America’s relationship with Canada has always been close — like cousins who share a border, celebrities and culture, and a love for maple syrup. But lately, that closeness has taken a weird turn.

In this episode, we explore how Donald Trump has soured the relationship with our once closest ally – referring to Canada as the “51st state.”

Host Akilah Hughes talks with Noor Azrieh, host and producer of the podcast Canadaland, and Silke Labson – Akilah’s friend who fled north after Trump took office the first time.

Guests:

Noor Azrieh, host and producer of the podcast Canadaland.
Silke Labson, owner of Hen Dog Marketing (and Akilah’s friend)
