  It has been an emotional couple of weeks for us Canadians.

• 00:16

  Uh, Robert Smith, I know you were born north of the border, but you've been in the US a while now.

• 00:22

  More than 30 years.

• 00:23

  But Donald Trump's strange beef with my homeland is bringing

• 00:28

  out the gentle snow person that was living inside of me not believe

• 00:33

  that he started out his administration with a 25% tariff on the sweet,

• 00:38

  sweet country of Canada.

• 00:39

  Then he suddenly suspends it, Then he said it was going forward.

• 00:43

  Did I imagine this whole thing?

• 00:44

  And then Trump started to talk about Canada as the 51st state,

• 00:48

  which just made me and most other Canadians furious.

• 00:52

  I mean, you're describing denial, anger.

• 00:54

  It's like you're going through the stages of grief.

• 00:57

  Okay.

• 00:57

  You know, I have definitely been bargaining,

• 00:59

  thinking maybe this is a negotiating ploy for something.

• 01:04

  And I am depressed about the whole thing.

• 01:06

  So are you here today to tell us you've moved to the fifth stage of grief?

• 01:10

  Are you at acceptance of Canada as the 51st state?
