Canada hates us, but it's not all Trump's fault. : It's Been a Minute

NPR’s It’s Been a Minute revisits U.S.-Canada relations through a cultural lens, starting with how little Americans typically know about Canada compared with the knowledge Canadians have about the U.S. Cornell historian Jon Parmenter notes that roughly two-thirds of Canada’s population lives within an hour’s drive of the U.S. border, making the connection daily rather than distant. Slate’s Scaachi Koul says the U.S. knows “almost nothing” about Canada, likening the border to a “one-way mirror.” The episode links rising tensions to comments floated by President Donald Trump about annexing Canada as the 51st state, which Canadians largely rejected.
