New US Ambassador to Canada is "Outraged" We Are Defending Ourselves

Is it “outrageous” to ban American products on Canadian shelves in response to Trump’s annexation fixation? Well, the orange guy in the White House has another marionette’s strings to pull in Pete Hoekstra, the new American Ambassador to Canada, who made these statements in a recent interview. The United States has “never done anything like that to Canada”, he says. (Pause for eye roll.) Let’s talk about these and some other appalling comments the US Ambassador to Canada has said regarding the Trump tariffs. Is Pete Hoekstra gaslighting us? Let’s remember how we got here in the first place, Pete… This isn’t the first time that America has happily twisted history, and it won’t be the last. (PS: I had to mute a lot of cussing in this one. Sorry.)In Episode 145 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, host Bill Kelly discusses the recent appointment of Pete Hoekstra as the American ambassador to Canada. Bill expresses concern over Hoekstra's alignment with Trump administration policies, particularly regarding trade and tariffs. He highlights the impact of these policies on Canadian industries and the government's response, including looking for alternative trade partners. The conversation also touches on historical misrepresentations of Canada's contributions in global events and emphasizes the need for Canada to assert its sovereignty in international relations.Become a YouTube channel member to hear Bill’s stories and life lessons from 50+ years as a broadcast journalist in his members-only series, MORAL OF THE STORY: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUbzckOLocFzNeY1D72iCA/joinDon’t forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!
