Summary

On the show today, Kimberly joins us from an Ontario polling station on Canada’s election day.

Plus, what Canadians are saying about boycotting American products and canceling their U.S. vacations.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

"Canadians vote today after fierce campaign shaped by Trump" from CBC News

"Canada votes in an election upended by Trump. Here’s what to know." from The Washington Post

"Canada’s Political Landscape Upended by Trump, Trudeau and Tariffs" from The New York Times
