Please, STOP giving US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra a microphone! He has no intention of pursuing improved US-Canada relations, or understanding Canadian politics and our mutual interests whatsoever. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra thinks his job is to feed into Trump’s delusions, bully and gaslight the Canadian public and obfuscate US-Canada news and political narratives, especially regarding the truth about Trump’s tariffs. Pete Hoekstra doesn’t have a single diplomatic brain cell left, so it’s best for Canadian news media to IGNORE him.
