U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra joins David Leis for a blunt conversation about trade, pipelines, critical minerals, China, and why the U.S. is growing frustrated with Canada’s direction. 

Hoekstra says America wants to partner with Canada, grow prosperity, protect freedoms, and build major projects together, but warns the relationship is being tested by harmful policies, trade barriers, and political decisions coming out of Ottawa. 

He says the U.S. is taking Canada’s words seriously and shares what closer ties with China could mean for Canada’s future.
