Why Mark Carney’s victory won’t heal the US-Canada rift

Ian Bremmer shares his insights on global politics this week on World In :60.

I think sometimes you have relationship with somebody, and they do something that shocks you, you can't unsee it, I think US-Canada is like that now. I think the damage is permanent. Of course, the interdependence is immense. The dependence on the Canadian side is higher. They're a much smaller country. Their population is right next to the United States. Just a thin strip there.
