How the U.S. and Canada fell into a feud – and how it could end
About this episode
The episode discusses the current tensions between the U.S. and Canada and explores the future of their relationship.
It's supposed to be the world's longest peaceful border, but you wouldn't know it listening to the country's leaders. What's next now that America and Canada, whose economies are intertwined, are on the verge of unwinding? Compass Points moderator Nick Schifrin discusses how we got here and where this once rock-solid alliance goes next with Shuvaloy Majumdar, Christopher Sands and Robert Zoellick.
