Canada Is Breaking Free From Trump’s Grip — America Has a Problem ! Rachel Maddow

Canada and the United States have spent decades deeply connected through trade, energy, defense, and supply chains. But that relationship is changing. Canada’s dependence on the United States has fallen sharply, while Ottawa is looking toward Europe, Asia, new energy routes, critical minerals, domestic infrastructure, and stronger defense partnerships. In this video, we examine the five physical signs behind Canada’s economic shift — from Pacific energy exports and European cooperation to changing consumer behavior, new infrastructure, and Canada’s evolving defense strategy. But is Canada really breaking free from America? Or is geography, trade integration, and economic reality still too powerful to overcome? We examine both sides of the argument and look at the key developments to watch next. Watch until the end for the four numbers and decisions that could reveal where Canada–U.S. relations are heading next.
