August 30, 2026; 8am: President Trump is feuding with a top ally that could lead to price hikes for Americans. After Trump’s trade with Canada collapsed, and both countries hit each other with tariffs, the trade war took a bizarre twist. Not only did Trump sign an executive order to formally rename ‘Lake Ontario’ to ‘Lake America,’ he also shared an AI generated video on Truth Social depicting an army of heavily armed Canadian geese with Trump wigs. Chrystia Freeland, the former Deputy Prime Minister and former Foreign Minister of Canada, and Democratic Rep. Tim Kennedy of New York, whose district is on the border of Canada and Lake Ontario, join “The Weekend” to discuss.
