In this video, we’re breaking down the real story behind the boycott that’s shaking the U.S.-Canada relationship. Why are Canadians saying enough is enough? What are the economic consequences on both sides of the border? And is there any way to fix what’s already unraveling? The political landscape in Canada has undergone a significant change. After the recent national elections, the Liberal Party managed to maintain its hold on power, securing a full term for its new leader, Mark Carney.

Known globally for his previous roles as Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, Carney is stepping into the prime ministership at a time of complex challenges, both domestically and internationally. His government wasted no time making its stance clear on one of the country’s most pressing issues—its relationship with the United States. In his first public address as Prime Minister, Carney took a firm tone, highlighting rising tensions with the U.S. administration.

“President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us,” he said. “America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. Never.” This declaration, made less than 24 hours into his tenure, marked a sharp contrast to the often diplomatic tone taken by Canadian leaders in the past. It reflects a growing concern among Canadian officials and citizens that the balance in their cross-border relationship is shifting—and not in their favor.
