Donald Trump has repeatedly stated he wants to annex Canada as the "51st State" of the United States.
Under Trump, the US has started a trade war with its nearest neighbour, imposing punishing tariffs.
Canada, led by Justin Trudeau and now his successor Mark Carney, are pushing back.
Meanwhile, Trump has sided with Vladimir Putin in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Katie Stallard meets Daniel Béland, Director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, to discuss Canada's response to Trump and in-country tensions ahead of the coming Canada general election. They also discuss the role of the US and Donald Trump in the world, and whether the US could form a military alliance with Russia.
