It's Canada Day — and Canadians are marking it under a strange cloud. A year of U.S. tariffs, talk from President Trump of making Canada the "51st state," and a brand-new Detroit-Windsor bridge finished but sitting empty. And today, of all days, the trade deal between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico comes up for review.

Historian Craig Baird, host of Canadian History Ehx, tells host Robyn Vincent we've been here before — back in the 1890s, when the U.S. tried to squeeze Canada with tariffs and it backfired, fueling a wave of Canadian pride. He explains what that history rhymes with now, and where the comparison breaks down.
