‘Keep your nose out’: Pete Hoekstra warns Canadian politicians ahead of US midterms after 100,000 Canadians sought his expulsion

US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra has warned Canadian politicians to “keep their nose out” of American politics ahead of the November midterm elections, alleging that comments by officials and Ontario’s anti-tariff advertising campaign could amount to election interference. His remarks come amid escalating US-Canada trade tensions and Donald Trump’s renewed claim that Canada could become the 51st US state.
