Donald Trump’s tariff and annexation threats have awoken us to a crude reality: that Canada is fatefully tied to the United States. How did we get here? When did “partnership” become dependency?

HOW TO BUY A COUNTRY is a 4-part docuseries, narrated by Jesse Wente, which unravels the history of growing U.S. influence in Canada made in collaboration with re•generation, a Canadian youth-led movement using storytelling and digital media to expose corporate power and build support for a more just future.

Unusual intelligence, clarity, and narrative force.
