so much for having me, Kim. So coming into his presidency, I think there was an expectation that Trump might make waves on matters of international diplomacy.
But I don't think many of us had make Canadians really, really angry on their bingo card.
So let's rewind a little and just remind me of how we got here. We're in a place where Canadians who, to many Americans, seem very, very nice, have turned downright hostile and find themselves in such a political vice.
Right. I think a lot of us did. And no one knew if it was one of the many things that he says that you don't know whether to take seriously or not. For sure.
Right. And we've talked on the show before about the threat of tariffs and the way Trump justified them at the outset. is that he would be using them as a way of forcing our neighboring countries to reduce both migrant traffic and drug traffic from coming into the U.S. But these are not, seems to me, major problems at the border of Canada.
So was there a sense among the Canadian government that this was about something else? Absolutely.
I mean, this seems like an extraordinary moment. Here is Trump on the phone with Trudeau, essentially saying, I don't respect your borders or your sovereignty. How is the Canadian government reacting to all this at this point?
I don't really want to play Canada's therapist here, but what's behind the reaction? Is it defiance? Is it betrayal? I mean, what do you think is unifying the Canadians at this point?
We'll be right back. Matina, you were telling us that what's happening in Canada in response to the trade wars and to the intense rhetoric coming from the Trump administration was beginning to change Canada in some extremely significant ways that really have long-term implications. Can you tell me what you mean by that?
So Canadians know him as a solid economics policy guy. For sure.
Okay. Can you remind me how this works? So he's serving as prime minister, and then he has to run fairly soon again as prime minister. Can you just give me the little Canadian Parliament 101?
