  • Hey, it's Jess. Annie Minoff, one of our senior producers,

  • is going to be stepping in to do some hosting this summer while Ryan is out on leave.

  • Enjoy.

  • I have a question.

  • Who's ready?

  • Who's ready?

  • Last night, Mark Carney celebrated his victory in Canada's election at a hockey arena in Ottawa.

  • Who's ready to stand up for Canada with me?

  • Carney, who had already been leading the Liberal Party, will continue to serve as prime minister.

  • But a surprising portion of his acceptance speech wasn't focused on Canada.

  • America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country.

  • And what was Carney's speech like?

  • It was measured.

  • Our colleague Vipal Manga was there.

  • And a lot of it was focused at the U.S.

  • In some ways, firing warning shots at Trump,

  • letting him know that Canada realizes that his threats to annex Canada,

  • his tariff war, are a betrayal.

  • We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons.

  • What could this moment and Carney's election mean for U.S.-Canada relations?
