“Blessed Canada! Our neighbors, our friends,” she said, prompting cheers from the audience. The comments come amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Canada, with Washington recently banning imports of dairy, alcohol, and motorcycles from the country, and Canada retaliating with tariffs on $20 billion in American goods. Meanwhile, Field also subtly criticized the potential merger of Paramount and Warner Bros., calling for the preservation of diverse storytelling in the arts.
