Canadian stores have recently embarked on a notable movement by removing American liquor and wine from their shelves in direct protest against President Trump’s tariffs. This initiative reflects a growing wave of nationalism in both Mexico and Canada, driven by Trump’s "America First" policy.

The situation has garnered attention as the Canadian response has been framed by some media outlets, including the New York Times, as Canada taking Trump’s rhetoric of being treated as the "51st state" quite seriously. With the trade tensions escalating, Richard Haass, a senior counselor at Centerview Partners, joined Chris Jansing to discuss the implications of the ongoing trade war and its impact on both nations.

This protest is part of a broader backlash against U.S. trade policies, which are perceived as detrimental to cross-border relationships and economic ties. As retailers in Canada make this symbolic gesture, it signifies not only their economic grievances but also a rallying cry for national pride amid external pressures.
