we have it here in manitoba and we're sending it south of the border. but if that relationship is going to change, if it's not going to work for us as canadians any longer, then we're going to have to make a change in that decision to send power south. so again, this is not the conversation i want to have. i would much rather be talking about increasing base load power exports to the u.s. but again, i shared this message with governor tim walz and some of our other neighbors. we have to look out for our canadian economic interests. so as long as the trump administration is going to be threatening tariffs like this, we're going to make those decisions and use those tools that we have to reach out to other americans to raise your voices and hopefully persuade the trump administration to focus on better things, like lowering prices for the average consumer. >> premier, wab kinew, thank you so much for the time. >> thank you. >> still ahead on news central u.s. service members accused of selling military secrets to buyers in china. we have new reporting fro

speaker, members of the 69th legislative assembly, tribal leaders, former governor schafer, manitoba premier kinew, family and friends, and fellow citizens. thank you for joining us here today, and welcome. [applause] addressing you this afternoon as the 34th governor of the great state of north dakota is an honor of a lifetime. and to serve during this period of unprecedented opportunity in our state is a blessing. as we begin this journey together, i think it is worth reflecting on just how far our state has come in such a short amount of time. 20 years ago, our state's population was 634,000 people. that's 56,000 fewer residents than we had in 1930. in 74 years, we had lost the equivalent of the city of grand forks. then, because of hard work, ingenuity, and smart policy, our state was about to experience exponential growth because someone had decided to take a risk and try something new. that something new was horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing into the bakken shale formation, revitalizing the long stagnant oil and gas industry in north dakota. fast forward to just a fe

you had one mayor, i think it was of manitoba saying that they're going to take all american liquor offthe shelf. you hearing they're hearing the national anthem, booed at hockey games. you're seeing people wear made in america shirts trying to find that, you know, antagonizing other shoppers when they may be reaching for maple sirup that comes from vermont. what are you doing? take maple sirup that comes from canada. it's not. we've been such close friends for so long. it's just a strange position to be in, to find that our closest neighbor to the north is suddenly, suddenly feels more like not our enemy, but we don't feel like we're comfortable buddies any longer. >> yeah. what does it tell you about how radically donald trump has reoriented foreign policy? that canada is the adversary and russia is the friend? that's what's happened in the last six weeks, right? he said nicer things about vladimir putin than he has about justin trudeau. and he seems to be more willing to cater to russia's national interests than to canada's at national. and you're right, it's mind boggling in some wa

manitoba lawmakers passing an order pulling u.s.liquor from all its stores, giving businesses their tax incentives. and in alberta, the premier told cnn they're turning to other trading partners who are honoring their trade deals. with us now is anthony housefather, a canadian member of parliament. sir, thank you so much for being with us. how are you seeing this development? and if there is ultimately a chance for an off ramp, do you see it as an execution merely postponed, or a sign that actually there is something of a lasting ability to avoid these tariffs? >> yeah, i think, brianna, like most canadians. >> i've been shocked. i have a lot of family that lives in the united states, a lot of friends there. i was the general counsel of a u.s. based multinational. so i've worked in the united states an awful lot. and i think. >> we always. >> thought the united states was a stable partner and ally. our best friend. and then we've sort of seen that just one person can change that dynamic. and the bipartisan consensus we've had, wheth

get on the phone right now after i get off this, and i'm going to be talking to the premiers of manitoba and ontario, and we're going to figure out what we can do that's in our power at the federal level to make a difference. those those are the things we should be doing. those are what leaders across the country should be doing. and as i pledged yesterday, if these republicans are too afraid to go out there and tell people how great it is to fire va employees, i'll go with them. i'll go with members out there. i'll go with people to let them speak. the public wants to speak, and i'll guarantee you that it is a lot of independents, and it's a lot of folks who are saying, who's going to stand with us? which party stands with us? because what they're figuring out right now is it's sure the hell isn't donald trump with firing va employees. but are the democrats going to stand up? that's a question we need to answer. >> is kamala harris a future leader for the democratic party well, i certainly think she could be. >> there'll be decisions to be, like i say, all of us. >> do you think she sho

manitoba, bc we all have to act. >> in unison. >> out east, they rely on our energy. they need to feel. >> the pain. >> they want to come at us hard. we're going to come back twice as hard. >> donald trump. >> launching a trade war that will cost consumers and hurt american businesses and potentially leave america isolated on the world stage, is where we start today with the aforementioned premier of ontario, doug ford. premier ford, thank you for being here. i saw those remarks. i read the coverage of it. just tell us again how, first of all, back up and tell us how trump's moves impact impact your constituents and impact us here at home. >> sure. well, first. >> of all. >> thanks for having me on, nicole. and i have to tell you, canada loves the us. they love the american people. there's one person that's created this chaos. >> and. >> that's president trump. you know, president trump had a mandate to come in and cut costs and create more jobs. that's a total opposite. manufacturing plants will close. assembly lines will shut down in the auto sector within the next
